Hi all, have had a quick search but with little to no luck.

I'm just after the diameter of the inlet and outlet of the cooler core so I can grab some more silicone joiners before I head off and grab some more tomorrow.

Cheers, Steve.

Pretty confident it's 80mm not 3 inch, I know the engine end is 80mm. Japan don't use imperial at all afaik.

3 inch will stretch over 80mm but it's a pain in the arse. Better to just get the correct size.

Silicone will help it slip off too. I want to use Tarzan grip on mine to stop it leaking at 32+

80mm is easy enough to get these days.

Use hair spray. It wont go anywhere

Ive also stretched 3" onto the intercooler, but sounds right that it would be a typical jap 80mm (3 1/4")

Cos I'm picky, the Japanese do use bsp so yu r rong. Take that .

Why change what works, if it wasn't for the bloody US it would probably be a world pipe standard.

Pretty sure they had laws against using imperial, as did Australia.

Um.....BSP is Imperial. The very definition of Imperial. It's just different Imperial to the NPT Imperial. As long as we're using "Imperial" to mean "based on units which are based on the length of some old codger's thumb".

BSP has become metricised, but the sizes are still exactly the same old inch bullshit they always were.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
