Need these pipes

[R 20vt J]

Can anyone tell me the size and bends of these pipes (highlighted) as I have bought a FMIC but i only have the piping for the other side. I was going to buy a map sensor tube and run the piping up to the throttle body, but because of money i have decided to go with this piping and want to order it...

Any help much appreciated! Ross.

come on mate, get the map sensor off forge. It will cost you 25 quid extra than it would not buying it. But it will significantly improve your flow, as those black OEM plastic pipes are very narrow.

Does the map sensor go from the blue silicon pipe to the throttle body?

What pipes would i need from the cooler to the throttle body including the map sensor tube?

I am unsure about what i need... don't want it to be to costly.

from throttle to fmic you'll need

1 x 90 degree 63mm (or 60mm if you want very snug)
connect the MAF sensor pipe from forge to that (either 60 or 63)

then you'll need a 45 degree bend on the intercooler in the size the intercooler has (possibly 57mm)
A alloy pipe connects into that like your pic shows (same size)
then another 45 degree bend on that (iirc), which connects to the MAF pipe

so one 90 degree and two 45degree plus abit of pipe work

and thats from fmic to tb yes

wheres the best place to buy that kind of hose and pipe

in the pic I posted, you see 2 hoses. 1 is on the fmic itself then an alloy pipe, then another 45 degree bend which goes up to the (new) map sensor alloy pipe. THen on that there is a 90 degree 60mm or 63mm silicone bend onto throttle.


as for where to get them, I live in The Netherlands, but I'm sure that with a little bit of effort you could find that out on your own....sigh

btw peachy, if you look at the topic starters' pic, where it meets the black plastic pipe, it bends inwards towards the bay and then up. atm I have a 90 degree bend on the throttle, connecting to an alloy pipe, then another 90 degree bend which fits on the black pipe.
This is because the MAP sensor is on the other intercooler route going to chargepipe.

But if you choose to lose the oem MAP sensor and the other plastic pipe, then you might get it to fit like I mentioned in previous post. Obviously this depends on the length of the silicone hoses and alloy pipework. (and trust me there is a lot of difference in lengths between different manufacturers)

i have the very same set up as the top pic but i want to lose that black pipe that thins out and lose the oem map pipe ang get the forge one and set it up like the pip you posted

Now I see it's called a pancake pipe for a reason...nasty nasty flow

 

[Reuvers]

but the MAP pipe is on the other side of the IC going to chargepipe.
So you can opt to either change it where its located at the moment, or do it where I posted.

this is how myki done his:

I can't really be of too much help as I'm going LCR/S3 route along the other side of rocker and losing the standard chargepipe

peachy just had a look see and its all 90 degree bends you need. so replace the 45 degree ones I mentioned for 90 degree
