charge pipe size

[danielc16]

hi right could any one tell me whats the standed size and whats the best size to use? if i change the pipe run! im making the system my self and using a pipe bender and a welder.

i got a k03 turbo and want to upgrade to a k03s later this year..


so any could tell me what size pipe i should use and i included another members car on what i would i would like the pipes to go

Standard charge pipe size is 51mm but if your making it workself then go with a minimum of 60mm, if theres room for it id personally go for 63mm, those are inside diameter measurements of course

whats the turbo outlet size? do i need to reducers or any think if i go 60 or 63 to the turbo and i am buying the map sensor pipe from forge too

Imo there is no use in going bigger than 63mm and personally I am going for 60mm. THis because the turbo outlet is only 48mm. so yes you'll have to reduce there (you can also reduce it to 51mm which will fit)

I also wouldn;'t go bigger than 60mm because most intercooler ports are 57mm. You have to think that whenever air has to suddenly expand or decrease due to fluctuating pipe measurements, it slows down.

Therefore the MAP pipe is a must. THis because the throttle is 63mm going to say your 57mm intercooler port. But in between that the oem MAP pipe is something like 44mm (at smallest point)

hope that helps

Was just thinking then that i was wrong, the charge pipe size is 57mm and the reducer on top of the turbo is 51mm iirc.

The standard hoses are 60mm tho reuvers not 57mm

 

[Reuvers]

what standard hoses myki?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

The crappy plastic pipes take 60mm hoses

so top of the turbo is 51mm and the charge pipe 57 and is it the inletmanifold is 60mm?

As far as i remember yes mate. 60mm on the throttle body is a very tight fit aswel so wont be popping off thats for sure lol

 

[danielc16]

so im all right now about the charge pipe and size of the turbo outlet? charge pipe: 57mm turbo:51mm and give and take 60mm for the tb

 

[Reuvers]

I knew that wasn't correct.

No charge pipe is smaller. I was doubting but its not.

especially as I'm going for 60mm now thinking it was larger...

My old intercooler still keeps poping up, if i can remember rightly it was 63mm all the way with a reducer onto the turbo which was a k03s, best pipe work setup ive seen does need you to change the washer bottle though

 

[danielc16]

thats y i use it as a base to start from neil

 

[danielc16]

oh yea neil where was your intercooler from? make?

Cant get it anymore, only about 7 made i think by some members but they got banned due to trading rules or something like that, was an A&M motorsport fmic kit

 

[danielc16]
