laguna intercoler, hose problems

[exsaxoboy!]

Right, fitted the cooler today, all well apart from the 135degree hose doesnt seem to line up too well to the black standard hose, which means theres a kink in the standard one. Any one else had this problem. Any help much appreciated.

i had a slight kind, but i ended up buying a 135degree 63mm hose, and joinign it to the 63-51mm 45 degree reducer. this made the bend much better. although didnt make any difference to the performance or airflow.

EDIT: are you talking about the one in the wheel arch or the 135 that goes up and connects to the 10cm black hose near the gearbox?

im talking about the one that joind onto the ovalised plastic tube. im sure this willl restrict airflowas its kinked to the point wher the standard pipe has gone oval in the bend.

Do you need pictures? I can grab some at lunch perhaps?

what i done with mine was to fit a extra bend it's about 110 degree.
as it was kinked far to much for my liking

not great pics but you get the idea

 

[exsaxoboy!]

yeah, that looks perfect, just what i need. Is that an off the shelf bend, or did you have to get it made up?

 

[karl.w]

i got it and the rest of my pipes out of work

but you should be able to get one anywhere

karl tell me if im being ironic but is that a forge silicone pipe i see there? best of both worlds!
