Does anyone here know the Diameter of the stock TB the stock intake pipe and stock MAF

Because im changing my intake pipe i need to know there exact diameter to get piping just a lil bigger to fit them

Cheers lads

[delcowizzid]

3 inch for all

[WogBoyz]

cheers

also whats that in mm?

i forgot to mention its for the 3.8 vs v6

[WogBoyz]

anyone know what they are in mm?

[immortality]

3" is 76mm. however i'm fairly sure the OD of the TB is 80mm. but will need to double check tommorow

[WogBoyz]

kk can u lemme 2mro man

im guessing the maf will be same size

i just dont wanna get pipe too small or too big ect

cheers

[immortality]

if your getting alloy pipe it'll only come in 3" i've not seen it in 80mm. you would need to find some silicone joiners that will go from 76-80mm

[WogBoyz]

im doing exactly what he did:

Steel piping Air intake

pretty sure he didnt need 76 - 80mm silocan joiners

[immortality]

if you look at the pick you can see that the silicone joiner that goes onto the MAF is flared. you can also see that the hose clamp around MAF fitting has less exess hanging out the end (then the hose clamp on the pipe end). if he hasn't used a reducer then he's stretched a 76mm straight joiner to suit but i've not managed to do that

[WogBoyz]

oh ok so i will need a 76 - 80mm joiner from the intercooler pipe to the Tb and the same from the pipe to the maf correct?

i guess it doesnt matter if its a few mm to big cus i can just tighten the clamps right down to seal it all up

[TrikkBen]

could u just get a reducer?

[WogBoyz]

whats that?

[TrikkBen]

Look up Silicon Reducer, it reduces from one size to another for example 100mm down to 80mm, its molded like that.

[WogBoyz]

ohhh i get ya that cud work but whats the size of the intercooler pipe supercheap n autobarn sell?

[TrikkBen]

no idea mate, go on ebay see if u can find a reducer to fit, check the autobahn site i reckon they would have sizes there

[WogBoyz]

wudnt the reducer have the same effect as joiner from smaller to bigger and a reducer wud be from bigger to smaller ect

[TrikkBen]

lol i think we are talking about the same thing, Bigger to Smaller, Smaller to Bigger... Just spin them around...lol

[WogBoyz]

haha yeah i think we are, well that solves the joiner problem even if ther a lil bigger like i said b4 i can just tighten em down ill do check out repco see if they have better intercooler pipe cus supercheap n autobarn had crap all

[TrikkBen]

fair enough, u should just run one piece of intercooler pipe, instead of the stainless pipe

[WogBoyz]

im gunna same as this

Steel piping Air intake

is that what u meant?

[TrikkBen]

yer, but i would lose the steel pipe and use all intercooler pipe

[WogBoyz]

he said he did use intercooler pipe just ive had a look at what them auto stores had i cant make it totally from all intercooler pipe its too long and the bends are wrong, that one long peice of intercooler pipe strecches right from the filter to the tb he had to put half the pipe in the silocan

[TrikkBen]

ohh ok now i'm with ya

[WogBoyz]

yeah ive tried using the intercooler pipe from tb to the maf but the bend is a bit too much off so only way is to have the straight pipe with the silcan joiners, which is a pain

[TrikkBen]

yeppp, what about heating the pipe up and persuading it on... no deal??
