Turbo Inlet pipe.
 

I need some help locationg a new inlet hose for my turbo for my 89. i have a nissan parts dept in my work. I asked one of the guys to price it ( this is rubber hose that come off the metal pipe that sits over the rocker cover and down past the maifold) so they priced it for me and itll cost me £193 quid and some shrapnel. Normally i would buy genuine before inferior parts but theres a limit to what im going to spend on a rubber hose! So i thought id ask on here if anyone knows where i could get 1 from at a resonable price? would it be cheaper get in silicone? but i still dunno what im looking for. Id try scrappys but prob better to buy a new pipe that way i wont need to replace it.

I've got one I think... I'll have a look tomorrow. If you want it hows a fiver plus postage sound?

Alv

Is it in good nick? Ill deffo hav it man if u can find it.

Is this the black hose from the Throttle body to the metal pipe ? If so matey, just measure the internal bore, you can get cheap silicone hoses on ebay for cheap ! Your mate probably priced up the metal Silver pipe thingy!:D

Its the rubber hose that comes off the right hand side of the silver pipe (looking from the front bumper) its a big black 'C' shape, then runs down beside the manifold and connects to the turbo.

pics needed mate.:)

erm, yes pics needed. not sure I know which bit you mean?

I'm lost too, pics would help us to help you:)

You have managed to leave the entire s12 comunity baffled tbh,The only way is some pics,then I'd say I have every pipe spare and in good condition and a lot of others on here will have too.

Lol alrite ill try and get a pic up tomoz then.


M.T

I do believe he means the louvred pipe from the AFM to turbo.

Lol I haven't a clue that mite be right. When I showed parts guy
on the nissan computer he just said it was the turbo inlet
Pipe. Still not had a chance to find my cable for my though.

M.T

yep that sound right. Try Silvia god he will have one. The ones on the Bluebird Turbo are different

I think he means the orange silicone boost pipe to turbo hose, the one he prolly has isn't original, hence why is black - or covered in oil :P

EDIT: that is c-shaped right? been a few years since I've looked :P

Ave got pictures on my fone if I can find my cable ill put em up. Well I know its deffo not orginal pipe because it should be one piece, mines isn't its 2 90degree bends with a connecter in the middle that's where I'm gettin the 'C' shape from. So because it has that connection between the 2 pipes it'll make a sound like a dump valve and pop off. Very Annoying if its pissing with rain and your on the hardshoulder if the m8!
P.S this is a 18et engine I duno if that'll make a diffrence tho. Thanks for thw speedy reply guys :)

If the link works this is the engine bay (obviously).

The silver pipe across the engine bay to the right hand side where you can see the 2 jubilee clips onto a black pipe this is the pipe i need it runs down the side next to the heat shield. Seen in this next link in a bit of a closer view.

I would imagine urs had an intercooler at some point in it's life, it was taken off prior to selling and the boost pipe bodged back together.

So in short, just buy some silicone hose or get a proper boost pipe and elbow pipe of a breaker here :)

Ahhh I see so the whole things a metal pipe that'll be why its
So expensive would a silly c#nt hose be ok pressure wise?
Or would the original part be better?

M.T

The original boost pipe to turbo hose is an orange silicone jobbie and the boost pipe to inlet manifold is rubber so you'll have no issues.

That being said, it is dependant on your metal pipe having a lip at each end for the juby clips to grip behind - without that, if you're on full boost and slam the throttle plate closed, the pipe will blow off and scare any old grannys in the vicinity :P

Thanks man. This has been very helpful. After I fix this
Its on to getting new rad as mine is starting to rot.
Thanks again.
