DIY intercooler piping
Anyone do their own i/c piping. I have most of the parts.. but I ran into 1 problem. I bought my intercooler, all the piping, mounting hardware and I'm going to get the couplers for them. My question is, where can I get a pipe for the IACV hose? (this is going on a 240sx with SR20DET) The IACV hose is 3/4". I'm going to bring it to a muffler shop to get the pipes I bought welded together along with the IACV pipe, just need to know where to get it.
The IACV pipe is the 3/4" curved ***** looking thing on the top left pipe pictured above.
BTW I've only found silicone couplers at http://www.atpturbo.com. I need 3 transition couplers and they're $17.50 each! So a total of about $75 (including straight connectors) for all the coupler alone! Anyone know of another place that I can get them from cheaper? Maybe just regular rubber ones.
TIA
PS don't tell me to post on a Nissan board H-T folks are so much nicer

Re: DIY intercooler piping (SRd240sx)
go to home depot and you can purcahse steel tubes and get it welded on.
i did this on a local guys car
jsut grab some heater hose for the iaCV and you're cool
as for silicone hoses. ATP is MAD cheap.
you can always go and buy a stick of the silicone stuff for cheaper i guess. but pay a buck or two more and you get new ons that were cleanly clut. i go to ATP for all my silicone needs. anywhere else you'd see a hugr price difference.
