the stock dsm turbo pipings are like like rubber hoses..kinda looks like radiator hose..but bigger and thicker..do you think its ok to use? its going on a garret t3 with a z6 block, y8 head..in a 90 hatch.

 

no one does? or have seen em?

 

Should work ok.

 

piping diameter is about 1.75"..kinda small..what size piping should i go for?

 

I use cut up dsm and probe pipes.

 

does it work fine?

it was cheap and ugly, its not as ugly as some of the other methods. I've been using it for along time. I have a leak, but its not due to the pipes its my connections.

I use it , works for me
its about 2-2.25"
the reason DSMers get rid of it for hard piping is becuase it expands. but yea it gets the job done, I still use like 65% of the stock piping. you'll gain more power with hard piping though

ahhh ok..so it works fine with 7psi right? anything more will blow up like balloons?

 

On my old set up I used rad. hose and metal pipe. Worked fine.

 

wow..rad hose works too?

 

I did with my last setup on my teg...it worked fine.

 

Yea, they're made for pressure and heat...worked perfect on my last set up and I'll probably use the old ones again until I replace little by little with metal.

 

so how are you guys connecting these hoses together? with little steel pipe pieces?

 

Yea, just misc. pieces of exhaust piping in between. It was half metal piping and half rad hose.

I run 16psi(T28) on mine
you'll be fine at 7

 

which kind of rubber is it ? wil any do ? can anyone post pic up ?

 

Half of my piping is made up from large diameter radiator hose.
Its rated at well over 30psi, and wont expand or "baloon" at all.
Very strong stuff.

 

how much was it ? sorry to jack your post.where did you get it and how much boost you running

 

what diameter should it be?

anyone got some pix?! i wanna see how it looks like..is it rubber hose all the way around to the IM?

Big pic, but I don't know how to resize it. This is my old set up...I'll probably use it again

 

crap, I see it doesn't show much of the piping, LOL. You can see it start right there on the left. I have the charge piping laying in my room and if you guys really want a pic I can take one.

 

I ran 19 psi on my DSM with radiator hose and and random tubing that looks like the stuff in the pic above, so it should handle most applications.
