I was checking all my hoses, and this is the clamp connecting the charge pipe and the turbo:







It was too close to the manifold and fried it. Any ideas on what kind of clamp I should use instead? I need something that won't get burnt up like this one.

 

Not sure where you can get these, but they have a metal sleeve over the hose -should protect it from heat. Try a heavy truck/machinery shop.

 

Or you could use silicone tubing which won't burn or catch fire no matter what you do. Rejects heat internally as well.

looks like one of those spectra radiator hose wanna be stainless steel braided cover sets. they coem with the " ends" like that

 

i would invest in some wraps

 

Well, I just got some more basic hose from a local shop for temp use:





I know the same **** is gonna happen, but it should hold for a while. I'm gonna go and try to find something better in the next few days.

 

if that's gaseline hose...that stuff should hold for a LONG time.

Im running 10psi, and it's sitting RIGHT next to the ehxaust manifold. It has worked GREAT so far.

 

i would suggest putting a piece of heatwrap in between the hose clamps and the hose on the side where it is close to the manifold.

 

why dont you get the ninety welded to the housing?

I was gona say you can always clock the turbo

 

maake a heat sheild for it.. it wouldnt be hard..

 

Holy boost leak batman..

Try making a heat shield out of sheet alumnium..

 

Try leaving it as it is first If it aint broke dont fix it. (he used a new pipe)

Maybe i'm thinking too baller-ish here, but what about V-band's?

 

If you have some spare exhaust heat wrap you should just wrap the coupling with it. I think either the fiberglass stuff or the shiny stuff would work fine!

Well that's what I did. I had to go to the shop today, so while I was there I had them make a little sheild for it:







I think this should hold. Runs sooooo much better know that it's fixed. Thanks for the help, I let you guys know if the sheild works.

 

nice turbo set up

 

does anyone else have a sheild like this? Any pics?

 

bump

 

i use hoses from atpturbo.com and the heat had no effect at all. my setup was almost just like yours..

 

Should have used silicon couplers. Silicon can take tremendous heat. Heatshield, wrap, etc... is just too messy.

 

Try wraping the manifold and rubber with header wrap or make a heat shield.
