Hi,

Dose anyone know of somewhere/someone local to Stoke-on-Trent that can fabricate me a custom boost hose made of 70mm alloy pipe will need multiple bends and I also need 4 ports on it and swaged ends spoke to a couple of local engineering firms but so far no joy.


Thanks

Crazycage might be the man, but his is in merseyside.

Dyno Torque will do it for you in Tysley Birmingham mate.

Having someone to come to you with welding/fabrication equipment is a huge ask.

Ye when I said Dyno Torque will do it I mean if you take the car to them that is, if your after someone to come to you I think you'll struggle.

Don't need to come to me with equipment just mock it up then take it away to cut/weild was looking at getting all the pipe my self and mock it up then just take it to be weilded but knowing my luck would do something wrong.

From a cost and simplicity point of view, doing the mock up yourself will be best.

Even just tape the sections together.

The tape can be cut marked and the piece tacked together. You could then take it back, try again and see if all is well before final welding.

Depending on the size of tubing etc...

Buying one of these kits off egay really is a good value way of getting all the metal parts you need to make boost pipes.

I basically made an entire twin turbo to IC, using one of these kits ( my kit was actually £60 or so LOL )
They really are a bargain. The silicone isnt great but it does work fine. The hose clamps will be crap though.

That's a really good idea buying a kit rather than.trying to figure what pipes I need. I going to use 70mm pipe what will be best to cut the pipe

Thanks

70mm would be an uncommon size, doubt you'd find one of the cheap pipe kits in that size.

Use either 63mm ( 2.5" ) or 76mm ( 3" )

2.5" will support a lot of power, so unless there is a huge amount of bends or you're beyond 5-600hp....not really much point using larger.

Just use one of the hose clamps nipped around the alloy for a marker, then cut either with hacksaw or thin disc in an angle grinder.
Use a flap wheel in a grinder to remove any excess or trim down so the cut is true.

Flap wheels are great at removing metal, so go easy.

Thanks ill get a reducer and Go for 2.5"

thanks for all the input iv mocked it all up just need a company to wield it now

Perhaps just the pic, but it looks like there's a fair size gap between those two straight sections

crazycage

If can't find anyone local to you I'd have no problem helping you out.

Thank got it all wielded up cost more than I was expecting at £50 but pleased its done

sorry about the poor picture


not 100% happy or perfect but a nice improvement over the old one.

will probably get another one done next year before the shows as I know its going to bug me but at least it will work for now.
