intake couplers...

[crazyoldcougar]

i did search and only came up with two places i could get these in colours...i was just wondering if anyone could add to the list so that i may have more options...

NOPI auto parts
INJEN online has some too...
Autozone <---none of these in Canada though (not here anyway)

any others?

i am sure there are other people out there wondering the same thing too...

[ZetecNinja]

damn, I was gonna say autozone

try looking on sites that sell turbo parts

the only thing is they want an arm & a leg for these damn things...

Rubber radiator hose. Avaliable in only black, but you can get them at most auto stores and cost a 1/4 or less what those silicone couplers cost.

[crazyoldcougar]

yeah i was thinking that too...(rad hose thing)

i was also wondering if the intake manufacturers would sell replacement couplers? i am sure they get damaged from time to time....i will have to try to contact weapon R and see what they say..

yeah i checked out some turbo sites and damn they want like 70 bucks for a 90* 2.75" elbow....nearly pooped my pants wheni saw that...hehe.

I think HKS offers a bunch in different colors

[ButtonPuncher]

Here are the sites that I know of, most have red, blue, yellow, and black...

http://www.bakerprecision.com/purosil5.htm <--Where I got most of my stuff

http://www.turbohoses.com/ <--Expensive, but great selection

http://www.ssautochrome.com/level.itml/icOid/1064 <--Plain silicone couplers and reducers, pretty cheap

http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/ipa.html <-- Just a few parts, good prices

http://hosetechniques.com/ <--Complete kits

Good list, ButtonPuncher. I've dealt with JGS Tools, Hose Techniques and TurboHoses.com myself - all good recommendations.

Also, check out;
Overboost.com (http://www.overboost.com)
and
NeedBoost.com (http://www.needboost.com)

Cool, thanks.


I'd like to thank you for those two links. If I had done my intake in Red and Black, I could have saved myself some major cash. :banghead:

I haven't added it up yet , but I'm guessing that all of the parts for my Contour CAI were around $300. Doh!


Later,
Ben

[crazyoldcougar]

wow thanx for the links guys.......that only took a couple months.....hehehe j/k

[HKSCougar]

Yeah, I just realized that. Stupid military keeps me away for too long at a time, then I get to do a bunch of posts, then I have to leave again. Oh, for want of a civilian, normal job...

[ButtonPuncher]

Yeah, I don't browse these forums that often either. I like to visit the various Zetec Forums from time to time to see what other people are doing.

BTW, I had posted those links in the CEG (http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=) FI forum a couple/three weeks ago. ;)

Later,
