im after some kinda piping suitable for the inlet to come from the maf to the inlet, will need two 90 degree angles forming an S shape, however i may be willing to have it hold the filter pointing away form the engine towards the radiator at an angle if, and will then be joined using silicon hoses to the maf and inlet

id pefere something steel or anything else that i can mig weld to make the shape, or something thats already suited for the engine bay


anyone have any suggestions what to use and where to get it


pic of the pipe ill be replacing


thanks Jon

hi mate
i wouldnt use anything made of steel as it may rust inside!
and this could put crap in2 ur engine!

[jonyb4]

hmm, but you need water and salt to rust, so with reason you shouldnt get water down that inlet pipe, if you did it would damage your engine, so shoudlnt rust

what is the ones in other cars made off? alloy? stainless

[duk2]

hi most r s/steel or alloy
my mate got a bit of alloy scaffold as its the perfect size and just needed a little clean up! looks good tho cos he painted it black so ud never no it was once a bit of a alloy tower

[duk2]

ul get rust if u weld it tho!

[jonyb4]

it can be treated with rust proofing and paint

well what other metals can a MiG weld? im not too sure i know steel and iron

[duk2]

unless ur a spork hot welder i wouldnt weld it as it mite look rough! some t2 turbo samcos (the 1 that comes off the turbo that goes 2 the intercooler) would look better with some alloy piping!

[jonyb4]

hmm

what they go for?

[dangerousdave]

looking at that picture you want 2 45degree elbos and 2 straight bits or alloy to the required size and about 5-6 jubilee clips, job done!

mig can only weld steel for st steel you need a tig welder for alloy you need a ac/dc current tig welder

[jonyb4]

so anythingthat contains steel a mig can weld?

tin contains steel/iron, so thats on he table?

and i see what you mean with the elbows, surely its one 45 and one 90?

[dangerousdave]

sorry buddy i mean 2 90 degree ones and some straight pipe or do this like this lad is selling now
