Alan h 10 Posted June 26, 2013 The power roar replaces that pipe but its just the rubber connector sizes that I needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted June 26, 2013 Cant remember if it was around 76 / 78mm mark as you need to take into account the difference in size on the throttle body depending if your obd1 or obd2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan h 10 Posted June 26, 2013 Mine is obd1 Pete I have found a place that does like samco style hoses for various items so just needed to no the size ---------- Post added at 4:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 4:48 PM ---------- Just looked on there site and they do 76mm and then next 1 is 80mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 26, 2013 I thought the point of the Power Rohr was that it was a simple swap for the original part, so used the original rubber ends? :shrug: The idea was that it's got much thinner walls than the standard plastic part and so has a bigger internal diameter allowing some more air in through it... (oh, and it that added a bit of "bling" to the bay! :lol: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan h 10 Posted June 26, 2013 Just so people don't get wrong idea of what I'm needing in the image it's the rubber pipe that sits on either end I just need it for the throttle body size as I bought the power rohr off eBay today with no pipe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daxmatt 0 Posted June 26, 2013 I have a draft 42 unit that's the same sort of thing its off the car and the rubbers are 76 mm, I'm in Rotherham aswell so you could come round and check if you like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted June 26, 2013 I thought the point of the Power Rohr was that it was a simple swap for the original part, so used the original rubber ends? :shrug: There aren't any 'original rubber ends', those ones come with the Power Rohr. Either you have a (later) plastic inlet elbow with corrugations around the corners and a flat spot to allow a jubilee clip to fit around it, or you have an early inlet elbow which are rubber throughout. 76mm is about right, I believe it's actually specified as 3". So long as it fits over the MAF and throttle body there's no need to get too hung up on it! Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daxmatt 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Ah right only ten mins away, if you want and they fit you can have the black rubbers for a fiver they have never been used only for the mock up but I'm changing them for blue ones, you could even bring it and fit it, but you would need some big jubilee clips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan h 10 Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah if they fit I will have them then I think I might have some jubilee clips off olf turbo tips and things will avto have a look around should be next week at latest it arrives Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
