owen g60 10 Posted February 27, 2014 They're not a bad kit. I ran one for about a year before switching to a golf u bend. Maybe check if OCD have anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted February 27, 2014 You don't happen to still have your old one do you? OCD are selling the BBM for £190, but I think that is a bit much. For what it actually is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sankysvr6 0 Posted February 27, 2014 That is true sparks :-) This is going to be a long shot, can anyone lend me a proper RSR to take measurements off, so I can have a look at making my own. Or could some supply all the measurements if I was to provide a rough sketch of the dimensions I need. thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60 CS 0 Posted February 27, 2014 I have a BBM one but the bolts missing, no biggie will only cost a couple of quid for a bolt, comes with red silicone hose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted February 27, 2014 Well I've got supply of alloy and also access to CNC and milling machines. So it's just case of my time and effort. Also got support of some highly skilled engineers. I also like a bit of challenge, lol Sparks, if it's easy enough for you to supply the measurements it would be really appreciated. G60CS, are you selling the one you have? Or is there any chance I could loan it for a few days. Will cover all postage cost and would be happy to pay deposit for you to refund once I send it back to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riley 0 Posted February 28, 2014 Are you running the standard intercooler? If so then the bbm style/type in your first post will be fine. You won't be wanting a u-bend unless your running a fmic with the inlet on the drivers side. Although the bbm style can be used with both standard intercooler or fmic.

clumpy1 11 Posted February 28, 2014 Listen to this guy ^^^^^^^^^^ He know's his G60's that's for sure :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt@OCD 0 Posted February 28, 2014 No it was more down to the fact that making one as a one off for yourself will cost a lot more, fair enough having access to raw material and machines but not everyone has that. I'm sure in the hours it takes out of your life doing so you could probably earn enough to just buy one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Matt, I just wanted to try and make one as a bit of challenge to me. I could buy one but where is the fun in that At the end of the day, the way I see it it's just a bit of aluminium with hole in it. It doesn't look very complex in design, there is no moving part in it. It's just letting pressurised air pass through it. Maybe I'm wrong and there is more to it. The thing is I can mess about with this sat at work, if it starts to get to much I can just scrap the whole idea, or come back to it at a later date. Not sure how I can try and use my time and effort to earn more money, unless I go get a weekend job. But surely that would take more time and effort, that I don't want to give. Lol If I don't get the measurements I will probably just end up buying one. Riley, I'm just using the standard intercooler at present but who knows In future. But thanks for the advice Edited March 1, 2014 by sankysvr6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
