um...holy s***...you ran a 12.7 at 107??? that's pretty badass. Where the hell have I been!??!? lol. I've been trying to stay off the forums so I don't get mod happy again (like I did with all my previous cars) but you just blew it for me!!!!

damn you and your driver mod!! haha. what track do you go to?

 

[driver311]

firebird in boise, id. 2700ft. car had more in in. Only got 4 runs that day. Was having some serious issues with traction. i could only muster a 1.80 60ft. More to come for sure.

Thats what I've noticed from getting all these parts... I get on the forum, talk about mods, get the mod, and its a slight let down because I was expecting so much...

Though, there are only 2 mods that were right on!!! That was the MS CAI and the TRZ motor mount.

Even if I didnt see a significant increase in performance just from ic, I'll feel alot better as I modify the engine. some security from a cooler intake charge . My ETS will be here next week oh boy!

Which one are you trying out; the hybrid or BPV?
I'm looking at the hybrid myself...but still undecided...

 

[ericrapp]

Awaiting results

Yea it seems logical to tie tuned products together. I'd like to hope manufacturers are linking their products to create a tested package. Or I can just wait for you to do it! thks 311

Yep, I got them from PG!! I haven't received them yet... Should be coming in this week... I'll post the sizes when I get them...

Those stock worm clamps are strong, but I don't trust them on FI applications.

OK, so I finally got to install my boost tubes and t-clamps this weekend!!!

Here are the sizes you need for the t-clamps (t-clamps are open up to their max size with no threads protruding):

TMIC Hotside tube/clamp:

TMIC Coldside tube/clamp:

I took pictures cause the clamps did not have a stamped size on them ((huh) weird), they only had a part number; clamps made by Vibrant.

I hope this helps you guys...

When I was removing the stock clamps, I was surprised on how lightly torqued they were... I had no leaks, but I did notice my boost is a little more solid. Maybe that due to the upgraded hoses not flexing as much as the stockers and/or the combination of the higher clamping force of the t-clamps.

 

[ispypsi]

i'm sure it's been stated but are the boost tubes the stock size? I would assume so if you were using the stockers on your upgraded TMIC for a week or so. i might think about getting the boost tubes since they are rather simple mod and see if they show a difference on a stock car with a boost gauge (and later on ill get the tmic anyways).

 

[AutoXRacer]

What are you exactly asking for? (huh)
Stock size in terms of inner diameter; they have to be to fit...

The pictures in my previous post of the tubes are the stock tubes.

The only difference I saw in terms of performance was that my boost no longer fluctuates in terms of 15.XX...

 

[jbiird317]

im interested in these because I feel like I am getting a small leak in the hot side tubing and would like to have something more stable there...whered you buy these from and about how much?

PG sells them... They have a kit with the tubes and clamps. But you can have Ken order the clamps separately if you prefer.
I've also seen Turbonetics clamps at Summit Racing for about $6-7 bucks or so a pop in all sizes.

hmm, i dont see the kit but i do see the tubes and clamps. I have a good idea what size i need, but ur pics are a little confusing with the tape measure, mind listing the sizes you got so I can be sure? Thanks

 

[AutoXRacer]

Thats why I posted the pictures with the tape measure... I don't know what size they are. The clamps don't have it stamped on it...

I thought if I posted a measurement of the stock tubes and t-clamps, one could estimate the size.

You can always call PG for the sizes...

The pictures of the t-clamps with the tape measure is representing the t-clamp with zero threads protruding. This is the max size they would open.
