Tight radius silicone hose required

[jogi730]

Due to the throttle body position on my new intake manifold being so close to the radiator, the only way to plumb the pipework is to have a very tight radius (short leg) silicone hose with a 90 degree bend - 76mm.
The only one I have found on a US site is this;



Can anyone point me to a UK based company that would do something similar?

Many thanks

You'd be better buying a 3" cobra hose won't restrict flow
Only take a week delivery from the US

Sfs in luton can custom wind pretty much anything you want 3,4 or 5ply. All done by their patented machine do real nice windings ask to speak to Lee tell him JP said to speak to him.

haven't ever seen one IRL, but is it usable in boost applications? As Chris won't be using it on the MAF.

Heh, there is 0 chance of it being blown apart by boost it's as hard as nails

I've always used Viper performance for all my hoses and are happy to make anything unusual.

well exactly, I thought it might not seal that well because it's such hard material

[Jamo]

why would it not seal under a jubilee clip? It does directly on a turbo etc
Sounds like a poppycock argument

[quattrostyle]

because the turbo sucks at that point and doesn't blow

[Jamo]

So what? It seals under the pressure of the clip
If this was the case you need special silicone hose for boost and vacuum side of your car

[quattrostyle]

silicon will compress under a jubilee clip. Would a plastic cup do that under a jubilee clip? No it would become oval but not compress.
