Pictures and samples of 3b intake hoses

[s2driveruk]

Hi,

On the basis that the Samco (ABY) group buy is still a month or two away form being delivered/tested and us poor 3B owners will no doubt need to wait a fair while before getting upgrades - I thought I would get a quote and timetable from SFS performance hoses. (www.sfsperformance.co.uk)

They are more than happy to quote providing we can get some drawings or better still some samples/photos back to them

Does anyone have images of any 3b hoses/photos sitting around that they can send me so i can kick this off.

I will have a sample available of the maf to turbo hose from Monday as i have a stock replacement arriving but the quicker we can get them actuals or images the sooner we can get a quote.

Also for an idea on potential number, a quick hands up would be good to see if this is viable......

Cheers,

David

.....no body else interested in speeding up a group purchase on 3b hoses then???:eek2: :wacked: ops:

David, when 3B hoses problem was pointed out I sent a jpg of the 3B vs ABY hoses in the older Yahoo forum.
I'll attach it here.

Anyway I also sent part of the 3B hoses (the ones still missing for having a full set available) to Paul N.

P.S. to latter post:

My personal toughts are reported on the jpg. What I mean is that if I had the need to change hoses on a 3B, and since it seems there are some problems on kits availability, I would have found a good way to fit ABY ones.

Hi,

Yep thats true you 'could' make then fit i guess but the angles of the aby v 3b hoses look different and you wouldn't want any kinking happening where you try to line up i'd guess as it disturbs the airflow and could potentially collapse the pipe in extreme cases.

Thanks fot the picture though - spot on!

David, I don't think you'll ever have angle problems. I have both 3B and ABY full engines (and partial from ADU). Turbocharger position is of course the same as much as intercooler and metal duct to throttle. I cannot be 100% sure at the moment (would need to check personally) but I don't think MAF position is different as well, but since hose connecting MAF to TURBO will never work under pressure (at least some 0.1-0.2 bar vacuum) there is no reason to be worried about.
If of any interest to somebody, I could check 3B to ABY airbox dimensional differences to look for some evident differences in MAF position.

I have the larger turbo, and have bought a MAF to Turbo hose from Dialynx. Two sections of silicone hose and an ally pipe in the middle, you just trim the hoses down to fit. Sweet, will take pics of it soon. Not got round to fitting it yet.

Dave and Co - I have a complete set of 3B hoses that I can get to the boys at SFS for a quote. This should speed things up a treat. I spoke to Jim Slevin about this as they are quite keen...

Cheers,

Paul

P.S Official GP announcement to come after we get quotes for quantities.

Top man Paul,

Yeah i'll dig out the contact details for the guy there i have spoken to a couple of times but i thought that way they could be done in parallel then.

Cheers,

David
