Thread: Sitec's 101..

95mm to 76mm 90 degree elbow then 76mm to 60mm reducer 😉

As Buffaroo says, reducers!!! Ebay has loads.. Just type in silicon reducers. I also used a lot of mandrill bent exhaust sections to make up pipes that look original. The intercooler pipework is the same.. It takes a lot of time but its worth it with the finished product... Here's my RH intercooler pipe in the manufacturing (try it and c if it fits) stage!!!!

Remember tho, if you do make any tubes like this, to clean out each welded joint internally before you add the next one!! I dragged several rags thru each and shook a handful of bolts in each tube to remove any swarf before cleaning out with petrol!

Reducer after reducer looks crap though

If my memory serves me right, the turbo is on the left of your engine... Have a 4" to 3" 90 deg reducer coming off the air box facing forward, into a 3" pipe.. Run it to the turbo inlet, ideally at 90 deg to the inlet. Then use a 3" to 2" 90 deg reducer into the turbo. It'll look tidy, especially if u use blue hoses, and spray the pipe up in silver (not a garish galvy silver).. It'll tie in nicely with the orange....

It'll be black or orange silicone and stainless tube

So, fellow 101ers, what are my 6 101 rims wrapped in Michelin 255/100 R16's worth? Two of them r still new.... Im going to go down the 19.5" rim and truck tyre route as I seem to be doing decent kms....

New Michelins are £200-300 each, rims perhaps 50 to 70 each.

Let's say between £1500-£2160 in UK money?

Just looking at the picture I noticed that heavy weight , you should think about tyre beads

I have them in my Iveco and have never driven a smoother vehicle, totally vibration free, and Im running 35" MT's .

I went away from truck tyres because they are very stiff in the sidewalls , you have to run them at too high a pressure, (~100psi) but I run the 35's at 35psi , much better ride & I rarely have to let them down , downside is the MT's only last 35,000km
