Man, I am so tired of looking around at boat shop/diesel shop for some turbo hose to hook my chargepipes together. I went to like 10 different boat stores that sells boat accesories and i cant find one that has wet exhaust hose or turbo hose.

I also checked NAPA. They did not understand what kind of hose i was talking about. So i went online. Ebay auction. But I do not want to pay more than $30 for hoses,

And I check Home depot for couplers. But they dont have my size. I need one that is 2.5" inch in diameter.

 

You should just go behind the counter at the auto parts store and grab a radiator hose that is 2 1/2". Other than that you are going to pay an *** load for silicone hoses on ebay.

probably i should but... Can the radiator hoses hold up to 11 psi? Because that is my goal for now. I'm planning to weld it later on. It is just for temporary.

 

Do i buy the straight radiator hoses? or any radiator hoses that are 2.5 inches?

 

Considering most cooling systems run at 16 lbs. and high heat I would say it would work with no problems.

It depends on what you want to do with the hose regarding straight or angled hose. You could use it for a tight bend or just use it for connecting pipes together.

Wow, the first diesel repair place I went to in my town (------- small) had it. WTF? Time to whip out your phone book and call em' all.
Anyone have any good links to some decently priced online sources?

 

Yeah radiator hose will be fine for charge pipe/ couplings. Actually alot of factory cars came with radiator hose as charge pipes.

 

What do you guys use?

 

I'm using mandrel bent exhaust piping.

 

i mean what hose are you using?
