Turbo Intake Hose Hump (coupler) Dimensions ???

[ctappan94]

Hey guys,

Mine cracked wide open so I need a new one. I'd rather not spend 40+ dollars on it ... http://www.tnjmurray.com/militaryve...338/catid/3F188FFF-F448-5729-D4BA2838D92E9730

So does anyone know the dimensions?

I believe it's reduced from 4" to 3.5" or some variation thereof.

and if you have the dimensions from the intake pipe to the turbo itself (the coupling), that'd be incredibly helpful too. I can't measure my own because they literally are THAT dry rotted..

I would recommend removing what's left of your hoses and measure the outer diameter of all of the connection points, which will also give you an over-estimate of the size of hose (internal diameter) that will fit properly. Generally, hoses should go on just a bit snug. I think you'll find that for all of the extra time and energy, plus the potential of not being assured of a clean fix; you're likely better off buying it for the surplus guys and forgetting about it for another 25 years or so.

So, let me get this straight......you have a truck with the parts that need new hose.......you have a tape measure.......WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!?!

I'm not trying to be a smart A-- but you asked the question......you find it easier to just sit and type asking someone else to measure the pipes for you?

Just cause I am that kind of a NICE guy, I walked out for you and measured the same S--T you could have.......the air cleaner side is 3 1/2" reduced to 3" for the pipe.......the other end of the pipe at the turbo is 2 3/4"(both sides)...........

Now try not to strain yourself sitting there and shopping for the hose you need.........I have built a few turbo cars and made many custom intakes and can tell you....the $30 they want for the right hose isn't that bad.....it is a reducer after all.

If you want to be cheap, go to Lowe's, Ace, or Home Depot and buy a fernco coupling for sewer pipe.

friend, if you cannot afford that hose, you cannot afford to own the truck.

This new thing called the internet is awesome.

I simply typed in the part number and hose, and found it available for less than $13(in 2 minutes or less). http://saturnsurplus.com/m35/m35-98.html

Am I the only one that knows about the internet?

Can I have dibs on putting your Elvis toast on eBay? Likely worth a mint! Yust kidding, everyone knows it would have to be Justin Beeber to be worth much nowadays...
