When I took off my FAST 90mm TB recently, I had a segment of metal, expandable, flexible dryer duct (yes, the appliance) left over from my recent washer/dryer hookup. I looked at it and noticed it's 4" in diameter. Hmmmm......



I've driven to work with it on today and it works fine. I won't keep it on, but for anyone who needs an emergency fix, this can get you around for a little bit.

The 4" to 3.5" silicone bellows is the proper bellows, and that's what I'm sticking with.

yea...thats kinda funny. you should post that up in the ricer forums, it'll be the new fad. and yea...i'm gonna have to vote for the painting of the intake as well lol.

I'll be rich!!!
As for the intake, I agree the gray is dull, but I'm not too worried about bling.

Oh, I just posted this up in case anyone was doing their swap and didn't have a 3.5" to 4" silicone bellows laying around (and they needed desperately to drive the car for whatever reason). Home Depot has plenty 4" duct.

Does it require a lint trap?

SouthFL.02.SS Does that fit the 90MM TB and the 85MM MAF?

SouthFL.02.SS

Yes, one must slice a few cuts into both ends of the duct, so it could crimp down a bit on the MAF side, and expand on the TB side. The slices are well beyond the airway, and are located under the band clamps.
I really posted this up as a temporary bellows option. Please don't use this as your full time bellows.

I have asked several times what are people using to connect the 90mmTB to a 85mm MAF .

I know people are doing this and I am ready to install. I also plan to install the 90mm Billit ring from Nitro Daves. So how am I suppose to make all this stuff work?

SouthFL.02.SS

Just get the correct silicone bellows and trim it down to the length you need.
You may need to experiment a bit, but it shouldn't be a huge deal.

That's to funny it's almost like asking if the Fernco hose require's a plunger.

I know it's temporary, but I'm curious whether you have tried WOT with that thing. Would it withstand the vacuum?

SouthFL.02.SS

I thought about that last night.
It is the rigid kind, not the foil kind, so it does have some structural integrity to it. I have done WOT a few times, but again, I state, this thing is coming off tonight in favor of the proven silicone. I wouldn't use this thing to hotlap at the local drag strip, but for around town driving on a temporary basis, it seems ok.
