Default Ducting on supercharger??

Guys,

What is the proper name for the ducting that runs from the back of the blower to the filter??? I need to replace mine but I don't know what it is called to search anywhere for it??

Thanks,
Jonny

You mean the flexible hose that attaches to the rear of the blower then curves around and attaches to the air cleaner?

















NO IDEA

Basically it is flexible ducting.

I know in racing circles it can be used as a cooling hose for brake ducting.

Racers also can use it for intake or channeling air to the driver from a side window intake.


I would go to a racing supply shop or online racing parts supplier and look up brake hose ducting or something like that.

Maybe RMM might be nice to you if you contact them and tell them your situation. Tthey might be able to get you some. A shop like that should have it in stock.

I can get it locally if you have no luck.

Jonny

Hey man,

It is not the hose that connects 2 parts of the IC piping. It is a duct looking hose that comes from the back of the blower, and wraps around the bottom into a "C" shape and then attaches to the filter. It is an accordian style hose - needs to have a 3.5" diamater.

Thanks man,
jonny

Somehow I knew you'd ask.

Measure the blower diameter. Are you sure it is 3.5" in not 3".

This is what I found:

I need to check but I am 99% sure it is 3.5" which I didn't see on that link. I didn't think it would be so difficult to find!!

Thanks man,
Jonny

nope. just spoke to eric at rmm. he says it's just a plain air duct hose you can get at any race shop. he thinks it's 3.5". the hump hose is the funky looking coupler for the intercooler piping.

I called them and left a message and no-one ever called me back The amount of RMM things I have on my car - you would think I could at least get a call back!!

I knew it was 3.5"

Now if only we had race shops here!!

Anyone wanna help a brother out?

just order from summit racing. rmm is not too keen on returning phone calls because they're always busy with their other projects. they had me waiting forever to try and print the parts list for the sc kit.
