rubber air intake hoses

[marcus1970]

Anyone know where to get these from?

Mine have seen better days and I would like to buy some new ones.

Internal diammeter 90mm.

However, the length differs from side to side. The n/s is longer than the o/s.

All info appreciated.

Hi Marcus

I purchased a full set of intake hoses from TVR Power in Coventry in March. At the time Dom said he'd got plenty of them in stock. Drop him a line, he's very helpfull and will probably sort you out. Mine were brown at the engine end enough to spoil the under bonnet view, the rearmost one also had a small hole.

Quite why your n/s hoses are longer than your o/s ones I don't know. I was lead to believe that intake length from trumpet to inlet valve is very important and should be equal across all 8 cylinders. Have the o/s ones been cut down because the ends have split at some point?

TVR Power is on 02476 366177 or [e-mail]

All fixed now though.



Regards
Simon.

Sorry, I meant the black ones on the right of your picture.

Wish my engine bay looked like this.

Simon,



What colour is your car? It looks great with the Portland(?) interior.

Moonraker black, I suspect, like mine...

Not sure where you'd get the originals from, but I think ali heat ducting (B&Q etc.) comes in this size for that 'robbie the robot' look.

They are a custom part for TVR's and last time I looked they cost anout £40 each, sounds good at first but there are 8 of the ba$tard$ - !!

Robby the Robot...excellent

Yes Morebeanz, it's Moonraker Black like yours and IMHO dark cars look best with light leather and vice versa.

Anyway, back to the original question.

Somewhere must sell them ready made and ready to go?

ACT were talking about making a direct replacement for them, if you didn’t want to go for the short pipe/ remap route (if you are look on the TCS web site). Give Tim a ring see if he has finished them, he was having trouble getting the tooling right for the differing end sizes.

Sorry all...

I'm after the black rubber hoses that go from the front of the car to the two air boxes.

Cheers

I'm sure Tim at Act could help you out with the two pipe you require. Drop them an email and let everyone know if you have any luck.
