Buschur FMIC coupler & clamp question?

[turbotsi92]

I just bought a Buschur Racing FMIC kit from a guy used. He only had the core, and the piping. I would really appreciate it if someone who has this could pm me or reply to me here, and tell me how many couplers I need, and the sizes. Jarrod at Buschur told me I need 11 t bolt clamps, but wouldn't tell me how many couplers and reducers I need. I know this is askng alot, but if someone could help me out it would be very appreciated. Thanks

Looks to me like (5) 2.5" Couplers and a reducer to adapt the LIC to your Turbo Outlet.
Prol cheeper to just buy a section of hose (by the inch) instead of individual couplers.

My original 2.5" hose came from NAPA (Bellowflex) which is pretty thick reinforced rubber. I've since swicked to silicone which I picked up locally from Vertex (though they now sell thru eBay).

Hightemp Silicone also sells thru eBay and bought some reducers from them (those things are THICK).

What would you cut the hose with to give nice edges that were not all tore up?

they wouldn't tell you? wtf? They do sell the plumbing kit separately, he was probably trying to make a sale.

Use a hose clamp as a guide and cut with a boxcutter.

BTW.. if you do decide on using silicone.. opt for the T-Bolt clamps as the worm-gear clamps will cut into the silicone.

If you want to just buy the silicone extreme has them pretty cheap.

Also napa has the t bolt clamps cheap you need 2.75 min diameter.

Here is the link for the nice clamps from NAPA.

This place is awesome! They sell 4ply silicone hose 2.5" ID for 1.61 an inch. I got 20 inches for 32.20. Great deal thanks DSM90AWD. As for the hose clamps I ordered the heavy duty worm clamps from RRE. do you think they will tear up the silicone? I hope not because they are on the way.
