Afternoon all. 

 

Ive just finished installing my EGR delete. The 90 degree elbow boost pipe is on the new egr tight but i would like it to a bit further onto the pipe for extra security with the hose clamp. 

 

Anyway, the plan is to buy a new silicone 90 degree hose that will be a bit longer to fit on to the EGR but i still have the standard long pipe going towards the standard intercooler. Is there anyone who makes pipes that will fit onto an aftermarket silicone pipe (on the 90 degree side) and then into the standard pipe intercooler side. Or is there any other way of me doing it?

 

Below is the pic of pipes and you can see that the 90 degree boost pipe is just about on the EGR so you wil see what I mean.

 

Also, does anyone know the item code number for the injector wiring loom O-ring seal as there seems to still be a leak on the right hand side of the engine coming from around the tandem pump and the injector loom. Ive already changed the tandem pump gasket which it did seem like it was leaking, but there is still a leak dripping onto the top of the bell housing......

 

Any help is appreciated thanks!

 

Is the leak from the tandem pump area diesel ?

No definitely engine oil. I've heard of some people having trouble when tightening up the bolts for the tandem pump and it pinching the new gasket too tight and causing another leak even with the new gasket.  

As you've already got an egr delete just replace the top boost pipes. Search for "DIY top boost pipes" and you'll find a guide on here telling you everything you need to know.

The only thing to double check is the OD of your delete so you get the right size reducer.

tyhanks for reply mate, that has really helped as that is exactly the kind of pipe work im looking to get....I have 2 questions im hoping you can help with...

 

1. Will i be able to use the same pipe work when I get a new FMIC, and...

2. Im confused where the OP of the diy boost pipe thread says that if you have an EGR delete already fitted, you only need the "type D coupler" to connect the 45 degree silicone hose to the intercooler, yet the 45 degree hose he says to get has a '51mm internal bore'.....and the type D coupler is as stated on the ebay page....

Type “D”  

64mm clip side outside diameter (o.d) male coupling, suitable for a 61mm internal diameter (i.d) hose.

 

Suitable for a 61mm internal diameter hose...surely he has mistyped this? and what coupler should i actually have to get?

Think I was confused too, send me the link.

As for your first question, you might have to change the 45pipe but will depend on the od and type of fmic you buy. Either way you'll be able to sell on the coupler and 45 on here if you find you don't need em.

Thanks for the reply mate.

That is the link for the coupler, it seems more than likely that the DIY poster meant to say 'you only need a type A coupler'. One side to fit into the 45 degree silicone hose with an ID or 51mm, and then the other side to fit into the SDIC, which im assuming is 60mm. 

Sorry I meant for the guide, had just driven 4 hours and and was feeling lazy

Just had a look. Yeh I think he got his 'types'mixed up as he calls it the 'smaller' coupler.

Also, if you draw it out you see the coupler onto the intercooler uses a 51mm pipe.

For the avoidance of doubt you could measure your egr, but I'm pretty sure it's the smaller type A. No acceptance of blame though!
