: Turbo Silicone Hose Group Buy (potential)?
SERprise In WV 03-02-2002, 03:25 PM Hey, gang--
Well, here I am again with another possible group buy. I can get Purosil silicone connector hose in 3-foot lengths, only in size 2.5 inches, in a small quantity.
What I am doing here is gauging interest from you all in buying 3-foot lengths of this for your turbo/intercooler connectors.
Here's is the Purosil website: http://www.purosil.com/purosil_70series.html
This hose is the 70-250, retail price of $23.93 per foot, $71.29 for three feet, retail.
Here's a pic I swiped from an auction on eBay:

IF I could offer up these 3-foot sections of 2.5-inch (only) Purosil at $55.00 shipped to your door, would you be interested? I can get my hands on 20 of these right now, maybe a few more if need be. This would be a one-time affair.
Let me know your thoughts, and if you, personally, would like to get in on this if it goes down. I'll take your thoughts for a couple days, then see if we can make this happen.
Thanks for your input!
domiguy 03-02-2002, 07:23 PM I would be down, this looks like a good deal for silicon hose... and I might be need plenty of it trying to adapt b13 intercooler piping to my b14
Jose...
SERprise In WV 03-02-2002, 08:23 PM Jose is the first to step up to the plate! How many you think you'll need, Jose, of the 3-ft sticks? Just checking.
Anybody else? Keeping this up at the tippy-tippy-top-top. :)

domiguy 03-02-2002, 09:09 PM I was hoping just one. Do you think I would need more than one? How many do you think you'll need [since I know both of us are going the same route, bb turbo on our stock de's]. Maybe I'll get two just in case.
SE-Rican 03-02-2002, 09:33 PM I may need one. I am also curious on how many I would need. I am going to front mount the BB intercooler!

When would the deal go down?
I might be interested(just 1 3ft section for me though)

I plan on cutting it up into 4-inch connectors. So...quick math...you can get 9 connectors per 3-foot length of hose. I would imagine that's enough to do just about any IC piping layout you can imagine.

Bring it, my friend. :)
ProjNX2000--
Quick and easy. I'd like to do it within a week. I have to basically buy 20 sticks of this stuff. I'd like to have 1/2 of those (10) sold before going any further with this. I cannot fathom being stuck with 10+ sticks of 2.5-inch silicone hose.

domiguy 03-02-2002, 10:14 PM would 2.5 inch piping be good enough, even if I upgrade my turbo (to a t3/4 maybe) becuase I want to make sure that everything else I buy would be compatible with a larger turbo... thanks
PSSSHHHGOESMYSR20 03-03-2002, 01:03 PM Well no matter what size Intercooler piping you have you have to realise it is going into one hole the trottle body, So 2.5 is perfect for what you need untill you get a larger TB. Also Yes one 3ft stick is good enough as well.

SERprise In WV 03-03-2002, 09:33 PM Gotcha', Art. Right now (Sunday night), we have 6 commitments. A few more, and we can make this happen. :)

I'd like a stick, what color is it?? can we choose??
SERprise In WV 03-05-2002, 09:16 AM Jason--
It is blue with the fluorescent red liner, as the pictures in the first post up top show. Sorry, that's the only color.
I just got a stick of it in the mail, and the blue is really a muted blue. It looks just fine, IMHO.

AntonioG 03-05-2002, 09:50 AM Count me in!
Projnx2000 03-08-2002, 02:44 AM Greg,
Is this deal still going on. I'm definately in, let me know.
Thanks,
Chris

I just emailed my supplier, and asked if we could do this quantity: 7. We were hoping for 10+ quantity to be sold, so I'll just have to see if he still wants to do this or not. He probably will. 100% of 7 is still better than 100% of 0. :)
When he emails me back, I'll post it up here. If it's still a 'go', I'll also post details. Chances are, we'll just have everybody pay me, and I'll pay him and he will ship these directly to you. That's the easiest way I can think of.
Stay tuned.
