Seeking TIP Information

[Gokiwi64]

I have done a fairly intensive search but am unable to find the exact answer I need , so apologies for going over what is probably old ground.

When fitting a TIP there seems to be 2 versions , 1 has an aluminium boss on the end and one doesnt.

Which is the correct for my LCR BAM engine ? and do they come with all the fitting's needed (as in adapters to connect the various pipes and hoses , I understand I will need relevant jubilee clips which I have by the dozens)

I am trying to understand that if I get a TIP what other bits do I need (especially as my rear brake/hand brake repairs came in much cheaper than I was expecting )

I think if you buy the Forge one it'll have what you need so you shouldn't need adaptors etc,

I think you'll need jubillee clips though at the very least

Speak with Bill @ Badger5 as he sells both versions and can advise accordingly. He has his own section on here.

dont buy a forge one, they are small at the turbo end


The one on the left is a badger 5 v3, you can notice the size difference, i think its £140 from bill, or you can get a sfs tip for &120

These are better than the billet adaptor ones, as it's just one jubilee clip holding it onto the turbo, where the billet ones can pop off and need sealing with silicone

Not better than billet v2.2 and the hose does'nt come off if fitted properly
V3 is simpler to fit both v2.2 and V3 give good gains, but the billet original version remains the best flowing with seamless internal flow path.

He would be happy with either, which come with all required Quality JC Clamps required

i have a v1 on mine currently bill, is it worth upgrading to v2.2 or v3?

 

[Rickycupra]

Bugger, that is quite a difference actually. All hoses on mine are forge.

definately change the forge

V1 was 3" outside dimension, they are all now 80mm Inside dimension which is a decent upsize in cross sectional area for flow

I doubt you will see the same gains again as it did over std or normal sized tips, but they are the highest flowing ones now.

Thanks for all the help and hints folks, I have asked Bill for a price ...my rotten exhaust will have to wait or fall off first !!

Steer clear of the forge. When I got my LCR mapped my power curve stopped dead at 255bhp because the TIP was limiting boost. I was told to get a badger5 TIP and then the curve would continue to around 280bhp without even changing the map again. I was surprised how much of a difference it made when I put it on....

Seems like its either the Ramair (SFS)sold one

or the Creation one

http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/product-detail.php?pid=421

The Creation one has more length where it connect to the turbo and so might be easier to fit and clamp.

SFS seem to get good reviews.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm decisions decisions
