Hey guys

I just aquired a samco TB hose from J's Racing and want to know if I can stretch it slightly to go over the BDL 72mm TB??

Im guessing warming it up and lubing the TB will help, but is there a technique for stretching it slightly??

Thanks in advance, will post some pics when done

 

bump for help please

 

whats the ID of the BDL throttle body?

 

72mm

 

id say get a blow dryer and heat it up alittle bit, lube the inside and jsut try to stretch it over, it should hurt it at all.

worst case scenario you can sell the hose...

 

I'll take a look later today and see if I think its doable . A little bit of wd40 might help work it on too

 

thanks guys, if not, I'll put the spoon TB on and sell the BDL

 

It's hard to stretch the Samco hoses since it's probably the 3 layer ones. Maybe a tail pipe expander would help.

 

am i missing the obvious thing here

surely if you've opened things up to that diameter, you want everything, excuse the phrase, feeding it, to be the same diameter, surely, to make the most of all that work.

or have a missed the plot completely?
