home made heat exchangers?

[Cheeky V]

Update, been pretty slow this week with lots of other things going on, made my first bend in some 1.5 inch pipe and made up the first rear bracket out of 5mm plate







will be widening the holes as per OEM, just waiting for the bits to arrive so I can do that and make the brackets for the other end

The silicone is easy to route around the drive shafts and fits the outlet on the heat exchanger with a bit of persuasion. With it fitted I get +60'C out of the windscreen vents after 20 minutes driving.

Hi Boxy what size and where did you get the silicone hosing from?
Cheers

The ducting is 63mm ID single ply silicone ducting. I got it from a company I used to work for but there's a few ebay sellers listing it.
Here's one:

Hi Boxy, what length of tubing was used for each side and did you insulate any of it ?

Thanks

Didn't bother insulating it, just used it as is. I can't remember how much I bought, but 2-3 mtrs is probably enough depending on how you route it.
