slick Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Everything I found is a 4" length. Just get the 1.75 x 4 and tell him to make it fit, or he's worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach 5 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 just make sure it doesn't have an inner weave or remove it from the new flex because it will deteriorate. My just got sucked through the turbo but I had no damage I think it went through the wastegate so maybe I got luck but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Most people use the 1.75 x 4'' flexes in their repairs... just make sure it doesn't have an inner weave or remove it from the new flex because it will deteriorate. My just got sucked through the turbo but I had no damage I think it went through the wastegate so maybe I got luck but still What brand flex were you using?

Mach 5 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 what happened to my x over.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 FWIW, Jeff M. used to use flexes on his x-overs that had an inner locking style liner inside instead of the braided style. You can see some pictures of the inner locking liner type here: http://www.verociousmotorsports.com/Shop-by-Category/Flex-Couplings/Vibrant-Performance-Stainless-Steel-Flexible-Coupling ^I have no clue about the quality of those flexes, I just came across the pictures showing the different style liners.

Andrew Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 You might PM Shantz aka GOT2BGM. I know he bought the jig to repair these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
