Intake Diameter

[hawk77]

I am trying to install a pod filter on my Lexus IS200 and I came accross to some really cheap silicone tubes. i have a 3" pipe that I am going to be using to have the same setup as Aztecbandit (before he went to supercharger route). Does anybody know the diameter of the throtle body(intake)? Would a 3" 90 degrees do or I need a smaller size? or a reducer (73 cm to 60 cm).

Thanks for your help.

Hello matey, the throttle body intake is 60mm,

And i used a 90 degree 63mm inside diameter hose when i did mine and was a pretty good fit :)

Wow, the answer straight from the man himeself...I can't get better than that. When you say it was a pretty good fit , did you use any force to fit it ? I am afraid that if I use a 3 inch one (73mm) it would be way too big and it would look quite stupid on the throtle body. I will see how it goes.

No mate the 63mm pipe was a nice fit and sealed very well with a good hose/jubilee clip :)

You might get away with the 73mm if you leave the rubber seal on the throttle body itself? but not sure mate as you'd have to try it and see
