The Plazmaman 800hp kit doesn't require any cutting just bending of AC line and fits like a glove and yes I can help you out on a kit if that's what you're after 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93126-moving-aircon-lines/page/2/#findComment-1636735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It results in kinks (reduced diameter) and is ugly as... Do it right, do it once.

If you already have the tools and know how to do it then great, I'd recommend it too. For everyone else a 5 minute bend job is sufficient. I for one dgaf what some piping hidden behind my bumper looks like. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93126-moving-aircon-lines/page/2/#findComment-1636746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_XR6_Turbo Member 282 Member For: 20y 11m 17d Posted 19/04/17 08:05 AM Author Share Posted 19/04/17 08:05 AM I've scored a plazmaman pro series for $600 (I think that's a good price). It "came" with the cold side piping but it's not the plazmaman one. It's 60mm in diameter. Will that be a big restriction? The plazmaman one is 76mm from what I read.

The 76 series is 800/1000/1200 hp specs yeh second hand buying hasn't done you any favours with that 60mm pipe Edited 19/04/17 09:29 AM by JETURBO Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93126-moving-aircon-lines/page/2/#findComment-1636870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
