any update???

 

oh buddy, IS THERE? haha the car is alot different now.

 

tease!

 

just curious why you didn't clock the turbo and route the cold side a little lower like most do?

 

cause im just THAT cool........ compressor side is too big, i dont really wanna cut the compressor and weld on a 90º piece.

 

im probably gonna route it down...

 

Ah, Yeah you would have to get a elbow welded on if you did that, thats true.

one thing you might want to keep watch for is under higher boost that silicone 90 is likely to blow a hole in the middle of the bend. Mostly why people weld elbows on; but your project looks good. When will it run?

Ah. well if you route it down I suggest picking up one of those elbows from driftmotion or something. I just had my 67mm welded up in class and it was pretty simple.

 

yea, there is a place near me has them for 30 bucks. ill do that later, this hose is like 5 layer... so that probably wont happen. dotta angle the Dp tomorow, and get the exhaust made on the car and redo that cold side for now. later when i turn it up like a mother ill do the welded 90º and hks front mount, probably.... so we will see.

 

second thought i may weld the turbo tomorrow too, ill see how i feel tomorrow.

 

i had a 3 ply blow on me when I used to cruise around at 16 lbs. I don't know how long it actually took to finally go, but it was probably like a year of daily driving. Turned up the boost for a small race with a buddy and he was actually keeping up with me in his camaro. Biggg boost leak!

Im sure it would only cost like 25 bucks to have someone tig that elbow on. Any ways good luck!

 

I tig son..... i know whats up here!

 

nice. Then you know its cake walk My teachers were really worried about the weld cracking upon cool down so I left it in the booth to cool for about 2 hours. No damage done

 

UPDATE: Cut the pipe and welded a 90º on my compressor housing, angled my don pipe and welded it and BOV mounted to throttle body, here is a teaser. HAHAH love teasing!

 

hate teasing damn i want this setup

 

O-oh.. WOOT!
