w00t! a sraight pipe will flow better, and u can make one with less joints in it

gringotegra · 11-07-2008, 08:09 AM

Nice build! i dont see why it wont do 700whp with enough fuel...my tuners T4/T67 setup did 750whp@33psi on Q16.. 81mm bore... the lag on that car sucks ass...im sure yours isnt as bad..Good luck with the car!

and this just makes me laugh. i highly doubt my charge pipe having an S in it is going to make less power than a straight one. thats like saying a water hose with lets say 20psi of water pressure is going to have 18psi of water pressure because its curved laying on the ground. pressure is pressure. it doesnt matter what curvature my charge pipe has. but yes one with less joints would be nicer looking i guess. but ive seen much worse.

ReDHaTcHyGuy · 11-08-2008, 05:55 AM

everyone knows less bends in pipe mean less restrictions. just like exhausts. i didnt say u would make less power...

okay but restrictions in an exhaust equates to a power loss correct? so im confused as to what youre trying to say. it has bends. its restrictive? but it wont make the car lose any power?

if u are really worried about it then change it but if i were u i would leave it there are many people running fast times with the intercooler pipe lookin like that. for example Tony1

lol i duno about baller. it could look nicer. i want to add 3'' vbands at the throttle body and right after the bov. i think that will clean it up quite a bit.

Leland · 11-09-2008, 08:21 AM

The big deal is anytime you post pic's of your set-up regardless if its as sick as yours there's always some no dick loser that thinks there's a problem, this site is especially bad for that shit...Sick set-up btw! You mani is very similar to a mini-ram but it looks cast. How do you like it?

Leland · 11-09-2008, 08:21 AM

Either way nice set-up.

lol i know him. i dont know if hes just trying to be a smartass or if he actually thinks theres something wrong with it...who knows. i used to have a full-race ramhorn. but ehh. theyre a pain in the ass. a real big pain in the ass. with installation and removal. things like that. but anyway i like the way it is alot. a few things need to be cleaned up here and there but they will be addressed sooner or later. thanks for the nice comments

ReDHaTcHyGuy · 11-09-2008, 11:47 AM

lol i was really just [freak]ing with him cause he's a friend a mine.. he does the same thing... personally id prefer to change the pipe , but it his car..

Wow. This car has come quite a ways in the past two-three years. Just scrolling down through the first page of pics, I was like... that car looks familiar... that track looks familiar. lol Good to see it B-series and boosted now!

And yes... it will easily break the 13's. So have some fun with it.

The air won't really care which way it goes, as it'll automatically find the path of least resistance. The bend won't affect anything to any major degree. It does look a bit funny though. Looks like it was donated from a certain EF.

the ic piping was out of an eg. beats me why it was made that way. i had to take a little off in one section for it to fit behind the bumper without rubbing but other than that i just left it alone. and lol the 13s thing was a joke because my car had never seen anything faster than a 13sec pass. lol

Yeah. I figured that was the case. The H2B ran well I thought. Always 13.7s to 14.0s on street tires when I saw it I believe. That's not bad at Mason. Just imagine the time at Cecil.

purchased a purple blow off valve cover from tial. and i just installed the climate control i purchased. even though one of my friends is going to finish the wiring for me...because A. i work too long and im way too tired when i get home. and B. he owns with a soldering gun. P.S. its a CDM acura EL climate control. kinda rare. i just like how they look better than the 96-98, or 99-00 ones. plus they light up amber and have a clock :p ill update with more pics when i get everything installed. im also buying a blox TB this friday. anyone heard anything bad about them?
