whats up ht. i put my kit on this weekend but my intercooler isn't here yet so i'm wondering what temporary charge piping i could use that goes from the turbo outlet to the up pipe w/ the blow off on it. i need somehting flexible and heat resistant. preff 2.5 " wide.

anyone have any ideas? thanks all. for your imput.

 

The only thing I can think of that's flexible and would hold that much pressure is radiator hose. JC Whitney sells mandrel bent steel piping that's cheap and can be cut and routed however you want.

How soon will you have your intercooler? I'd just wait till it comes in and do the job once instead of twice.

 

yeh i should of waited, but my setup is already on, i drove to school today open turbo inlet, exhaust, and open compressor outlet.

 

wow. open turbine and open compressor. so no load on the turbine or the compressor?!?! hope u still have ur turbo by the time the ic arrives.

 

yea you are gunna over-rev the turbo and its going to take a ****

 

Just drive it like a grandma until you get your ic.

i wouldnt even do that cuz with no load, that turbo is gonna be overspinning at even 1000 rpm.

 

Okay then......just keep your wastegate open. That might do the trick.

nah, i don't drive over 2500, and i use external tial gate, i don't have the flange on the turbo so the wastegate hole is wide open.

any other ideas on piping though?

 

so you are driving your car around with just a manifold and turbo, please tell me you at least have the oil lines hooked up.

the open wastegate hole might prevent over-spinning but why risk it? you also risk something getting into your wheels, just too many factors that could completely waste your $1000 investment.

find some other means of transportation until you are completely done the install

 

haha yeh i have the oil lines hooked up. the purpose of this post was to ask if anyone had any ideas for temp charge piping. i'm gonna complete that tomorrow. guys lemme know plz. what can i use, i have a upper charge pipe w/ bov and a pipe to come off the turbo outlet, i just need a lil hose.

btw open turbo sounds like **** when you gas it.

That's because you shouldnt be gasing it.

Anyways, you can run to home depot grab what you'll need to make it work in PCV.

 

radiator hose, or buy a piping kit, you will need it anyway. I bet you just wanted to be the first at your high school with a turbo honda right, you just couldnt wait couldya?

That thing still doesnt go anywhere. Plus he has no FMIC to show or BOV to blow off every 5 seconds.

lol guys. i'm 20 been in college for 3 years. i have compete charge piping, i just dont have the intercooler, i had such nice weather this weekend i was like wth i'll throw it on. i just want something for a few days or a week to go from the turb o outlet to the pipe with the bov on it. you guys are too funny. thanks for the advice though

 

I'd say you could try going to a big diesel truck place maybe? Use like peterbuilt rad hose? I dont know but its worth a shot, or even the PVC pipe will work for the short term, just get pvc and the thread sealant and your set
