I'm working on my charge pipe and I can't decide what the most effective location for couplers would be.



Of course couplers would be required at the TB (position A) and at the intercooler and turbo, but I would like to eliminate other connectors, hopefully down to 2 bellows to allow engine movement. Which positions would allow the most movement with the least binding? The lower charge pipe will be bolted to the chassis.

i would say less sleeve less guess of them blowing off...but the main thing is stress point avoid those spots...i remember back when i had my pipes made for an itr intake manifold swapped to a JG which sits lower i had to modifyand cut it and put a sleeve there temporary and that shti blew off almost everytime i boosted after i tuned it

 

avoid bend

 

ah, maybe my diagram wasn't clear enough. None of them are at bends.

a-throttle body
b-upper pipe, horizontal
c-where the charge pipe goes through the fender well
d-hot pipe, horizontal
e-where the charge pipe goes through the fender well

Remove coupling "B" weld instead.

Remove coupling "D" weld instead.

The rest you pretty much gotta use.

he needs a coupler on D
if his signature is right he has a EF chassis, wich he will need one there anyways

 

Thanks for the input!

I was planning on welding E & C if i used B & D and visa versa.

I think I can get by with D welded, it may be tough to get in, but it should fit.

We'll see how it turns out i guess.
