How do you guys have room for all 5 flange bolts when using a 3 inch pipe? I dont think I am going to be able to make all bolts fir if I use a 3inch pipe

 

I have a 5 bolt flange on my 3" dp. You have room, the bottom bolt is always a pita though. I ended up having to use a stud on the bottom one.

 

do you happen to have a pic?

 

I'll take some for you tonight, the motor is out of the car, but the dp is still there, so it will be easy to see.

here's one I took a couple of years ago. I'll get some better shots.

 

ok thanks alot

 

sorry, I was running late for work yesteday (by 1 hour....ooopsie.) so I couldn't get the pics until this morning..

Hope this helps..





One of the things I found helpful was to use 2 of the OEM spring bolts minus the spring on the 2 rear holes, and a stud and nut on the bottom one. Make sure you use antiseize on the threads, otherwise you'll have much difficulty taking them back out.

 

thanks alot that
helps me out

 

just don't turn the pipe down right off the turbo. here is mine:

I had to on mine, I have a/c and p/s.

 

weld on a v band flange to the 5 bolt flange.

makes things a lot easier

In the corner, is that a JDM HOE?

If nothing else, either pound in the pipe around the holes, or use 3/4" long flare section of 3" to [2 7/8" or less]. If you think that is bad, try using 3" off a 3 bolt internal gate flange...
