I DID IT! AC Compatible 3.5 inch up pipe! Thanks to the help of my buddy Rory. Hammered oval pipe to 3.5 inch with plenty of clearance of everything

 

Still wants A/C. Runs an up-pipe.

You're one of those people, aren't you?

 

yep gonna daily it too.

 

What of it rains

 

tractor flapper

 

yuck, galvanized metal.

I lold at a 4'' up pipe on that 14b and the irony its on a d15.

 

wana buy a nice 2-4'' stainless transition?

 

its getting heat wrapped anyways and its gt28 on a soon to be vitara z6 and sure ill give you $15 same price i paid to make this :p

 

Heat wrap will retain moisture causing the galvanized to corrode even faster, especially at the welds where you've removed/damaged the galvanized coating.

still don't understand the point, if there even is one lol.

 

am i the only one who wants to hear this thing fire up?

 

It will sound just like any other open downpipe sohc...

 

Could AT LEAST clean the burrs off from the chop saw before welding it on...

 

I want to also!

 

Im replying but don't have anything to say... you might want some backpressure on that little turbo...

 

I want as little back pressure as possible actually. Itll get cleaned up some later. This is for my $1000 budget 350 whp or bust build. Guess ht doesnt like budget build anymore what a shame oh well. Either way still better then running a 2.25 inch or less downpipe

 

Not gonna lie I prob would like it. Good luck thanks for sharing

 

Is this thread going anywhere or is this pretty much it?

 

There's a good way to do it on a budget, and then there's...what you're doing. Running open up pipe, with a TRACTOR flap, on a DD car, is the kind of **** that makes people hate "Honda kids".

 

I will vouch for the tractor flap not being a good idea.

I have a Baja bug that I 'daily'. Well, I use to. Anyways, I had a stinger exhaust and a tractor flap. Did not work well. For me I just curved the tip down. You're issue is a little bit more complex.

I think a 2.5" downpipe with either a bumper exit or a more traditional exit would be better. You can tell the outlet on the turbo is about 2.5". I'm not sure that you'll be seeing huge gains with a 3.5" pipe coming off of that. At least, that's what I've seen while I was searching. My Garret has a 2.5" flange and I ran a 2.5" downpipe because of that.

 

I like budget. I like homemade ****. I like queens named rory. Especially the ones with turbo chebby junkstangs.

 

****** sig worthy

WTF??

 

I got you.

And I think this thread is done.

 

Please say that your not going to use an intercooler and just directly connect the intake to the turbo.
