I was just eyeing up a few things today before we get started on the piping. it looks like the piping off the turbo will get in the way of the oil return line if the turbo pints straight down and if its at too much of an angle or forward i cant get piping tothe IC. this is a reg side style IC.
Anyone have any opinions, I have tgraction bars too.
Ill go take a pic to give everyone an idea

 

get a silicon 90° from agpturbo.com. Should be $39 or something. Makes things VERY easy.

 

heres what im looking at now.

 

you can clock the turbo foward more to get it out of the oil lines way, and then run a 90* coupling.

 

cut hole into the intercooler, full-race backdoor style

 

if i put it forward more the piping wont clear the frame unless i get out the plasma cutter and start cutting stuff up.
I checked ATP and they dont have transition 90s. i would need a 2-2.5 90degree.

 

here is the coupler that cody is talkin about
i was checking them out earlier today myself

i know whats he's talking about , but like i said i have a baby turbo it only hasd like a 2inch outlet. and i run 2.5 inch piping.

also i was thinking the backdoor option , but my ic is too big. if i clock the turbo straight out it will go right into the core.

 

you can get a cast elbow from road race and just weld it on the turbo.. Thats how I did mine.

yeah do it the full-race style, most lovefab things are by the looks of it.

 

todd do you have a site for them ? do they have a transition one? im sure the guy doing the piping can figure something out , but worse to worse i guess i could prob get another 45 or so and just point the outlet straight up and do it that way , but i tihnk it looks sloppy that way.

 

Move the return line over 4 inches

 

i wish that were possible. lol.
we had a bitcxh to get that line even that good. you can see a little that 45 off the turbo kinda comes towards the turbo a little. if that were prob 1/2-1inch towards the pass side id prob be straight. i had no probs with the traction bars before with my other manifold. the pipe just ran along the bars

They make transitioning 90, and 45 degree bends...but I think you'll have to email them for one.

 

i'm having the same problem.. just get a 2" 90 bend.. and run a 2" pipe.. its only gonna flow as good as the smallest opening.. then once you get to the intercooler if you want to use 2.5" then go for it.. they sell transistion hose in straights and not in 90s unfornatly..

 

http://www.roadraceengineering.com I think.. look under the diy section.. I got a 2.25" elbow and welded it to the turbo.

 

that is a nice pic 2.2.i was thinking of something like that , but wasnt sure if it would hinder flow. BTW that return line is toomuch IMO. other than that a beatiful job on the piping.
