Piping Install

[sinistaGTR]

well guys,

Yesterday i installed my new turbo, (had hi mount set up before), but my cooler piping was set up crap, went behind the cooler etc etc. so i decided to redo all my cooler piping with my new turbo, now here is some shots, its only been tack welded atm getting migged this week and sprayed in 2pac silver, black or red (my mates a spray painter). just for those that wanna do it on the cheap and need ideas....

the other thing is my carbon canister is down my the in the drivers guard, as put there for compliance, now what we did is made the pipe run a bit furthur out and repositioned the carbon canister under the guard and it fits fine.

i will take more pics this weekend when its all complete

Hey mate, very nice!

Can I ask if you used Donuts? If so how many, and how much straight tube? I intend to do my piping exactly like that.

[sinistaGTR]

we used 3, 2 1/2" donuts and you need bout metre- metre and half of straight pipe will get you out of trouble no worries

Thanks for that, did you source them locally or online?

[sinistaGTR]

just at a zorst shop, you will need also a bit a 16mm os so pipe for the vac to the plenum and a coupla thin pipes for the vacuum hoses, im also getting a fitter mate to make me up a thing for my bov

oh thats not me either in the pic its my painter mate can you tell lol

doesn't really have any room for engine movement in it by the looks of things.

i would have put more silicon joiners in the system to allow for the strain it will be under when the engine torques.,

other than that, looks the goods..

oh and maybe putting a joiner before that pipe that goes over the oil filler cap, so you can fill it up easy

nice piping install. mine should look rather similar as im using a similar size turbo and the q45 also. the piping over the rocker cover looks to be a great idea

how hard was it to find the reducers for the afm going onto the 4inch pipe? did you have an idling/stalling problems with that side of things (afm)

[Munna1]

nice one thats a bloody big turbo

[morlock]

Is it just me or is it going to be a bitch getting to the spark plugs?

Need another joiner in there so you can get the pipe out of the way.

[sinistaGTR]

well....

sir racer...i the reducer from the turbo to the afm is actually one for a 4inch pipe to the standard afm, i already had it, so i just streched it on the new afm. i havent actually started the car yet, waiting for my cooler pipes to be properly welded (had the car off the rd for a while and bought a few goodies i blew my cheap t70 up lol).

munna1 thanks... its a gt3040, just had it polished.

morlock, yeh it will be a bitch but its trial and error if its to much of a pain i will just put a join in there somewhere...
