turbo pipes?

[veegeeta]

Can you make another and how much would it be? Verry interested & jelous.

[Oblivion]

more pics PLEASE

Thats all the photos I have, is there something specific you want to see or from a certain angle?

I could get another made or more if other people are interested too, I can call it Oblivion Racing Spec Uglypipe Modification or 'ORSUM' for short hahaha . Im not sure about price as I got it made a couple years ago, I'll find out in the next couple weeks for you though.

[veegeeta]

That would be great if you can do 1 for me ,Please keep us informed .

do i smell a GB!!!!!! lol.....im interested too...what else did you change on one part?

[hbkuk1]

i could be interested i was thinking of trying to equalize toe pipe lenghts altho if this would help flow or not i dont know as there not the same lengths after the turbos eather

[Colin Wiltshire]

I'd be interested in that pipe too.

[jjayokocha]

good job, it looks great. i want one, i want one ha ha

keep in mind this pipe may not be interchangeable from auto to manual as there are different clearance's and the radiator hose is different,
also i see this is not designed around standard piping or airbox.

With that pipe there is also a silicone hose that reduces in diameter to join to the turbo, you can see it in the photo with the pipe installed. I'll try find more when I see about getting the pipe made soon, really busy at the moment so sorry if it takes a week or two.

Ah that's fantastic. Do you have one for the rear turbo? What's the measurement of this pipe? Looks to me I can just buy the s/s piece ad have them mig welded here and join. Including the reducers. This is nice. What does it look like post MAF?

Rear turbo: Coming directly out of the turbo is a hard pipe which I think is stock, then I have a 90 degree turn hard pipe which replaces a flexi pipe. Do you mean measurement of the pipe diameter? Post MAF - pre turbo is stock apart from the ugly pipe replacement.

I think I know what you mean now, equal length to the turbos? I'd say it would be possible if you change around the rest of the intake side.... but like you said they're gonna be unequal on the other side of the turbos so it might not be worth the hassle unless you're also changing to bigger turbos and want to get the most out of them.
Hmmm the rear turbo has shorter pipe in and long out, front turbo is longer in but shorter out so maybe the overall length of each works out to be roughly the same?

Yeah almost definitely wont work with an auto if the original pipe is shaped to fit around the auto box.
Im not sure how close it would run to the standard airbox, Gly is right as he pointed out that I am not using the standard airbox with this. Maybe someone wants to check how close that original ugly pipe gets to the airbox and take a pic?
The other pipe I changed replaces the plastic one that comes off the throttle body and the flexi thats joined to that, these dont come very close to where the ugly pipe goes so it shouldnt matter if you have the stock ones.

The standard pipe sits on top of the transmission itself. It's almost impossible to remove with the filter in place... however if you went straight from the turbo across to where the ATF filter sits and then up, it would fit. I'm not sure if that would fit with the standard airbox however.

Next time the car is in the garage I'll strip down the intake slightly and take pictures to show what I mean.

I still want one Im in a fto/manual i know it will work for me

yes thats what i mean cant decide it it would help or not , and i wish i knew how to quote stuff properly

[swinks]

Some dimensions for you guys.
Turbo intake is approx. 45mm OD
Rubber Y-splitter exits have 63mm OD

Front turbo (manual versions) can be done by:
- 63mm ID long straight silicone hose (intake flexi silicone reinforced)
- 63mm t-piece aluminium with dv outlet
- 63mm to 45mm silicone elbow reducer 90 degree

Rear turbo:
- 63mm ID silicone elbow 90 degree
- 63mm aluminum coupler
- 63mm to 45mm silicone reducer elbow 90 degree

Have a fun

Just re-read this thread again and Im not too sure I understand your question completely, but I also changed the pipe that goes to the throttle body (replaces the standard plastic pipe and flexi pipe). I've got some pics somewhere to show what I mean. On the other side of the engine are two hard pipes that replace the two flexis.
By the way the diameter of the ugly pipe replacement is about 63mm.

I've been to the fabricator and to make another polished pipe thats all nice and shiny, including the silicone reducer and clamps the total is going to be $130 NZD. If you are wondering about quality the workmanship is top notch, I've had this on for at least two years with various boost settings/ trackdays etc and had zero problems.
Getting them made means I'll have to leave my car at the workshop for a while so he can make exact copies and be sure they all fit so I'd rather go once and get them all done than several times and be car-less a few times!

So when you going?

Well its my first time doing something like this but I think to be fair I'll confirm the numbers, take payments and then get them done?

I can also have any of the other hard pipes (that simply replace the standard flexis) made while Im there if anyone's interested.

[veegeeta]

just to let you know still verry keen on this pipe

This is how I did it. I changed that 'ugly pipe' that goes to the front turbo as the diameter and shape changes along its length and cant be that great for airflow, I didn't think it necessary to replace the Y shaped pipes as I felt they were big enough and there wouldn't be much advantage in changing them.

Here is the unpolished 'ugly pipe' replacement

Which I decided to paint to match my other pipes

And this is what it looks like installed

Sweet, sounded like there was a couple other 'maybes' but they seem to have gone quiet now lol.
Sampa are you still using the standard airbox or have you had a look to see how much clearance there is? I wish I still had a standard box around to see!
