turbo help

[myconsvt]

i was wondering if anyone had any diagrams of the pipeing for a custom turbo kit, mainly i need a picture/ help with the y-pipe and how i set it up for the turbo.

I think the word 'custom' is the key in your post. Not all Y pipes are the same. You have to make it work.

A drawing will not help you ... you need to either work off an engine on an engine stand KNOWING full well where you have room or not AND/OR work on it with the engine in the car. From there, you simply start measuring length and angles and then start to jot down notes. Someone else's notes are going to be highly gaurded as they took the time to make it work ... the least you could do is the same. That being said, Warmonger has posts all over the old boards/high website with pictures of his designs. Pictures will not tell you what angle to align pipes at or what lengths to cut them at ... that has to come from you working on the system as described above.

I have a sketch that I did as a concept for my last piping set I made. I think its pretty clear as to the conceptual layout, but it may/may not be to you guys.



Just remember who's design sketches these are! lol
You guys would really be suprised to see some of the crap I've sketched out in my "Contour Modifications" notebook.

That sketch looks so much better in person. I like holding it and imagining!

it makes it look so much easier than it is. it's tempting but its looking very promising that i'll have a blower on this fall.

if you have access to, and are any good at welding, blowers are not worth it compared to turbos, the torque curves alone are worth the headaches of designing and building the pipe work.

at least in my opinion.

yep i agree. i would really like to try and get a front mount intercooler though. water/air makes for too much stuff to put in my trunk, if it would have a tank. i'll already have 2 nitrous bottles and a battery back there

My water/air IC doesn't seem to take up too much room in my trunk.

Oh, yeah.. none of it is in the trunk, that's why.


There's ways around everything! don't give up!

can you put up some pics of your setup?????? plzzzzzz?
