where the downpipe gunna go?

and are u routing in an intercooler?

The top of the downpipe is actually in the picture. Its going back down the same side over the up pipe.

There is no plans for an intercooler. There is no place where it would be effective. I was thinking air/water but I figure Im just going to build a custom meth injection setup for it.

I know a kid who drives a built evo, his meth got stuck on and he didn't realize it. Luckily he just fouled the plugs and didnt blow the motor.

I guess he neglected to run an on demand pump and a solenoid.

wuts wrong with ur turbo set up?

[CSaddict]

Nothing. Its just time consuming. I think I want to change it again. I have the up pipe all welded and in and the turbo mounted and braced. I think I want to change the up pipe a bit and make a different brace. I don't know. I may just leave this one and make a whole new one. If I leave the bracing I made I have to change the P/S hose routing a bit and I would prefer to not do that. I also have a throttle body spacer and I think I should remove it so I can run a longer radius silicone coupler.........time comsuming.

On the other hand if I just bang it out and leave everything the way it is I could actually just finish it if I had 1 entire day to devote to it. My silicone couplers and oil lines came yesterday and I got my injectors a few days ago. Almost done.

[CSaddict]

Charge pipe is done and the couplers fit. Blow off valve is welded on. Injectors are installed. P/S line is rerouted. Its coming along. Ill get some pics tomorrow.

I was going to try to square up the turbo in the engine compartment but after looking at it, its better the way I have it for the downpipe room.

Schweet, a lifted xj with turbo sick nasty.

Little update. Here is the bracket I made for the turbo. Simple but strong. The angle is 1/4 and is mounted by the 2 bolts that hold the fuel line bracket.


36 lbs injectors I bought from www.southbayfuelinjectors.com They are bosch style and are one for one direct fit. $140.99 shipped


Overall shot of the aluminum charge pipe I welded the blow off valve into. Its a simple RFL knock off from ebay. The blow off valve was $24.94 shipped from Ebay. The tubing was left over from another turbo kit. The couplers are from www.siliconeintakes.com they were $44.97 shipped.



Just need to finish the downpipe, tap the oil pan, run the oil lines and install the gauges. Then its finish work like heat shielding and wrapping the pipes.
