Ls ghetto topmount
 

Well I switched to a ls in my crx a while back and havent come up with the money for a nice topmount yet so for the time being this is what I came up with. Its 2" "whitey" bent and braced three times back to the cast manifold. I picked up the T3 flange and the tial wg flange for $15 locally and the 2" I had laying around the garage. Well see how long it lasts O0 :6

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

lol nice job aaron. How does it run?

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

Im going to try one of these on my own car,hopefully it fits with a fatty turbo :6 Did u not have the OEM heat shield or couldnt make it fit?

Re: Ls ghetto topmount / Sinktrap
 

Nice job! sweet another sinktrap
That looks like a Volvo turbine housing and a Ford compressor housing.
If so, how did you fix the gap issue on the turbing inlet with the recessed circle? It looks like it hangs past the T3 flange.

Do you have more pics of the bends and the wastegate placement?

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

The manifold didnt come with a heat sheild and it is a ford .63 turbine housing. I shaved it down unitill the recess was gone. I just finished it last night and I still have a half tank of 87 octain or whatever the cheap ---- is so Ive been taking it easy untill I can get some 92-93 octain in. Ill try and get some pics of it off the car, but so far its working fine.

Re: Ls ghetto topmount

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

kinda hard to go stealth with that big snail staring you in the face. lol

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

Ha ha i meant to cover the crusty stock mani but ya your def right :D

Re: Ls ghetto topmount
 

Here is a few better pics for ya. Today I drove it all day, lots of highway miles and quite a few 10 psi rippers ;) As for the piping Idk how thick it is, its heavyer than exhaust piping but not by much. I think it was bought at fleet farm.
