Pipe Size and EQ questions.....
yes i was wondering on your piping on your manifolds what size do you use does it matter on size of manifold pipeing on turbo projects will it hurt my turbo car if i have to small size pipe what is the size that most manufacture's use on there products also i was wondering about EQ, how do you measure it to be EQ manifold i really like this site and yes im a newbi tryin to learn what i can... thank you for looking...

Re: Pipe Size and EQ questions.....
ok, i'm not sure what you are refering to with eq... equal length? most people use 1.5" butt weld fittings for their manifolds... most noobs use the search function before looking like a :1 good luck with your project.

Re: Pipe Size and EQ questions.....
ok was using the search engine on this site then tryed goggle and still havent found an article on how to measure the pipes for equal length please any info well help me out, im not currently doing a project but would like to know in advanced...

Re: Pipe Size and EQ questions.....
well it's pretty easy to determine the length of the straight pipes, i really hope you can do that
for the 90 degree bend try this:
say you have a 2" diameter 90 degree bend and you know the radius of the arc(distance from the edge of one end of the pipe to the center of the other end, measured perpundicular to the first end and parallel to the other) we will call this value "X"
you take that distance and double it to get the diameter which is "2X"
then you multiply by pi which equals about "3.14(2X)"
multiply that number by (90 degrees/360 degrees) because there would be 360 degrees in the circurmrence you just found(3.14(2X)), but you are only looking at 90 degrees of that circumfrence
so you would be multiplying (1/4)by(3.14(2X))
that is the length of your bend through the center of the pipe, if you want the length of the inside or outside of pipe, you can change the radius or "X" value to be the distance from the center to that particular edge
hope this all makes sense, if not I can do some photoshop, but if you not you should probly not be turboing your own car either, just a thought

Re: Pipe Size and EQ questions.....
im pretty sure i understood all that but send me that photoshop so i can double check and see if what i understood was correct or if i was wrong... but im pretty sure i understood what you said...
