Ok here is my issure, im almost done with my gheto hmt project and this seems to be one of the last issues im having.

setup--- EG hatch-- 14b--- std mani---- jrc IC ....

problem is now im trying to atatch my turbo to the IC piping. The piping is being routed through the windsheild washer hole to me fmic. I bought a stock 14b j-pipe thinking that it would work out greak, and the sliscone reducer to get it to the bigger charge piping. Well i was wrong, it apears that the agle of the j-pipe shoot right into the fram of the car. It too low to get the ic piping on it.

What can i do to get this ---- to work together? I was thinking about cutting the pipe of the j-pipe flange, cutting it to the angle i needed, and then jb welding the pipe back onto the flange. Anyone think this would work?

anything you guys can suggest please!!!!

 

I had the same problem and all i did was cut the flange and welded on another piece, turned out pretty good

 

did u weld straight to the turbo or did u just weld another piece onto the flange? Its aluminum right

 

Weld onto the j-pipe flange. The stock Mitsu 14b j-pipe is actually steel. Mine's pretty rusty.

 

Could you take a picture of what you are talking about for me?

 

i cut/ turned and rewelded mine to face towards the ws/w fluid hole// then hit it wit some hitemp black paint!! my charge piping is 2" from turbo to fmic.. and 2.5 from fmic to throttle body

 

I got around this for now by using a exhaust reducer on my lower charge pipe and using 2in radiator hose to bridge the gap between the elbow and the lower charge pipe
