hey guys, just wondering.. i check out all of the 14b turbo projects and didnt really see much, on the cold side of the turbo where im going to attach my charge pipes, theres that flange. what should i connect there? weld a flange to a piece of pipe and bolt it on?? and then continue with the charge pipes


heres a pic.



thanks,

weld a flange to a piece of pipe and bolt it on is correct to me it looks cleaner!!!

There is a pipe you can get from the DSMs called the "J-Pipe", It will directly bolt on without you having to make one.

I have one if you need it. I either have the stock one which is good if you're just running a sidemount intercooler or a stainless one from Dejon Tool that is made for a front mount intercooler. It sets the outlet down farther where you can easily attach the licp from a front mount. Both are in excellent condition. The OEM one is supposed to be black, but the paint was chipping so it's media blasted now. It's aluminum so it won't rust. The Dejon one is stainless and TIG welded. It's a bit thicker too so will flow better. $20 for the stocker or $50 for the stainless. That's shipped.

hell im not sure, i really would love to pick one of these up off of you though.. do you by any chance have a pic or can get a pic of it bolted to a 14b?? ha im trying to figure out which way its going to go in order to get the best use out of it.. its going into my 90 crx si so im thinking, with the cold side facing the drivers side, im going to be running it like that..


down where the overflow is and to my fmic

lemme knwo what you think/if you have pics,

thanks

con

the stock one is not aluminium

yes its steel i pullled on the other day so it will RUST :1 oh NO rust!! NO NONO

spray some candy paint on it lol

Wank.a.lot

you can also buy the flange from a few places and make your own jpipe. that is what i did.
in the crx the stock jpipe is not at a good angle which is why i made my own. it looks like ***, but doesn't leak and hasn't broke yet. so i guess i'm good.
oh and no one sees under this hood so don't talk ---- about my welds bitches. yeah i could have cleaned them up a little (a lot) and yeah i could have fixed the pinhole leak with some weld, but instead i used some weld putty crap. kiss my *** *******, it's hmt.
oh and that putty weld has held up really good. i should have just used it to do all the welding

Yeah no problem. Here are some pictures. You could make either one work with the proper couplers, but the Dejon one would work better for a fmic. Apparently I'm mistaken too; the stock one is steel. Like that ------- matters anyway; goddamn nit pickers. The turbo is a 16g, but it's the same compressor housing just a slightly larger compressor inlet. In other words; it'll bolt up exactly the same and sit exactly the same.





I didn't snug the bolts down all the way, but you get the idea. One of the bolts isn't even the right pitch haha. The Dejon looks like it sits too close to the housing from that angle, but there's plenty of room to stick a coupler on there to attach your piping, so it's great. It'll take up less space too. LMK if you need more pictures or w/e.
