Late night HMT intercooler action
 

I'm not sure how many of you are following my thread about turbocharging my cousin's Accord:

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...hp?topic=55261

But last night/this morning (1 A.M.) Chris and I were trying to figure out how the heck we were going to do the piping from the J-pipe to the existing intercooler piping..

The J-pipe was big and pointing in the opposite direction of what we needed :l



Well, I brainstormed, and after a short run to Home Depot we got what we needed:

Chris chopped down the J-pipe to nothing, I put a HD bend on it, then used another part of the j-pipe to bend some more, used part of the turbo rubber piping from the Probe Turbo to connect that to even another piece of the j-pipe, then used a transition coupler from that small pipe to the 2.5" pipe, then that 2.5" pipe connects to the rest :8 :y Finally got done right around 3 A.M. after all the parts running

;D

Also, today after we get the seals we're installing the 450's (Going Frank style... "just press those bitches in") and the BOV, however the BOV piping is 2 1/4 and the regular piping is 2 1/2, and we can't find any home depot transition couplers :S Also John Kerr (j-k-tuning) is going to chip the p06, so we might have this thang running by Friday ;D

Looks good. You guys seem to have done a VERY clean job on it. Hope it runs well for you. HA, my Dad walks by: "Wow, all THEIR stuff is all crome and shiny." LOL. He's a ricer. :P I DO like that manifold though.

Other than the serious amount of rust and the homo painted engine parts, it looks good. :l I predict busted couplers in your future though....

your going to melt right through there, the temps coming from that turbo will eat that rubber piece of ---- alive. other than that, it looks good.

Re: Late night HMT intercooler action
 

what manifold is that? Looks hot

That butyl rubber elbow won't hold the boost, unless you're only boosting a punk-ass 6 or 8 psi....

Lots of guys have tried, all have failed.

Re: Late night HMT intercooler action
 

i boosted 10-12 punds on a rubber elbow and never had a problem....

ss autocunted
turbo is WAY undersized

Re: Late night HMT intercooler action
 

ehh i didnt recognize it. I agree that turbo is mad small, prolly be running out of air by 5250 on 9 psi
