What is wrong with this uppipe? Doh!

reddevil · 07-23-2008, 01:05 AM

So for the first time in 4 years I am finally using a turbo manifold......

So I needed to make a custom uppipe.......

Other than the ugly (but fully funtional!) welds, what is wrong with this picture?

oh man LOL twincharging ftw

jaxscuby · 07-23-2008, 07:11 AM

you might run into clearance issues.
why do you think the stock up-pipe
has bends instead of a 90?
probably going to hit front cross member.

LiquidForce · 07-23-2008, 07:53 AM

I can't tell from this angle, but is the crank installed the right way on this one?

05-rsx · 07-23-2008, 08:05 AM

OZMG!
Does running the turbine reverse achieve quicker spool!??

*edit, nope, after further studying, that's around the right way*

kevinh211 · 07-23-2008, 10:49 AM

it looks to far back, is it going to hit the axel or firewall?
also you didnt weld a flange to the header, i'd imagine that it would be a nightmare to put on.

wrxhard · 07-23-2008, 11:08 AM

that comp housing looks waaaayyyy nosed down. Try getting a inlet hose on that bad boy!!!

anickode · 07-23-2008, 11:17 AM

You welded it to the exhaust manifold.

Yup.

So It was redone, now it fits very nicely....

And I can take the whole assembly on and off, just a bit tricky.

Chi_San · 07-23-2008, 08:29 PM

Is that an M90 or an M62? It looks NOTHING like my M62!

reddevil · 07-23-2008, 11:11 PM

M62, post a picture of yours.

PhilSine · 07-24-2008, 12:29 AM

Wow your welds make me feel better about mine

reddevil · 07-24-2008, 01:13 AM

I am welding with an old bottle of pure CO2.... But while ugly!!! they are good and strong.

Bottle is almost empty and am going to get the CO2 Argon mix, or whatever exactly it is that makes welds look robotic.

I just took a picture of the uppipe installed

wrxhard · 07-24-2008, 09:28 AM

You using mild or stainless?

seth1981 · 07-24-2008, 11:09 AM

No Car Around That Motor!!

ROFL!!!

red, you deserved that one!

medamullet · 07-24-2008, 01:49 PM

where does the IC go?

reddevil · 07-24-2008, 02:32 PM

The pipe coming out of the top of the supercharger leads to the FMIC.

wrxsti.l · 07-24-2008, 07:31 PM

From memory the M62 flows to about 300-320whp efficiently - having it mounted the you have, won't it limit airflow and power?

reddevil · 07-24-2008, 08:21 PM

Not really.

Here is the last dyno sheet, 26 psi, supercharger belt jumped where the power lets off.

390 torque @ 3800 rpm, 350 whp @ 5000 rpm, with it obviously climbing.

jaxscuby · 07-26-2008, 09:00 AM

remember about cylinder closest to up-pipe.
and why factory up-pipe has the 2 bends,
trying to keep heat away from that rear cylinder.
but you knew that already..

reddevil · 07-26-2008, 11:28 AM

Its getting wrapped, just don't have the wrap yet.

nicad · 07-26-2008, 01:55 PM

you TIG weld that? I'm going to guess MIG due to the splatter

304SS?

reddevil · 07-26-2008, 02:23 PM

MIG.

stainless and "regular" welded together.

nicad · 07-26-2008, 05:56 PM

ouch yeah, that's a tough one to pull off especially with MIG
