you can buy ubends and cut em up until you have the right pipe, and then weld it together

ya know ya luvv it!

LOL. You know what the say, the wheel that squeaks the loudest..... Look on the bright side, if it doesn't work I'll take the hit and you will still have time to cancel your order https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I did some research on the Greddy bend. It's actually a cast piece and costs about $100. The biggest problem is it's special order from Japan and would take at least 6 weeks to get https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png



As far as sawzaling the pipe, you're probably right, but by the time I would have a workable solution I think I'd have more couplers than pipe.



All I need is a nice 120deg 3in bend. Surely someone here must know of where I can find one in the US for a reasonable price. I found a supplier in CDA http://www.members.shaw.ca/powertech/pipingbends.html, but would like to avoid doing the cross boarder thing if possible.

Woolf Aircraft

Thanks guys. Woolf Aircraft has 180 deg 3in bends for around $40.00. So far that's my best option.

From whom did you order it?



BTW NICE project https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

UPDATE:



Manifold Turbo/Chassis Clearance:

Today I test fitted my turbo and manifold on a friend's car, which is also getting a single put in. I'm a concerned about how close the turbo sits to the chassis. There is a bit more than 1/4" of clearance. I posted a few pictures below that I took with my camera phone (forget to bring the memory chip for standard camera).



I'm going to do some research over the next day and decide whether this is acceptable or the manifold needs to be modified. It won't be too expensive to have someone cut off the turbo flange and weld it back on at a slightly different angle, but it will add some time onto the project.



What do you guys think? How much does the motor torque over under load at full power? Keep in mind I have upgraded motor mounts. I would love it hear from people using a setup with similar clearance.

another.

nice...what does your friend Mark think of it (from the back i mean https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR )
