Does anyone know where I can find a down pipe that is larger than the traditional 3" I.D to be used with a HKS T51 R Kai turbo on a FD???? ...I'm thinking 3.75"



Does anyone know someone who can custom make such a DP ? ..and have it Jet Hot coated too.



I am not using cats ...none.



TIA,

3rdGen7

You can just buy the straight pipes and bends, cut them to size, and have them welded together. Nobody is going to have one ready made for that turbo kit, except for whatever HKS gives you.

Agree with Ace...you're going to have to make your own custom DP for anything above 3". There are plenty of metal supply shops and diesel repair places that can supply premade bends for whatever size you need.

There's a guy out here who I'm trying to help get a 4" DP made for the same turbo. If you're interested in 4" we may be able to make an extra.

who do you know that a T51R Kai :unsure:

Tony from T&R is looking for one. 3rdGen7 already has one, but he's trying to help him find one. I think that I'm going to buy that T-76, but if I wanted to use it on my car I'd have to modify it. The A/R is kind of high for me: 1.08. I don't think it will work with my manifold, but I can just make a new one now that I have my welder. I'm still not too good with it so I'd just weld it so that it stays together and bring it to someone I know to finish.

people do believe cause i "say so" :ph34r:

I used to have the Greddy T88 and it came with a 4 inch downpipe,it was awesome to look at because it was so huge but its pretty much useless if you have to hook it up to a smaller 3 inch downpipe.Who do you know that has a 4 inch midpipe and catback?Nobody unless you custom make it.I now have the HKS T51R KAI and am happy to have the smaller 3 inch downpipe because it will help back pressure increasing spool up times.....



Anyways,yeah I enjoy my HKS T51R KAI KIT.Better than my old Greddy T88 Kit.....

What do you like better about the HKS kit?

Isn't the HKS titanium exhaust 4" all the way through? It's both a midpipe and cat back all in one.

Although alot of this sounds trivial it's why I like the kit.





[B]LIKES



1.The TURBO looks bad ass with the name stamped on the front.

2.The TURBO sounds like a Harrier Jet,truly amazing.

3.The kit comes with better quality fittings,all braided lines.

4.The kit comes with a filter that actually fits unlike the Greddy Kit.

5.The Kit comes with all V-Clamps which is really nice making it a sinch to take apart the kit with easy.

6.The kit comes with more heat shields than the Greddy Kit.

7.The kit is a Garret Based turbo so if needed the parts can be replaced if needed with ease.



[B]DISLIKES

It didnt come with the right pipe between the intercooler and turbo.

Yeah, I figured it was because of the overall quality of the kit. How is the performance compared to the T-88?

I'll let you know when I put it on! HAHA!!!!



Its sitting in the box still,Prob strap it on next week though:)

You MUST let us know! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

If you run them in parallel you may actually make boost before 6K. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I have someone coming over from Japan and he is supposed ( *supposed* being the key word here ) to have TWO KAI kits with him.. one is for Tony and the other... may be for sale.. but someone else has already put in a bid for it. Will post details.



As per my downpipe.. after checking into it, a US made DP will not work on my car as my car is a JSPEC..so unless I get a DP that comes with the KAI it (which was made for JDM cars only), i will either have to get a Trust T88 JDM DP and chop off the end and weld on the flange for the V-clamps or make one..



...when will it ever end ?!?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

you can order just the downpipe from HKS i'm SURE!

So Tony is getting rid of the T-78? How about Romeo?

that's Anthony's T78 that tony has been using. I'm thinking that anthony may want to put his car back together some time soon https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

No one is getting rid of anything..nothing is confirmed on these kits as yet. ..and I have first dibs on a DP from one of the two kit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I'll let you all know what is going on once they're landed and cleared customs... IF in fact there are ANY kits at ALL !

You've waited quite a while for a DP. I think that you could have taken a welding course, bought a welder, and made it yourself in the time you've waited. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Is Anthony still making his car full race?

Isn't the HKS titanium exhaust 4" all the way through? It's both a midpipe and cat back all in one.[/quote]

Yes, it is. 4" from downpipe to muffler

True true.. just that I am trying to minimize the down time ...I'd have to pull everything off again, put up the T51 and make the DP, then pull it all off and put back the twin until I sort out the fuel system for the Kai..yeah yeah.. know.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif
