Sorted! :) Installing 3" exhaust for new big turbocharger...

[Sharktrainer]

Currently have 2.5" on my lowered car, and scrape over even the mildest speed bump. Anyone have any creative approaches for clearance aside from creating a tunnel in floorboard, which I'm not against, but would rather avoid.

 

I entertained just directing it out to driver side fender at one point with my 2.5" current setup.

Have no emission regulations here in Hawaii, nor enforced noise laws. At one point had it dumping straight down right off turbo, but fumes and people pulling up telling me fire kept coming from under car when I would get on the go pedal, heh.

You could try to use oval shaped piping instead of round.

taller springs!

Where could I find that, that is willing to ship to Hawaii. I prefer stainless.

If not for autocross, I would.

Follow up on my last reply, found on eBay, mahalo.

For routing ideas...

How’s she running?

Nice work there 

 

Already ordered all the pieces. I thought about what you did, but I keep destroying guibos, and would only complicate future change outs.

 

Car runs very well, just a little hiccup on transition from idle. Wish I had some sort of hydraulic engine mounts to absorb the vibration, which keeps loosening like everything on the engine.

[bento]

The band clamps make it a 2 minute job to pull the center section. There’s one at the turbo too, so dropping the downpipe is almost as easy.

 

Good to hear it’s running pretty well. Hopefully you can dial out that hiccup.  

 

I made the mistake of switching to urethane mounts. Will probably switch back to HD rubber eventually. Nothing has vibrated loose yet, but I’m sure it’s a matter of time.

I'll dial it for sure after I get the new turbo in. Might have to upgrade my fuel pump, again anyways. 

 

spec on new turbo to arrive any day now. made for 4 cylinders specifically and can make up to 800hp. Wanna take those smug faces off those Asian import race car drivers (not the ethnicity but the automobile manufacturer just to be clear in case I worded it poorly) at the 1/4 mile drag strip and take home some extra cheddar *wink*

Well your guibos probably won't last long behind that kind of power. 

 

Should be fun though.

[TobyB]

That's absurd!  I'm jelly.

 

I made an oval section out of some 2" and some 18 gauge- added about 1.5 inches of width, if I remember right.

The transitions were... well, custom.  You can do it to elbows, too, if you cut carefully.

(this was before ebay...)
