Yes it's 2.5. I bought a big 90 degree coupler, 10" on both sides, so I basically had a lot of choice on how much I wanted to cut the pipe off.

Do it, it's so much less of a pain in the ass. Can make it fit exactly how u want it to

So you just cut the coupler? To get it to align correctly?

Nope.

Cut off the curve on the end of the charge pipe. The angle on it is wrong and so it the location. It puts the connection about 1.5" passed the IC and about 20 degrees off. Impossible to fit it.

KY charge me $80 shipped for a full rebuild on my clutch. They charge $150 if they send you a new TOB as well.



OTTP Stainless Steel Clutch Line.
Fits like a glove and installs in seconds since the car is already apart.
Highly recommend this part; especially when you already have the trans pulled anyways.



I will do a full review on this part like I do with all of the "on the fence" parts people always seem to ask, "is it worth it?" once I have the clutch bled.

Everything is back together except for my passenger side. I am awaiting a knuckle from Mongo to finish that.

Supacharged06's car is still sitting. I think we are going to pull the bad block and trans out the weekend after christmas. He received his gen 3 2.1 from Mongo and LSJion finished his built head. We are going to install the entire motor and trans together from the bottom. Should be fun times.

Dont destroy your stock lower cp because you may need it if your zzp doesnt fit like mine.

I will post a pic now of what I mean.

u cut the lower zzp pipe, cut off the 90 degree part and however more u want to cut and use a 90 degree coupler that u also cut to size.

Nevermind. I cant get one it is too dark.

Basically, the pipe extends passed the IC inlet and the curvature is wrong so it will never line up. Cut off the ZZP bend and just use a 90 degree coupler instead.

Emailed ZZP.
As if the improper fit wasn't enough, it get worse.
Walking into my house I notice a sheered off bolt on my floor. I looked around some and find that the MAP sensor bolt snapped off. Awesome. Car never even ran yet the sensor sheered the bolt head off. The MAP port was too tight and the pressure from the seal trying to slide back out snapped the bolt clean off.
So, basically, I now have a pile of scrap I paid way too much money for. I can't even get the stupid thing out either since I installed it with the subframe out. No matter how I turn it, it is not coming out. Tips? I really just want to throw this thing in the trash/send it to ZZP and get something different.

Where did you find this? I cant find one that long.

This pipe is a piece of ****.

tomj77

iTrader: (2)

ill see if I can find u the site. the pipe is good for me except for the not fitting. had no issues with map hole I just had boost leaks at the map and maf holes, nothing that e6000 didn't fix.

I pm'ed u

Haha share the info on where you got that coupler at i might need it since i got zzp lower pipe.

blueLNFftw

iTrader: (16)

I will PM you.

But I would return it if you can. Not one function of the entire pipe does what it is supposed to do.

blueLNFftw

iTrader: (16)

I decided that instead of paying $50 for a coupler to make this piece of **** fit, I am going going to cut it in half and spend $5 on a regular straight coupler instead.

Still have to retap all of the holes since the threads pulled out though.

And now I have Bill Hahn telling me that MAF relocates are bad for the car and that the MAF cannot handle the pressure or heat from being inside the charge pipe.

What coupler were you spending 50 on?

blueLNFftw

iTrader: (16)

A 90 degree 2.5" coupler with 10" legs on each end.
I found a hump coupler that will work just fine. Cutting about 1" of pipe out of the middle of the charge pipe and installing it that way instead. $7.

Been bouncing emails back and forth with Zoomer @ ZZP about the charge pipe, hopefully they can make it right for me some how.

For now I am going to install the stock charge pipe again and wait. I want to see what ZZP says before I go cutting up the pipe.

Clutch is gravity bleeding right now and will be vacuum bled after work. Filling the trans, installing fuse box, and hopefully getting an answer from Mongorat about my knuckle. All I need is that knuckle to have the car back on the ground.

Also, the LSJ is sold. I kept the wheels and gave it up for $6500 cash. Go figure the car realizes it is sold and popped ABS this morning. DS rear wheel bearing so I am going to replace that for the new owner.

Foot right into my mouth.

Matt at ZZP is really taking care of my charge pipe issue. Huge props to ZZP for helping me out on this problem.

They've had this pipe issue for some time, how are they just now fixing it?

blueLNFftw

iTrader: (16)

They are just gonna fix mine. I'm sending it to them so then can cut off the bend, bead it, and send it back with a 90 degree coupler that fits.
