06_ion2

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

wtf? i didn't ******* know that. i gotta fix this ****.

06_ion2

I know the feeling. You working on it outside too?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

yeah. i gotta get the damn pipe welded woth the maf facing the other way. i'll post a pic in a second.



will that work am i still shooting in the dark?

06_ion2

Theres a yellow arrow on the black plastic part near your thumb. That arrow shows the direction of flow.

Spanky's Monkey

i know. there's a 45* hose right before the maf. i figured cut out the bracket and weld it in so the maf faces into the tube instead of facing out at the end......i got a feeling that's not gonna work.

06_ion2

Yeah it wont work I bet.



Thats where I got mine in a strait pipe section. Humm. If only I could see it in person.

Spanky's Monkey

i got an easy fix i just need a 2.5" 45* hose. its a set back but you gotta pay to play.

06_ion2

Yeah exactly, my cars sitting till I get my oil breather cap. It sucks but I know ill want to boost if I take it out and thats a no-go.

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

i'm not worried about boost at all i just wanna get to work. yeah i know, it's a daily driver thing.......like i said pay to play.

yeah i see you got some inchs before the maf. one last thing to deal with.

mkriebs

Did you get that to work Q?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

it works but i need to get my maf situation straightened out. car won't stay running

mkriebs

Cool! Glad it works bud! Did you retune for the MAF?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

yeah but i didn't leave enough breathing room before the maf. i'll be needing another 45* hose. such is life.

mkriebs

Awww damn. I wish I had another one bro!

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

it's cool. i had no idea the maf required unadulterated breathing room.

mkriebs

What about flipping the pipe around?

Oh, its bent, disregard that thought.

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

the bend isn't the issue the fact that the maf fits one way and one way only is. i'll get fixed soon just not as soon as i would like. but she turns over code free before it dies.............so i'll be ordering 2 hoses and 3 tbolts

mkriebs

Well, what about drilling and tapping the bung? Looks like it might be an odd shape, just throwing out ideas. Or, cutting the bung off and re-welding it? Is that a lower charge pipe?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

not enough meat to tap, i thought about that. rewelding was an idea as well

mkriebs

Well, I had an idea, but I guess if you are going that far, then to might as well do it right. I was GONNA say, what about just welding a bead onto it to tap to, because it look like you wouldnt have to add much to it. But, that would be a half ass way to do it, and might just be easier to reweld the whole bung. Who made the pipe for you?

Spanky's Monkey

iTrader: (6)

it's actually the pipe from the zzp kit i just intergrated the ebay kit in with the zzp maf and bov pipes. worked form the most part.

mkriebs

Oh, gotcha! Its just an ebay intercooler kit? Not bad. Do you still have the MAF port in the intake? Just stick it back in there and cap off the lower one til you can get it fixed.

I'm not sure I understand what you need the extra elbows for?

i may have a solution but it's raining to bad right now to wrench on the car. aaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
