EZ-E Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 That really looks great, I wish it could be done with a S130, but to do that in a S130 seems impossible, as it would be nice I really dont see anyway to do a 3 inch from the turbo back in there. I guess us S130 guys will just have to deal withe 2 90* bends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffp Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 So is this something you came up with one day? Seems I have built about 18 pieces, sold 16, kept two for myself, in fact thare are a few complete systems out there for the ZX cars, complete. To bad though, I was trying to market those units to MSA a few years back for 850.00 complete and they said there just would not be the demand for the system. Well I got my system completed, and two other guys as well. I wish you luck, I would not worry to much about two 90 degree bends as it really doesn't detract from the flow. How do I know this, well lets just say I did a little more testing then just welding pipe together and hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 These designs can easily be tested, a simple pressure tap at turbine outlet and where the DP joins to exhaust. Use copper line to wick heat away and attach to your boost guage with a slip on end. In the end nothing beats real world testing !!! It's good to see everyone is trying to optimize a great design. The huge difference will be going from stock to a mandrel bent aftermarket downpipe. You will gain better spoolup and maximum horsepower, it's win/win. Keep up the great works guys !!

EZ-E Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 So what ever happened with these? Are you still going to make them or is it a bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I just finish installed Jeffp's pipes. Jeffp's pipes are excellent in both design and attention to all the details. I would recommend it to all the ZXs guys out there. I didn't get the whole system because I was going to run 2 pipes exit in the back but then I changed my mind. I had to finish up the cat back pipe. What a PITA. I regret that I didn't get the whole system from Jeff. Luckily I had all the right tools and some good help from my brother. I had pictures on another post please check it out. I would suggest you one thing though .. no need to reinvent the wheel. Also I would love to see a 3" pipe with 2 45 degrees that will fit the 280ZXs. Thanks Jeff...

Adimir Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 does he make these for everybody or was this for a friend type thing..i would really like a 3", i was going to make my own out of mild steel but i think its too weak, and i have nothing to weld SS with here so thats not an option... does he have a website with this stuff on for pricing etc... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Jeffp still have 1 or 2 extra sets. Do a search for his name here and you should be able to find his web site. He did a build for a bunch of people awhile back. He still should have the blue print or design for his system some where. Good luck V.
