xanmanz31 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ok so I've been working on my 87 NA2T swap for a while I have hit a snag bc my turbo has a 4" inlet and I need to find a pipe with about 2.5 - 3 inch length before it makes a 90 degree bend to clear the motor mount any ideas?

stprasinz Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) solid mount with a air inlet through it :)I got one. Needs a new bolt welded to it, but bolts up perfectly!!! So it can be done... I'll weld a new bolt and get it 100% bolt on for the right price..(its a 3 inch pipe, so a 3-4 adapter would be needed... And for the right price, I can throw mine in on that also....

SATAN Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Find a 4" filter that fits and convert to a blow through MAF setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanmanz31 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Find a 4" filter that fits and convert to a blow through MAF setup. Explain blow through maf. Like just let it sit without plumbing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SATAN Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Explain blow through maf. Like just let it sit without plumbing it What? No... Instead of putting the maf in front of the turbo to where the turbo is sucking air through it (like OEM)... Put it somewhere on the intercooler plumbing where the turbo is pushing air through it. Preferably after the intercooler for cooler air being less stressful on the maf. This makes it to where the only plumbing in front of the turbo, is the air filter itself.

I have seen that done in my case I'm not running an intercooler yet I had thought about putting it between the turbo and the throttle body. There's just not a whole lot of room I have been considering a 90 degree coupler off the turbo to a pipe to the maf. I've been looking at a few different setups on redz31.net with a possible different motor mount but I'm unable to make something like that.

evildky Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ditch the maf and run megasquirt and then you can put a filer directly on the inlet, but it's still a tight fit, I had to remove the motor mount to put the fiter on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
