BLANG BLANG: Rico Got A Coldpipe

[rico05]

Freaking finally. Now I just need to buy a GReddy hotpipe and find some monkey to weld my ARC bov to it and then I can be uber BLANG BLANG #1 Dorifto Tyte. I am thinking painting the piping to match my Nismo STB. I dunno. It may clash too much with the pink valve covers I want.

Custom made in Japan for a guy I found on eBay. I IM'ed him, and now he is canceling the auction and ship it to me! Yippie! 2" (1.75" stock) and 2.75" outlet to TB. Weighs #2 as well so that is nice.

What kind of shop would I go to to get a flange welded onto a aluminum hotpipe for my ARC BOV? They will have to make the flange and all. I am going to sell my Q45 brake setup to have aluminum piping. My brakes are good enough

[WeldingHank]

any decent welding shop.

[NeedCAforS13]

radiator shop... they can weld alumiunum. or try a race shop. wherever Korey goes to get his stuff done

So you're the one that won that auction...

[NeedCAforS13]

Now I just need to buy a GReddy hotpipe...

no! doesn't fit right... even with an SR turbo. I'm using a stock SR hotpipe right now, but it has some flex with the couplers. My cusco hotpipe, and my Enjuku Hotpipe both were not shaped correctly to fit in there!

I have an SR hot-pipe, but it doesn't fit like it does on the SR. it sits kinda cockeyed.

[NeedCAforS13]

what turbo, and what hotpipe?

Hot pink valve covers hunh? That'll get the boi's for sure! You'll be a hit among the softer persuasion of guys! Just remember, lots of lube and a reach around. Everybody's happy...

I happen to like pink. For a man, it is a very liberating color. I have 3 pink shirts and I am considering getting a pink pair of my favorite driving shoes (Chuck Taylor All Star)

That is odd that the hotpipe don't fit. I had a GReddy SR one for a few weeks that I held up to the stock one and it looked pretty close. And Korey is 3 hours north of me.

[WeldingHank]

stock turbo, greddy hot pipe.

[NeedCAforS13]

ahh yes, with a front mount it works fine. but try fitting a cold pipe back up beside that and you run into problems!

its only about 1/2 inch longer than a stock CA, but when you see how tight the two SMIC pipes are in that area, you'll realize you can't be 1/2 inch longer.

as you can see, my stock SR hotpipe doesn't even fit perfectly with the CA coldpipe. They're at different angles, but it works pretty well.

So all that it needs is about a 1/2 an inch taken out of it? What ever shop that welds the BOV on could surely do that for me I assume. Anyone want to take their stock hotpipe to a shop for me and make me a hotpipe?
