G.I For reverse y feed pipe for turbo setups.

[kzoosho]

Well recently i was approached by a friend that is a fabricator and asked if i knew any cars that wanted some aftermarket support(mainly turbo's and what not). Well any ways i told him that there may be an interest in my car and a cheap but reliable way to turbo a Maxima. We have talked and figured he could make feed pipes and downpipes. The only question i have is what do you feel would be the best placement for a turbo?

I know i like where mine is placed and have thought about making them around this but is there anywhere else that it could be placed without too much cutting or moving? As it sits he would be making them for 450 plus real shipping but price may come down if many are sold. As far as downpipe i kinda dont want him to make them since there are so many styles out there i.e V Band, 4 Bolt Garrett style, and 5 bolt.

I plan to leave it open to find out where there is an interest. Feel free to contact me here or on aim. Thanks for looking.

I know Hal had created this beauty as his latest incarnation before he sold his Max; it was a reverse y-pipe fed turbo with a small dual core radiator.

The work was done by a local shop called Auto Lab. They may still have the jig, but I don't know. I do know that they are known in the local area for great work.

Thats a forward y setuo and requires you to loose your a/c and run a smaller radiator. With the pipes i am going to make you loose nothing other than relocating the battery. This is where it be located.

I like the look of this one, but wouldn't it be better served if the turbo were rotated slightly to avoid the 90 degree angles right out of the snail?

Where is the intercooler located when using this placement?

Just my $.02

I personally think they way it sits is fine. Im sure you can rotate it but that will effect your routing of charge pipe. My intercooler is right up front.

I didn't look at the CAD drawings before I posted the last time.

I know on my STi you always tried to avoid immediate 90 right out of the snail when installing a FMIC. I'm sure the loss is very minimal. I would think that if you simply cut the top of the charge pipe off, turned it, and re-welded it you could reduce the need for at least 1 of the 90's.

You might even end up with enough room for an intake filter.

I would be interested in seeing some cost estimates involved with installing one of these bad boys.

The 90 out of the snail is almost not avoidable. even if you turn the snail you are going to have a 90. I choose not to run a filter but you can fab a cold air intake for it pretty easy. I use netting and thats it. As far as cost to install well you unbolt your stock y pipe bolt this one up and your are done. Atleast the feed side is. There is more to a turbo setup but this gets you one step closer.

the 90* shouldnt make that much of a difference to really matter. Look at stock sr's, theres a 90* elbow right out of the turbo.

The reverse Y with the turbo in the battery tray is probably the best way to do it other than a remote setup.

These pipes will now be tig welded. I hope to have the first one to show soon.
