Hot Pipe group buy

[4DRHTRD]

Just FYI that little pipe with the weird bend that is 2" to 1.5" goes to the front turbo to IC, not to the end of the pipe that attaches to the IC itself.
The pipe with the BoV mounts on it goes to the back turbo and has a 2" to 1.5" reduce and then 2" to the front pipe.

If you could take some install pictures or even write a How To I'd love it, I don't have an EB vehicle to put one on to do a write up and I know you LOVE doing those.

As always...... stay tuned!  :drive:

Can't wait to see them in AND for your trip to LMS!

Mine just arrived last week. Ended up going with a Turbosmart VeePort BOV and ditching the factory valves.

NOT looking forward to all the install time. Turbos, ic pipes, methanol, and downpipes. I have 2 weeks off around Christmas and New Years and most of that time will be in the garage. :-/

It should be fun!  Think of all you will accomplish!

We definitely will!  Congrats on the early Christmas.

Powder Coating completed.....



Since I work the next 2 nights, I'm gonna try to squeeze in some install time perhaps this Friday, early afternoon.

Depends on my mechanic friend's availability as well.

If not Friday, we discussed Monday for sure. k:

That's pretty!  I'll bet it will look sweet with the white intake and the carbon engine cover.

 

[BiGMaC]

Very nice PC on the pipes! :thumb: should look awesome on your SHO.

Looking forward to getting some installation pics... Plz  opcorn: I bought 4DR's and plan install in the next couple of weeks......

 

[bpd1151]

Thanks guys!

I  am looking to continue transitioning the black/white into & throughout the engine bay.

I believe this latest mod will further enhance that goal.

Besides the aesthetic improvements alone, I am also looking forward to achieving the reassurance that I won't be having to chase down any boost leaks once I update my tune for the ATP turbos.

As far as a "How-To" tutorial goes, no promises, but I'll see what I can do.

Oooh, pretty... Should look good under the hood.

Hurry up with the write up. I'm a little confused on some of this but would like to install ASAP. I'm going to do a little bit this afternoon. Starting with the throttle body to ic pipe

The Hot Pipe install should be pretty straightforward.  You are starting at a good place (pipe from intercooler to TB).  After you remove each piece, you re-install with hot pipe piece using the silicone connectors that are the right size, and appropriate new clamps.

I would have done an install pix, but I can't install until I get my silicone connectors & clamps.  They accidentally didn't send the connectors with the hot pipes..  Long story but they are now at my son's house in IA where I will be late next week.

I'm not really confused on pipe placement as I am on closing the BOV's to and hooking up all the vacuum lines for the Tial BOV. It also looks a little tight in the back near the rear turbo. Would rather have exact instructions rather than a trial and error.  I'll wait if you plan on doing a write up.  Not in a huge hurry. But want it on the car before the old lady sees the evidence that I've been spending money.

Midwest supposed to keep getting hammered, EBB.  Safe drive back to IA, for the hot pipe installation

I don't have the Tial BOV, which means my info wouldn't help you much.  Forgot about you getting 4 DR's.  He will have to walk you through it.  Did he send you the resistor to handle the stock BOV's?  The Nitrous hole across from the sensor in the pipe from IC to TB will need to be plugged, if 4DR didn't send a plug with the system.  Mine came with that hole also, but BPD's didn't.  What I found that fit is a 5/16" 24 bolt 3/4" long that I got at Auto Zone.  Came in a package of 3.  Because the threaded part needs only to be about 3/8" long ( length not available - bought shortest I could find), I cut it off before permanently installing.  Also used some sealant (oil resistant type) during final tightening.  I would have rather used a brass plug, but couldn't find any that small and with the correct thread pattern.  Before I actually install that pipe, I am going to drill a 1/8" 27 NPT hole  which is the size of my Methanol Spray nozzle(s). That  11/32" hole will be drilled in the bottom of the pipe as far forward as possible, just behind the silicone connector to the TB. I have the proper NPT tap for the threads  (from Amazon).

Leaving Tuesday.  First night just north of you.  2nd night near Rockford, IL ( business meeting Thurs AM) - and hopefully IA late Thurs Afternoon.  Snow I can handle... HATE ICE!

Mine came like bdp's. Without the hole. I guess I'll just have to figure it out. But it didn't come with resistors or anything. Just pipes and clamps and such. The way 4dr explained it, I should pretty much follow the steps for the VTA only change 1 parts of it. He sent it to me. But I like dummy proof so I can see it. And unfortunately the shops around here are geared toward imports so they look a little confused when I tell them what I got. Will see. Today's mod is the LMS down pipes. Car is on the rack now

Wish mine didn't have the hole... It is what it is.

Greg.....

I did NOT get the aftermarket BOV w/ these pipes.

As you can plainly see in my picture, I have the flanges to use the stock, electric BOV's.

Hopefully my mechanic friend finishes up plowing all the snow that recently fell.....

If so, we will be in aiming for install Monday morning.

However, I do work Monday and Tuesday night, therefore the soonest any right up maybe coming from me, would be Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

At the soonest.

But like EBB previously stated, the install looks fairly straightforward and merely involves removing the stock pieces and reinstalling the new pipes in the same spots.
