TIP Fitting mucked up

[Big_daddy]

Hey all just got my TIP today from forge.
Read the guide and i come with a problem, ive removed the old intake witheasy but having problems fitting the new intake on.

i cant take the 8mm nut of for pipe for the heater, think i worn it out.

So far i tried it the hard way and sqeeze the pipe down the tight gap. Im having trouble getting the pipe on to the turbo.

If i jacked the car up will i get a better acces to the turbo inlet to get the pipe stuck on? got 40% on, the rest just cant get around it

Ive jsut left the car i peices and will continue in the morning as it getting dark, im tired spent 3hours tryin to do it. plus my knuckles are herting now

Thanks

Little bit of oil around the edge and it should go in with ease.

Its just that the intake is stuck agains the heater pipe. The top part of the pipe aligned with tubo and bottom is sort of bent, cant get it to starighten up for it to go on. Think if i try from underneather wil i get more acces to the turbo inlet as its quite restricted from the top for my hands to sqeeze in

Thanks, in this guide, it dont suggest any thing about loosing the heater nut. Think i got it figured, have to do it from underneath the car as i should be able to get it on better with more space.
i rate the quality of the inatke pipe, strong and durable. Ive also noticed the new TIP get easily dirty. Mines looks second hand now

yes the heater pipe needs to be remove and is a pain to get to as well but i would suggest geting under the car and trying to ease the bottom part of the tip on that way first. i couldnt get my tip past the heater hose so you have done the tricky bit

Have my weetabix and give it ago in the morning, wish nothing breaks in the process

 

[Romeoisgraham]

good luck, let us know how you get on and post some pics.

To get mine on the turbo I got underneath the car with a small crowbar and forced the bstard on, it is a bit of a pig

 

[Big_daddy]

Fianly got it done

Finally got the b**sterd fitted Lost abit of blood with amount graves and cuts but glad its done now.

Abit messy with tools around but my phone was dying so took a quick shot for now

Quick questions, cany any one spot something wrong?

Guna do some logs to see any different with the air flow and any pressure increases.
So far the car feels slighty different and my dv has changed sound slighly.

My cover dont fit now

 

[benjiwales]

Yeah the cover won't fit, lol. Shame as I bought a carbon fibre one too

As for is there anything wrong, I can see you have the DV and N75 plumbed in but what about the other 'branch' with nothing in it nearest the maf (as you can tell I don't know what should be in there, but I'm sure i plumbed something in to mine)

The DV should now make a lovely whoosh noise (if you like that kind o thing)

 

[Big_daddy]

nah the dv and n75 are fine, the oil breather is behind the dv so its hard to see, well the sound of dv has changed slighly.
Took it out for a blast against my starlet, it made quite a different in the spool up time and the top end peak.

Keep guessing tho

Good job! It looks good, I cant see anything wrong? the wires on the N75 look a bit tight. Ahh hang on, Your MAF is upside down

 

[danieltm]

Where is the thicker blue pipe in the bottom right of the pic going to?

You got it .
i stuck it the wrong way round. put everything back, done a TB alignment. started the car, the traction light came on. States maf signal too low. Got puzzled, ii didnt droop it o anything. exmaned it then put it back on. still the same, taught thats another 80quid going
20 mins later clocked on its the wong way round.

Thats going into ther airfilter, thats auxialry pump thingy.

 

[danieltm]

Is there any way you could cut a piece of the engine cover out so it would fit?

 

[ADAM_84]

you can turn the dv round so the cover should fit on, i had to do it with mine and everything works fine and the engine covers fits on nicely.

Think you can cut a corner off, i cant be asked it may look tatty.
