DaNnY_LaD's IHI'd Cupra ( End Of a Eara 08/11/2009)

[PhilW]

I think Phil's spotted the same that I have - that the majority of the bend is made of straights.

Bingo.

 

[__B3NNY__]

I didnt notice that until now, but i did think the bend looked a little sharp and not very free flowing.

Awaits the Indians...

 

[jamiebennett81]

most certainly wishfull think...Bit like Jamies Gt2x Hybrid build when he started it 300bhp FTW....

Oppss...Il put the Hand bags away now...

Love you anton xxx

Going to Ditch the Revo stage 3 Idea as speaking to bill heard some storys On IHIs If they aint set up correctly Fail due to High EGT...

at "least" I had it RR to identify a number of issues with the setup

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Seems Right to me..

 

[m0rk]

Just rang him and spoke to him..

He said he's used straight as theres 2mm Room Between the rear engine mount and downpipe...He said he'll try and get some pictures to '' Shut the Internet Warriors up'' lol

He's Made enough downpipes and System so il leave it with him...I Can defo understand when he talks about the Lack or if any room down under there...

Im dreading taking the Bloody thing off...Hence why he's done it in 2 sections...

I'm glad that he thinks we're "Internet Warriors"

Shame I can't find the one that dan-ish fabricated, they were lovely - they even used bends & everything.

I'm sure room is very tight back there, that's part of the skill isn't it.

I think it'll give you hours of amusement to fit though - one arm at the top, one at the bottom - hope you're built like Mr Elastic

Havn't Updated my thread for a while...

My Full 3'' System Is nearly ready....

Got off the phone early with craig and hes nearlly Finished my Downpipe...But it was gobsmacked How lack of room he had to work with next to the Rear Engine mount...

Anyway this is the downpipe tacked together and he's making my 3'' system with No silencer up 2morro...Im over the moon with it..

Also My Front bumper is in the final stages of prebing just need some Gold smiths fine stopper then its gettin Primered and Keyed...

Piccys to follow..

does the guy know how he's going to bolt that bottom bolt on, now he's made no room for it? or weld a stud in there and bolt it from turbo side?

 

[MIkey kc]

oh yeah never spotted that! ouch thats gonna be a right bitch to fit! rather you than me danny

 

[jamiebennett81]

dunno, but if it was me, regardless of price, I would have got Bill to make it all up

all done under one roof, under one warranty and one central point if it goes wrong (look at the issues I have had is plenty enough warning to go this route) - this route for itself if stuff does go wrong and is easier to rectify issues

In alll fairness i dont think he was having a go at your mechanicle skills Danny, just the liability side of things if things go ti*ts up then you have no where to go to.

Hand bags away ladies

 

[PhilW]

You might know how to put it together but you aint a magician, i really cant see how youre gonna get that bottom bolt in at all.

indeed, he is very sensitive about these things

On all ihi set ups I've seen, the turbo has the top 3 holes threaded, and the bottom 2 hopes as clearence holes, so that the bottom 2 holes of the downpipe flange are threaded and the bolts go in from the turbo side.
Bill knows this, so I don't know why he asked the question.

[DaNnY_LaD]

Sure is...

Just very this minute got back and the Burble on idle is lovely...

Just Bleeding the coolant system atm to get rid of any air locks...And my Afr gauge is showing 14.6 on idle

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

Got it back and everythings but it wont idle with the maf plugged in...

Done some searching and can hear one of my injectors sucking air...So will done some searching 2morro..

The downpipe isnt that bad guys. Welding could be neater, but at least its tig'd rather than mig'd. I have a big dislike for mig'd custom downpipes. They dont look like cut straight pipes either.
