ST conversion hiccups.

[94 Leone]

Okay; so I'm converting my BH to ST; but running into a hiccup with the Y pipe it isn't reaching close enough to the turbo- so it's too short: I thought It was because of the V7 IC but it's not they're the same length. dad's propsing a block off the other inlet and use a single pipe: I'm not sure how that'd affect things, but The V7 intercooler is no longer and all the placements are identical. any offers of help?

Also the silicone intake is kinda just squeezing in under the manifold

thoes silicone pipes are a really tight fit no matter what car you put the on . as long as theres no parts touching it that is able to chafe it badly then it should be fine.

in the pic you showing is that where it sits? or does it come inline ?

Ive got to ask...why are you converting to twin over single? Im guessing its non turb shell.

Moneys on a typo

[94 Leone]

typo is correct lol sorry. yeah the Y-pipe doesn't reach to the turbo from the sitting point- i was just looking at some other places and it seems I'll need a 2-piece: I'm thinking Cut and 2" joiner on it. will be cheaper than whole new Y-pipe.

I have 2" joins in blue and black silicon if interested. Think you have my number?

[94 Leone]

I think that was my old phone. I'll PM you.

Actually if anyone has any pictures of up close vac lines and generally annoying sh*t- would be appreciated: so dad can calm down a bit lol. He's still adament i have to ditch the Y-pipe and block off the other IC inlet(he's getting frustrated at the whole conversion by this stage)... worst thing is- I have no job D: so I'm running off fumes.

would a pic of a v3/4 i/c pipe help at all?

[94 Leone]

I don't think so : I think my Y pipe is from 3/4 era but it's hard to tell...
