my charge pipes.

[2poor2tune]

i was wondering if 2" is big enough for my low budget boosted b16 project. i already have to 2" piping and dont want to pay more for the bigger stuff unless really needed. i plan on running it at 9 psi. daily on stock internals/ let me know if this is to small or if it will work ok or great thanks

[Hybrid1990crx]

that should be fine. you don't want too big or it'll lag more.

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

for daily use and stock internals its fine. Just make sure there arent to many tight bends in it. What type of BOV are you using?

[FrodoGT]

Yeah isnt your outlet 2" anyway? It would be pointless to go bigger, and 9 PSI sounds like an ok range..wouldnt go any more, and be careful with spikes.

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

yea spikes suck, make sure the wastegate is workin properly, and i reccomend greddy type s BOV or use a 1st gen eclipse BOV {make sure its uncrushed}

[2poor2tune]

yeah i was going to get the first gen eclipse bov with the flange pipe and just put it inbetween two pipes. and what is this eclipse crushed bov thing all about. i have seen it everywhere

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

1st gen bov are good for up to 20psi without leaking unlike the 2nd gen which leak at 12psi. What they do to the first one being that stock its a great bov when u run high boost they crush it and it holds more pressure. all u do is litterly crush it, like stick it in between 2 pieces of wood in a vice and use a vacuum guage what u do is crush it till the bov starts to open at higher boost jus cant crush it too much.

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

i would advise against crushing it though. If you need something to hold more boost greddy bov's are the way to go.

[Hybrid1990crx]

nothing wrong with crushing a dsm bov, and since hes only running low boost it'll be fine.

[2poor2tune]

thanks. guys and hybrid any luck finding that throwout bearing peice

[BiGwiLLswiLLy]

o no nothing wrong with a 1st gen bov, it'll be perfect for his set-up

[superbluecivicsi]

i ran 2.5 on my old b16 rex. id say go 2.25 if you have the funds. otherwise 2' is fine. what are your goals? what is your ic size?

[2poor2tune]

dont know what ic means but i am going for just a budget turbo b16 that can run 13s on the weekends when the boost is turned up. otherwise just a daily driver turbo b16 set at low boost. and if this helps my turbo is a t3/t4 to4e

[CRXperiment]

IC = Intercooler. Have you got one yet, they mount on the front and have an inlet and outlet. You have to make sure the inlet and outlet opennings of your intercooler are also 2" if your gonna run that size piping.

[2poor2tune]

oh yeah. i was gonna use the side mount eclipse one also. i cant amagine it being over 2" maybe 2" but not over that. i could be wrong tho. and thanks for all the help guys
