thisismatt Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Since you're welding aluminum already, what would be the downside to cutting and rotating the TB down and to the side, other than having to reconfigure the cable pull? Quote Link to comment

sr311det Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Looking at some of the pics for the pluming on the cold side you should use a hump hose to give your engine more freedom to move so your pluming won't crack. Also on your cold pipe I would have utilized a 90 elbow to tighten the bend up on the bottom and then get a 2.5in donut for the top part. You would have to get a 2.75 to 2.5 trasition hose for the throttle body but 2.5in bends are much nicer to work with and cheaper. This is a Donut I found for my project. 2.5in aluminum 6061. You will need to weld the inside seem together after you cut what you need out of it. http://www.racepartsolutions.com/products.asp?cat=137 Quote Link to comment
