Anybody out there with a Turbonetics kit on an auto? Am I doing something wrong here, because I cannot get the intake to fit on the kit. It rests on the ic pipe and the ic pipe is resting on the transmission. Unless I smash the pipes there is no way to get the kit to fit on the car.

 

Mine fits just fine.

Perhaps a picture of what you are describing?

Aren't you in Houston?

 

Yes I am, I am gonna end up going to Turbocharger.com and spending even more money to have them fab one.

 

 

Very curious. Perhaps a different radiator pipe.

Let me go take some pictures real quick.

Where are you abouts? I could drop by your place tomorrow to lend some more brain cells to see if it can be fixed without fabrication.

And since when did the Turbonetics kit come with orange IC pipes?

I see that Artisan coupler. You get that from Turbochargers.com as well? Because as far as I know, thats the only place you can get them.

 

They are Chevy Red pipes...

I pull a 8am-midnight @ work tomorrow so no go tomorrow. I am located in Katy. i changed the radiator pipe already and put a longer one with a drop, it was much much worse with the Scion radiator hose. It's not the problem with it hitting the radiator hose it's the fact that it's sitting on the I/C pipe down there. I have tried pushing it lower and cannot get it to budge. It is almost like the Turbo is in the wrong place. My I/C pipes are pushing on the fans right now too.

 

Here's my pipes:

 

Did you get those pipes anondized or something?

 

Your turbo looks like it's 2 inches higher than mine...

 

Not anodized just rattle canned. UPS destroyed the pipes so bad when I unmangled them and poped dings they were beyond repair so I just painted them.

 

I'll get a better picture of the turbo so you can gauge the height better.

 

The turbo is under the radiator top. The bolt lip thing is under. Yours looks like its over. Could it be the transmission dip? I tried to bend it but the lower pipe is resting on it still.

 

Hope these help.

 

It's higher but barely maybe like 1/4in... Gotta be cuz i'm automatic

 

deff should go out to garrett's house, i can meet you guys there and help out. Iv got a few things i can do to make what you need if anything.

 

And how much are you going to be boosted?

 

8psi on a small turbo but I have a tru-boost so I can dial it down if it is too much after a tune. I cant drive it right now I need to get a new AEM FI/C harness, mine is el broke-o. Gonna be maybe friday before I can get the part I need to get her running.

EDIT: still need to find a place to mount my gauges and tap my pan too.... etc etc etc etc

 

I can weld the oil pan fitting and hook the gauges up (very small fee though)

 

That I can do but thanks for the offer. Wouldn't be able to get you to do it anyways unless you drive down to katy. My trailer got stolen when I was living at my old townhouse.

 

i could if the price is right...katy is pretty far
