i have a 87 turbo 2 i am installing a front mount intercooler the throttle body inlet is really shitty and does anyone know where to get a new inlet or does anyone have any pictures of one installed?

 

pick up an n/a inlet, you will need to modify the oil filler neck and pick up a 3" coupler to the size of your IC piping. you could also go with a Greddy T/B elbow or pick one up from Higgy which both run about $100 or the n/a is dirt cheap but can't handle huge boost.

 

i am doing the same mod what exactly should i do to modify the oil filler neck karack

 

cut it down about 2-3" but cutting it near the base of the tapered portion where it enters the middle iron and cut it near where the filler makes a 90 degree bend. grind the paint off and flatten the tubing and have it welded together and reinstall it into the block with some sealant on the compression fit tapered neck.

 

here is some pics of my ghetto *** temporary setup but you can get an idea of how the filler neck needs to be shortened and how it will be routed.

 

why cant i ever see any pics that you put on here ben

 

Two non-plastic options:

Higgi: US$100 including freight, 3" connection, cast aluminium



Guru Motorsports: A$160 (~US$120) plus freight, 2.5" connection, cast and machined aluminium

 

how could i order higgis tb i am ready for the purchase

 

Email your order.

higgi@rx7cz.net

 

thanks i emailed him i figuere why not just pay 100 for it than play with the n/a one and have to cut the oil filler neck plus lt looks killer

 

i buying today

 

I got one only took 10 days to get it and it fits nice but the inlet is a little closer to 2 3/4" than 3"

point is dont buy an expensive coupler untill it is in hand and you measure it.

 

Yeah it's not quite 3", it's 70mm, but a 3" coupler will work.

did you ask for 3"

 

Guys, size is 70mm as you see it in picture above
i dont make any other sizes, just this one
if you have original greddy FMIC piping, this is bolt-on issue, otherwise wait with getting proper coupler....

i never posted its 3", its misinformation - in my shop link you could find the picture with size

El Nene, i`ll have yours shipped asap, thanks!

 

Here is mine installed

is it the same one from HIGGI's

i just bought one

 

are sure bro because if so i wont have to by no transition hoses then...

 

looks like custom modification of stock elbow (cut/weld)

 

Plenty of others have done it, and I've never heard anyone have a problem. If you're worried just don't by the coupler until you have it in your hand like tinvestor said.

 

thanks for the pulley and elbow higgi i just recived mine today they look great....can i polish the throttle body elbow and if so how do u sugest doin it?

 

good to hear it came ok !

i have no real experience in polishing, i am sure there are some guys who could give you hint....its aluminium, its should go 'bling' very easy with some sandpapers or wire brushes
