well this shop who i'm taking my car to tommorow to install my intercooler with piping has made this type of mod for one of their RX7 FC's....

from what i understand, since the manifold's exit comes out pointing towards the driver they cut that part off, made a new hold directly pointing towards the drivers-side fender and welded a plate to cover the other hole, they say this helps air flow and minimal bends for the piping....

what you guys think, i dont want them hacking my car and have it run like ****....

 

most pro kits have a new TB adapter tat does what they want to do. Costs about 100 dollars.

 

oh, well there gunna cut it and such, was wondering if it seams legit or i should say "uhh, dont do that"....

 

get higgis or Greddy's elbow, aound $100 and proven.

 

there doing something custom for $40, it looks good and decent....

they like, cut the part off and weld it to the side, something, i dunno it sounds fishy....

 

Got pics or drawing of what it looks like?
I have a hard time trying to imagine what you're trying to descibe...

Does anyone know where to buy a Greddy TB elbow?

 

basically the cut the side of the manifold where the inlet is, make a new hole that makes the air flow directly through the manifold and weld the opening where the inlet was originally shut....

 

I think he means they cut the inlet on the TB "cap" so that the inlet pipe is pointing directly twoards the drivers fenders and not the firewall/fender.

 

or you can get the plastic N/A elbow from the junkyard for 3 bucks. And it points towards the front of the car, so less pipe bending.

 

yea but you gotta modify the oil thing... There was a site that sells the tb elbow, I think its either kgparts or somewhere else where they sell the short shifters( I think the site belongs to a forum memeber).
