Im swapping a tII motor into my FB.

I need a forward pointing TB elbow,

help me out.

 

you gota make one yourself.... or you can buy the new greddy kit for $900 that comes with one...

some people use the N/A rubber/plastic elbow. it bolts onto the turbo TB and faces forward. but it's like 3-4". too big. and I don't like /rubber plastic for boost... it won't fit with P/S.

I'm not sure if you could modify that in some way to fit, but it looks fairly close.

Dunno though

 

not even close...

 

Oh ya, you're right. Its upside down. I was thinking FC's TB's were wider on the top and narrower on the bottom.


And its only a small picture, I can hardly tell :P

 

this is in a FB, I cant buy a whole kit. What would it cost to have the elbow made.

 

I don't know.. actully I've seen them for sale in austraila for around $100-150usd. they just come straight out sideways with 2.5" or 3". forgot the site though.

I'm gona just take a stock one and cut a 2.5" hole in the side and block the stock hole. and get a 2.5" pipe welded onto it.

 

The N/A elbows work really good. I had mine on for 2 years....and its hard plastic, so what! I run 20psi and no problems

You can't run P/S like the other guy stated, unless you run the IC tube under the P/S pump....You also have to chop the oil inlet tube so the IC will fit....

Any questions or photos?? bkapold@aol.com

 

Yup, NA one works perfect for me as well. Oil neck is now about 2" tall tho.

 

Don't get ripped off buying one.
Make it.
If you can't, get a shop to make it.

It shouldn't cost more than $50 to have a MINT one made.

 

BRAD A. gave me the idea of using the NA elbow and that thing works good. I busted 3 knuckles installing the silicone reducer though. LOL

 

So you got that reducer huh? cool!! ya it is a tight fit.

I just bought a BBK big bore TB that goes on a 5.0 Mustang w/ TPS .... I made a aluminum 3/4" plate that bolts to the RX-7 plentum, hollow'd it out in the middle, then drilled holes for the new BBK unit.... It should be pretty cool....Its almost like how a thick wheel spacer works w/studs...... I really hate Mazda TPS's and having a stand alone ecu I figured I try it....Why not!

The only reason I'm doing this is because of the junky Mazda TPS, or I'd stick with the N/A TB elbow thang....

That's what I will be doing. Large mustange single plate throttle body. Makes things a lot simplier, aids in flow for really high powered cars, cleans up the engine bay, and is cheap as hell to buy and replace if ever necessary. Plus it is unique

 

dont you loose alot of low end running a big single thottle like that?

other than that, seams like a good idea. Maybe ill do that.

 

I saw one made by HKS for sale on eBay a WHILE ago sell for ~80.

 

Brad. Yes i did..now i have to cut the damn oil filler. How did you do yours??..

 

FCTURBO2:

Its easy, cut the top of oil filler neck off (theads). On the bottom, the portion that goes into the housing? measure about 2" up from that and hack that off. Now if you cut them both straight and clean you can either weld the joints together OR JB weld it together.....It works just fine....
You can also buy a mini K&N filter and stick it in there too and you won't have to mess with cutting or anything.... Rotaries are pressurized from the bottom so no oil comes out regardless if there is anything in there or not
