I'm considering an M2/ASP medium SMIC and keeping my Efini Y/crossover pipe. If anyone has pics of this set up, please post them. Thanks.

 

It is pretty much impossible to do without serious cutting and welding. At that point it is a better idea (and cheaper too) to run the cast ASP airpump pipe I designed. Available through ASP.

 

Not exactly the what you were looking for but i ran a CWR large IC with the efini Y pipe.
Had a custom made pipe made to connect the two.

It cant be done with out some custom fabrication, I dont see it being hard, or taking more than a few hours by a professional, all they'd need to do is make a pipe to line up with the intercooler end tank and the y-pipe and do some grinding on the y-pipe.

 

$175-200 value of Efini y-pipe + $50-150 labor
OR
$125 cost of ASP pipe that fits great.


In addition using the Efini pipe will add a couple of tight bends, bends are just parasitic losses.

 

This similar to how I would like to have mine, but I want to keep my battery in the stock location.

 

My AST now resides where my airpump once did. How would it work with that?

 

Pic of engine bay with AST...

 

Move the AST and get a smaller battery.

This is the old ASP pipe pictured. The new one isn't polished yet.

 

Tim Benton did this years ago with his ASP medium and Efini y-pipe, but I would listen to Jeff (usually a very good idea!).

Your extremely bizarre AST location will have to change, there is no way to route an ASP design with where you have the AST, AFAIK. Why would you mount it there next to the turbos?

EDIT: Oh, and listen to Jeff again. Get his battery tray with a 51R battery. Very good product and idea for running larger SMIC.

 

the new airpump pipe doesnt work with the efini cross over tube?


i thought it would work???

 

The airpump pipe replaces the crossover tube. The airpump pipe will not work the the y-pipe part of the Efini setup. The airpump tube needs the rubber coupler the stock y-pipe has.

 

What is your AST attached to? What other locations can I put it?

 

just eliminate it, its 10x easier

 

Not bizarre... I've seen several people mount it in that location. What ill effects do YOU think it will cause? Actual ill effects in nearly a year's time... 0 (zero).

 

Really? I've never seen anyone mount the AST there, in person or in pics. Why didn't you just mount it in the stock spot? With the ASP IC, many people mount it at the front of the passenger side engine bay. You may also be able to mount the AST to one of the IC pipes by using another clamp. This works great on my PFS and it's been in place for over 2 years and many auto-x/track events.

You can do a search under my username and PFS and AST to see pics of that mounting, if you are interested.

 

I did, but for some reason it would not sit correctly in the rubber grommet, so I found a better location for it.


Thanks, I'll check it out.

Nice, so the med ASP/M2 does fit with the 51r and m2 cold air. I probably could have figured this out with a search but was too lazy
