HiBoost FMIC help

[Wiggles422]

I have all the pipes placed where they need to be. Does anyone have a pic of the S pipe, 45 degree bend and the BOV pipe? I cant get the BOV pipe (the pipe that connects to the throttle body) to fit the 45* pipe. It's about 4-5 inches off and I probably have some pipe facing the wrong way or something. Anyways any help is appreciated. Thanks.

(Attached is how far off my pipes are)

The S pipe has to go down. Then that 45 pipe goes back up.

hang on I'll try to snap a pic with my camera phone.

 

[I_Vtec]

Well my camera phone won't take a good pic. So I can't help you.

Still having trouble?

 

[Wiggles422]

Well, I tried to turn the S pipe down like you said but I would have to cut out the plastic splash shield, as it is in the way.
If I take the S pipe out, the 45* pipe looks like it would fit perfectly if it were about 4-5 inches longer.

 

[I_Vtec]

Well that's wierd. My splash guard wasn't in the way.

Sorry man. Don't know what to tell ya.

i'll try to help and see why it is'nt fitting right

You want a pic of all the piping on the car or on the floor? Gemme a sec to get them off the camera

 

[Wiggles422]

Here they are on the floor.

EDIT: Added a pic of the pipes on the car. If that pipe was a little longer it would fit fine.

Hey this is just a side question. Did you get those powdercoated from Hiboost or did you get them done after you got them?

 

[Wiggles422]

I got them done locally. With the Injen and BOV (GReddy) it was $155

 

[I_Vtec]

That looks awesome!!! I wish I had done that to mine.

 

[Wiggles422]

Thanks, I'm glad I decided to go ahead and get it done, eventhough I was anxious to get it put on. I figured if I didnt get it powdercoated now, then I would never get around to it later.

That's true. I thought about doing mine. But I was anxious to put it on. I was supposed to go to the strip the day after my install. But I have bad luck. So during the install I was putting the fan back in and it slipped. It hit my radiator and put a hole in it. So not only did I not make it to the strip but it cost me a good bit to fix it. I have the worst luck.

 

[Wiggles422]

Hopefully I wont have any more hold ups on this project.

Chris were you able to figure anything out from those pics? (on page 1)

 

[Wiggles422]

I think I got it all figured out. I turned the pipe down and it rubbed way too much, barely even fit. Then I readjusted all the pipes and somehow it fits now.

 

[I_Vtec]

Good going. Glad to hear it worked out.

 

[ARunto]

yup the S-pipe has to be going down...not up like you had it in the third pic.
