HKS J=pipe
« on: April 15, 2009, 05:14:00 PM »
Who edited the thread on the J-pipes? These are still available, I'll find the site I bought it from and post it.
I put one of the HKS units on my Capri the day before I cracked a piston. I think that is why I smoked it. I usually turn down the boost controller after I do intake or exhaust changes to see where I land, this time I didn’t. I will tell you it did make a difference in the way the engine ran, right up till it broke.
Lesson one TURN DOWN THE BOOST every time you make a change!

This pipe and the HKS go on the inlet side of the turbo - they are non-pressurized. You cannot attach a BOV to these. The flange is there incase you want to dump air from your BOV back into the intake pre-turbo.

That is how I have my system set up as a recirc. when you blow to atmosphere you have problems with momentary rich conditions. You might not pass emissions because of that but more importantly I normally run at high boost and to keep predet to a minimum I run a colder plug. In this case a rich condition may foul a plug. I like low maintenance. I try to get as much power as I can from the engine without sacrificing reliability.
