I will weld a tab on the bottom of the J and tie it in to the sectioned motor mount bracket as its about 1/8 from it now. Dont tie it to a frame support as the motor and turbo still need to move. |

Junior, where are you located, and can't that flange be bolted to the OEM manifold, using some bolts with tapered heads or studs? I don't see where it should be necessaary to weld it to the cast iron manifold. Maybe I don't understand something... Enlighten me, please... Bill, in Conway (central) Arkansas |

i am in south jersey. i am going to weld the flanges to their appropriate ends and bolting the pipe to the manifold. i didnt believe that the pipe would be sufficient to support the weight of the turbo by itself and was asking what others have done. when i look at pictures of peoples builds i cant really see anything besides the pipe holding up the turbo but knew it couldnt be so.

Junior, Thanks for the info, and by-the-way, I completely agree with your thinking.... and Charrlie's... it NEEDS some additional support! Bill |

Does anyone have any pictures of their j-pipe turbo setup and any bracing they did? I'm trying to find out how I want to mount my Grand National turbo on my slant. Thanks for any and all info! And from what I've gathered is that the J pipe is bolted to the factory exhaust flange on the manifold and then on the other end its welding on a turbo flange and bolting on the turbo? Yeah that doesnt sound safe at all to do without bracing it to somewhere to the engine...especially with how much I read of the cast manifolds liking to crack! Added weight to the cast manifolds sounds like a no-no without some kind of bracing but I dont know how I would brace the turbo to the engine. |

Brodie, This forum is not configured for pictures, but I have several pictures and a schematic of that setup that the designer, PISHTA on "for a bodies only" sent me. If you'll send me a blank email to Billdedman@hotmail.com I will send you those. Just let me know. Bill |

Junior; I sent them to you, but this forum does not have graphic (picture) capability. You'd have to post them on a different web page and post the URL here. They should be in your mailbox. Bill, in central Arkansas |
