adapting problem...

[sd_ff22]

Ok, so I work in a metal shop I like to make as much of my own stuff as I can (radiator mounts, bov adapters) but I have run into a problem. I just got a great deal on a set of greddy hard intercooler pipes, but I don't have a greddy bov. I would like to get these in and retaian the use of my 1g bov for the time being.. ok no problem, just make an adapter, right? I can't seam to find a way to get a greddy flange to work with a 1g bov with out drilling the bov of messing up the greddy flange. is there a premade adapter for this??
oh by the way 99 gsx, right now has stock intercooler cooler pipes and 1g bov with home made adapter.

Why not just cut of the greddy flange and weld on a 1G?

Yes I could do that... but I don't want to. I want to retain the greddy flange because when I have some money I will get a type s. but untill then I don't want to just have these nice pipes sitting around stareing at me saying "look at us!! put us in!!"

Hmm, if you don't want to cut off the Greddy & weld on a 1g, thats a tuff one. If it was the other way around, there would be no problem. The only thing I can think of is get a Greddy flange, a 1g flange, take a short length of steel tubing and weld a flange on each end. The only issue with doing this would maybe be hood clearance?

 

[sd_ff22]

I was thinking of making the two flanges, and If I was to do that, tilting the pipe a little forward to help hood clearance. Hopefully I can keep it one piece if I do make it.. I was just thinking of a 1/4 inch place drilled and tapped on one side for the greddy bolt holes and on the other for the 1g bolt holes... maybe..
