eBay Motors: 90-94 Eclipse 1G DSM O2 Housing Dump Tube Pipe 4G63 V2A (item 270209751763 end time Feb-12-08 20:45:11 PST)


Hey guys my brother has a 93 talon tsi awd, he wants to buy this o2 dump off of ebay.
Because he likes the sound of mine, but he has the punishment racing FMIC that came on sale during january. does anyone know if the dump tube will fit without rubbing against the intercooler piping?? thanks guys

Probably the best way to check is to take a ruler and hold it against the stock one. I'd say the dump tube is about 4-5 inches. I'd also say it sticks out about 1.5-1.75. Just some rough figures.

If it get on the way of the IC pipe, just cut it and get a bendable tube to go around the IC pipe.

 

[AWD_Boosted4g63]

well that's a duh, but he wanted it to look clean and professional w/o having to modify it,
Thanks guys

It should fit fine,you might find out that the dump pipe is too short and will end up lengthening it.Plus the angle its at is pointed right at the slave cylinder.Just some things i have noticed with dump 02's.

Have you had any trouble with it dumping right on the alternator? I heard that it could burn up your alternator, because of the hot exhaust

 

[AWD_Boosted4g63]

no man not at all, it clears the alternator 100%,

 

[El Cuervo]

I wouldn't get it. If he as a 1g and has a 3inch exhasut, most likely he will have problems bolting it on because the flange that mates with the down pipe is much too angled. On 1gs the cross member is behind the radiator. Meaning that the dump tube will dump on top of the cross member and not exit to the atmosphere. Well, it can be helped if you guys are willing to modified it. Make the dump tube longer and dump safetly to the atmosphere, make the actual housing tube form turbo flange to dp flange a bit longer and reduce the angle a bit.

The ebay dump tube does clear the alternator. I think all of dump o2 housings do. But on a 1g, again they will dump right on the cross member and will make a mess leaveing everything dirty. I personally have the SLS o2 dump and really like it. It goes around infront of the dp and dumps on the left side of the dp (passenger side). The tube comes very close to the right fan but it does clear ir. If you have a FMIC then it might not fit.

 

[AWD_Boosted4g63]

yes you are correct, it does blow a lot of exhaust onto the crossmember, i am considering taking it to my local muffler shop to have it extended either past it, or maybe even further like a side exit, that would be pretty cool, dumping right beside a mustang, and by right beside, i of course mean way in front

 

[El Cuervo]

Yeah that sounds awsome but then the thing is that instead of a mustang you find out that it was a cop.To make it worse, it so happends that you have a stutter box and you are spitting flames that the cop's car. I wonder what would happend Yeah just take it to a muffler shop and have them extend the pipe and angled it a bit different. Thoes ebay dump o2 housings are very pretty and all. I won't deny it but they suck. At least that was my case.

 

[AWD_Boosted4g63]

yeah, just hope you don't hear you dumpin to atmosphere
I all of the cars i've seen dumpin have been off of ebay w/ no problems
it's all opinion and every car is different right

 

[HighBoostLaser]

i just got my O2 dump gonna install in tommorow

 

[El Cuervo]

Yes you are right about that. Most cars are different. I'm just giving my opinion based on first hand actual experience. It is a good o2 dump housing IF you are a 2g or if you are able to modify it. I have the SLS on my car now and the ebay one is laying somewhere in me garage.

Just FYI don't use the bolts that come with the o2 dump. I did and even with lock washers they would loosing up.

But the fit is good and even with my 3"dump everything clears nicely.

Yeah, i had that problem, but for $1.50 at The hardware store, that was fixed easily



Hey Cuervo, do you have a picture of your engine bay, w/ the dump installed???
