2'' piping

[talon_frost]

is 2'' piping too small for a big 16g turbo with 17psi? on a fmic?

No. On my 98 I'm running 2'' piping on a GReddy FMIC, EVO III 16g and a few other accessories at 22psi. Golden.

Why 2" and yes it's to small, at least go with 2.5"

2'' is small. atleast get 2.25 or 2.5, so you dont have to go bigger later on donw the road.

2" is not too small for a 16g. But, if you ever do intend on upgrading later down the road I would just do 2.5" and call it a day.

Stock piping is bigger than 2" right?

 

[dsm_Crazed]

Of course its small. He asked if he could do it, the answer is YES. You work with what you have. If you're not planning on doing much to it later, that will be fine. If you know you WILL be upgrading later, then sure, get the bigger piping now.


But like I said, he asked is it TOO small, and no, its not. How many people run Big 16s on a stock side mount? I've done it. Stock piping sure isn't 2.5''. Say all you want, but you can do it, and you might have some heatsoak issues, but my 12.8 time slip will back up the fact you can do it with 2'' piping.

I don't think it is too small either. Your turbo will spool quicker!

How big is the inlet/outlet on the FMIC?

 

[talon_frost]

the fmic inlet and outlet is 3'' its a actually a pretty big intercooler, i was justt wondering ill make it 2.5 just to be safe thanks
