Is this j pipe facing the wrong way?

[jwahl16]

I recently bought a 16g turbo and o2 housing with everything attached (oil lines, j pipe). I was looking at my blown t25 today and then noticed the j pipe on the 16g points inwards towards the car. I have no idea how the intercooler piping would hook up to it. Am i right? If so how do i arrange it to line up properly and what not?

Looks like it fires towards the drivers side, which would be setup for a FMIC.

Are you still using the SMIC?

That J-Pipe looks like the Punishment Racing J-Pipe that I have. It's setup for a FMIC. If you still have the stock SMIC then you'll need to get a J-Pipe that will put the opening on the passenger's side of the crossmember. Then you can just put a 90* silicone coupler on it and position it so it faces the SMIC. Let me take a look in my stash of random parts... I might still have one laying around.

Blah, i was supposed to put this in tomorrow, i guess not. Theres no adapters or anything i can add to this?

You COULD cut it shorter to clear everything and put a 90* coupler on it facing the SMIC.

I don't think i want to do that. Do you have a link to the j-pipe i need for stock smic? And do i still need a coupler? If so can i have a link to that too? Thanks.

This one would work:

ETS 95-99 2G DSM Eclipse/Talon 14b/16g J-Pipe - Modern Automotive Performance

or if you can find the one that is in this kit by itself. But , you might need the whole kit for your turbo anyway. So, this might be a good option.

Forced Performance 16G Install Kit (2G DSM) - Modern Automotive Performance

the second link j pipe looks the same as mine except i guess it has a different angle. I have the oil return and feed lines as you see in the pic.


EDIT: Looking at some pictures of the fmic j pipe installed it looks like if there was just a 90 bend on the end it would be level with the smic. You sure this isn't possible?

Does anyone know how to modify the stock piping to fit this?

hey if you get a new j pipe can i get yours heh

This is exactly what you need man.

since you already have everything else for the install.

 

[jwahl16]

Ok, thanks, before i go and buy anything like that, is there any other way to do it without spending $100?

 

[jjrock5]

You can just hack the existing Jpipe (theres nothing wrong with that Jpipe btw) you'll prbably have to buy a few extra couplers like a 90* one and stuff, be creative. At that point you may already be at the $100 point. Just go out and buy the Dejon piece man.

I have a stock j-pipe on mine right now just buy some couplers and pipe and it'll work. I wouldnt hack that one up. sell it. I am looking for one now and its a pita to find one. so I'm in your shoes I have a perfectly good fmic but cant install due to not haveing the correct j-pipe. but then again when I get this 2.4 done I'll be switching over to the 50trim and it will be obsolite so I'll just live with smic for now.
