What is this called / Where does this go / What does this do? [MERGED]

[forcefed594]

This is probably a dumb question, but what is the part called that holds the front suspension in place and bolts up to the knuckle in a 1g? Does anyone know where i can find this part?

 

[ramsack]

it won't mess up the camber. the 1g fwd rear is non-adjustable, so if you somehow knock your rear out of alignment it will need to be heated up with a torch and bent back. it is a pan-hard bar. should be pretty easy to find. most of the cars i see in junk yards are 1.8 liters around here. any fwd 1g will get you the right part.

 

[TeclipseFTW]

So your saying the 1.8 1g's have the same pan hard bar? I hit a curb in the winter incase anyone was wondering... no bearing play And the axle is straight it just bent that bar and now I have uneven wear on one of the rear tires. I hope this part is cheap!

 

[ramsack]

that's what i said. and i would have the alignment check as well after you replace that bar.

The lateral bar or "panhard bar" is MB515450 -- it list prices at $52.03. If you can get a discount, it can be as low as 37.50 plus tax/shipping.

Thank you!

Ok so I have read through pages and pages on boost creep/spikes/leaks. I have perform a blt up to 20lbs drank a beer and still no change. I have a mbc yurned all the way down, and still hit over 15psi but less than 20psi. This next part maybe the way its supposed to be so here i go when I take off (normal driving) I watch the boost ga quickly come to zero then bam i would say 17/18 psi. So after double checking all my line from the mbc (which is ran to WG and to the compressor) I pulled it off and went i put a line from the compressor to WG and still stayed around 15psi the lil gauge can be a pain to read when your all over you lane because when it hits its all or nothing seems like. where did I go wrong or is it ok? t25 3inch O2 housing back wb190 stock injectors/fpr Running 2.5 ic piping hqs ssqv bov on smic

No boost leaks is a great start. Does it still run exactly the same with the MBC disconnected? If not, double check to make sure the MBC is installed in the correct direction. If it's hooked up backwards you'll see erratic boost that's impossible to limit. Try to be a little more clear with your descriptions of what's going on (i.e. how long it takes to go from 0psi at xx00 rpm to 17/18psi at xx00 rpm).

I have a boost leak where this hose meets the hard pipe that runs into the turbo. I'd like to know what this pipe and coupler are called in case I need to mention them in future threads.

Also, what kind of clamp is securing it (if you can tell). These pipes are ETS and so is the hose.

Any ideas on why the hose would leak if tightened down all the way? It only happens at 20+ psi.

Thanks

Failed to upload pic..trying again. (The little red arrow indicates the area that I am talking about)

It is an intercooler coupler and pipe or an intake reducer coupler. Also, it is a t-bolt clamp or you could use zebra clamps.

just find out the size of both sides and order from here, great stuff.

Thanks for the link.

no problem, and get that leak fixed. Is there anyway you could arrange the pipes to sit lower, like under the manifold and not right on top?

 

[99gst_racer]

Yup, looks like a reducer coupler and t-bolt clamps.

The reason for it leaking could be one of several. Clamps too loose, pipe(s) out of round, a tear in the coupler itself, etc... Feel around to see exactly where it's leaking from and you should be able to determine why it's leaking from there.

That's how they usually route the IC piping on a GVR4. They don't have much room down low like 1Gs and 2Gs do.

Is that not the best placement for them? I bought the car like this. I have been experiencing boost fade (mbc) is set to 22 psi and it drops to 20 psi by 4500 rpm then 17-18 psi at redline on my Big 16g. I am wondering if this could be the cause.

The car is a 91 GVR-4 so the fitment may be a little bit different. I believe this the entire ETS FMIC setup including pipes.

Thanks

Alex, that's how the VR-4s are routed from factory and for most aftermarket due to space limitations.


OP you can also use a spray bottle of soapy water to help determine more leaks and what may cause it. Perhaps part of where you think it's clamped on is actually not on the pipe at all.

ahhh that explains some of it

Damn ninja editing! I said it first

>> Just to toss it in.. make sure to spray your couplers with hair spray!

 

[slowgsr]

Tbolt clamps can sometimes 'deform' as well. I find they need to be.. tighter then you would think (or atleast tigher then I though), in order not to have a tiny leak. I always do a BLT when I put together a new IC piping setup, and the Tbolts need to be tight!

 

[bricksquad7]

im trying to find a pipe to fit my turbo. my intercooler hooks up to my intake manny and what part on the turbo, i have a boost leak and replaced every thing except for that pipe i know it doesnt fit so i need to find one that does

 

[ktgurl87]

pictures? i think you might be talking about the j-pipe, but i'm not totally for certain until you maybe take a picture of the piece you're looking for

 

[BIRDCLAWTSi]

I have to agree with ktgurl87, It sounds like the jpipe is what you need...


This is the stock j pipe(Actually called "outlet pipe")

[bricksquad7]

my turbo has one already i need to find a pipe that fits that and one that has a 90 degree angle that goes from 1 1/2" to 2.5"

 

[Tanro]

Why not get a proper J-Pipe?

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Dude just get a good j-pipe.. Why would you make it more coplicated then it has to be?

 

[donniekak]

What turbo, and intercooler setup do you have? Is it the stock turbo, or a mitsubishi td05h turbo?
