te04h compressor questions

[wallace]

Hey, I want to replace the factory air box with a conical filter and associated piping. Also the discharge off of the compressor to the throttle body is soft and needs to be replaced. I was going to fab up a hard pipe for that as well. My question is what size is the compressor discharge and compressor inlet so I can order the silicon connectors. Thanks.

The outlet should be 2" OD. I am not certain, but the inlet is most likly 2.5" OD.

Hey, thanks. The throttle body opening looks to 2 1/2" so I will get a 2 to 2 1/2" coupler for the outlet and just a 2 1/2" coupler for the throttle body....does that sound right?

Actually, i believe the throttle body is 2.25". The outlet of the turbo is 2" though.

I'm not sure what kind of piping you plan on using, but make sure you don't use pvc; especially in a non-intercooled setup. That little mitsu turbo heats up the discharge air REALLY well

yea dont use PVC... use abs! as long as you jb weld in some exaust pipe where the clamps are it works great!

Where did you get your ABS. I checked HD and a couple other places, but they did not have it. Only PVC. A little late now, but it would be good to know incase I am ever in a pinch.

I was going to use mandrel tubing. I have some 2" left over from an exhaust project. So a 2" coupler for the compressor discharge and a 2 1/4" to 2" adapter at the throttle body. Thanks.
