Guys,
Quick and easy way to increase flow in your turbo plumbing! Noise maker delete... This is the noise maker. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...2c78860261.jpg Buy this from Lowes... https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...47cf693696.jpg Cut the tube and insert https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...228bc99103.jpg Hot side muffler delete... 2" OD aluminum pipe https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...f054b6f9f9.jpg Before and after! https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...6cfdd71f22.jpg Done! No obstructions in your air flow. About $15... |
Nice job!
|
Genius, I just paid $70 for an aluminum pipe with a sticker. I might just sent it back and go to the hardware store. Thanks for the great and simple idea.
|
Nicely done. +1 for ingenuity and rollin up the sleeves. :thumbsup: However, if the 2" tube doesn't have them already make sure to take the pipe and have a bead rolled on the ends. If the tube is cut straight it will blow off. Just one of those when, not if kinda things.

http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/tech...ad-roller.html I also used one of these to block off the noisemaker hole. Can't remember the exact size I bought, but it was a PITA to put in, but it and the bolt will not fall out. FYI, make sure the bolt comes through from the inside and the nut is on the outside. That way, if the nut comes loose, it doesn't fall inside your engine. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...6071f7a20e.jpg |

Napa has this part for $3.79. My local store had to order it because it is not a size they carry. The part number is 600-4004 and the name on the box is "Core Hole Plug". The number under the bar code is 19495 57533 7. I installed mine when I was walnut blasting the intake valves and it took a few minutes. I've had it on for a few weeks and have had no issues.
I put in my rebuilt turbo a few days ago and this plug popped out on the highway on my way home tonight. Had to get towed the rest of the way. I'll find another solution.... |

Follow up -
I put in my rebuilt turbo a few days ago and this plug popped out on the highway on my way home tonight. Had to get towed the rest of the way. I'll find another solution.... I ask because I had to use a hydraulic press to get mine in, before I even tightened the nut. :eek2: I can't imagine this thing popping out. In fact, I've had the charge pipe pop off a couple times until I updated to band-clamps. This thing is still in place. |

Was it just a stock turbo?Curious, how much boost were you hitting?

One could also buy a small pipe to replace the one that routes off to the noise maker as well no?
I definitely like your idea though. As far as the hot side resonator I ended up replacing the whole tube after having a little pipe that wasn't rolled. So under high boost it would blow off. |

Yes, that's correct. Installation was smooth....I'm not sure of the material, but it's not very flexible, but it isn't hard plastic. It came with new hose clamps.

Can you comment on what differences you felt \ noticed after this?
Thanks |

As for deleting the noise-maker, can a guy just cut a piece of tubing and clamp it in place of the piece that diverts to the noise-maker (like on the other one)? I honestly have no clue if this is possible or not, but seems like it would be a quick and cheap way to go, as opposed to spending $105 which is what that pipe is selling for now. I found another replacement option that costs $230+, and honestly, it looks like a piece of anodized aluminum tubing clamped between two hoses! |

So I’ll answer myself...lol
2-1/4” pipe. 2-1/8” would be a touch better, but near impossible to find in a short length. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...35ac2ece8.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...645c6f39e.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...2b4a128df.jpeg |

It seems like you could leave a piece of the hose going to the noise maker, insert on of these and then put a hose clamp on the tubing as well which would be solid.

I actually made the same insert as the YouTube video. You don’t have to cut anything. Plug and play! For fun (and backup I guess) I capped off the end with a nice heat rated silicone cap. The car sounds more organic now. My mechanic might check the boost level for me. Pulls about the same.
