My 89 Supra - Page 4

i have a real quick question for those that come across this thread. i've been thinking about buying a divorced downpipe and i have had my eyeball on one on ebay. it's $260 and pretty well crafted. the thing that i noticed on this particular downpipe when compared to a BIC divorced downpipe is that the generic one doesnt have piece welded to actually "divorce" exhaust from turbo and wastegate. how much of an impact will this make as far as exhaust flow goes by not having that metal piece welded to actually divorce the gasses?

I have NO idea what you're talking about.... a divorced DP is just that... divorced. Also, eBay and "well crafted" seldom go hand in hand.... well, unless it's my company's products.

Post a link.

alright. here was what i was talking about:

the ebay special: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

BIC: http://www.bicperformance.com/products.htm

notice on the BIC downpipe that there is a little metal piece that is welded between the downpipe and the dump tube vs. the ebay special where there is no metal piece welded in there.

Okay, I gotcha. It's easy enough to have a wall welded in so I wouldn't base my opinion on that; You should get a divider welded on if you go with the eBay DDP.

Nice. I think I'm gonna get the Bic ddp myself after I get a turbo motor

koryh2009 · 04-14-2010, 05:26 PM

nice! yeah, i think im just going to spend the extra money to get the BIC downpipe

koryh2009 · 05-21-2010, 03:53 PM

wow, its been a while since i've posted. as you all know, i did get the new motor for the car, but guess what? i ran out of money!!! as do most people when they are working on their car. anyways, i am getting ready to purchase bearings (rods, mains, thrustwasher) and rings. any suggestions to which brand i should use?

God, it's been a while since I've been on this site. I kind of miss it! Anyways, I'm finally getting to a point to where I can start saving up money for my baby. Once I track down a vacant engine stand, I am going to start tearing the motor that I bought and assess the damage that the previous owner did to the motor. Anyways, seeing as how I am a noob when it comes to the 7M, I'm just wondering: what's the best way to go about this? What should I do to the motor while it is torn down? and last, What's the best gasket set I should go with?
