gavinvr6 0 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 is it safe to chop and re-jig the pipe work to delete the tb heater pipes. im only asking as my matrix to tb water pipe has split at the big bit in the middle and i need to use the car. Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yep. Just loop then round. Not really needed anyway, and I replaced those with ptfe pipe and now my tb pipes are the water feed for turbo.Just cut it past the split and put a joiner in. Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 is a bit of copper or steel tube ok for the matrix pipe and just plug up the one from the header? Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just use a bit of pipe to connect the matrix pipe to the one to the header. They're both the same size so nice straight join.Basically run the same way as they would through the tb, but picture your bit of pipe as the throttle body. Link to post Share on other sites
gavinvr6 0 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 oh yeah i got that bit but my prob is where the tb pipe come of the matrix pipe its split where the pip enlarges. what i wqnt to do is just chop it out and fit a bit of pipe in its place removing the tb pipe completely. but concerned about the left over tb to header pipe. can this just be plugged up or is it possible to just cut the header top hose at the tb return. is it long enough?
