For those of us with late HX35s that have the integral cast elbow, here's a little project I did.

I got some 3/8" flatbar 5" wide at the local Metal Supermarket. 6" would have been better though.

I chopped off the flange from my old/stock downpipe and got to work. 8)

I sure do hope it fits

 

Looks good. And you did it all for a few bucks...I like that even more...

 

It fits

All that's keeping me from putting it on the truck is I'm waiting for the pyro so I can do the drilling while the turbo is off.

 

very nice work and a great idea for everybody
you should heat it in the barbeque's for an hour get her nice and hot and while hot weld up the inside so it doesn't crack on your outside weld later cause it will otherwise . not at first but given time it will found out the hard way racing turbos in the eighties .

 

Got the H1C off and drilled/tapped for the pyro.

Working a lot right now and weather not co-operating... soon... soon...

 

wow the granolas dont hassle you about your hot rod oil burner? last time at mayne on the way to the buddys
house I took the truck instead of the ricer , and some granny gave me grief about the little puff at start up, nice work by the way.

 

Salt Spring has better redneck demographics than Mayne So glad there's no emissions testing here. No doubt there are grannies shaking their fingers at me, but I'm too busy going the other direction to notice!

still not in if weather is good tomorrow its going in

 

Almost there!

 

Close enough! Run it already!

 

I ran it yesterday

Feels good. My black cloud is gone and it pulls harder

I could have tightened the oil return tube a bit better... I had an oily surprise when I checked on things at the beer store.

 

We call people like that(All ages) moonbats, here

 

Thanks for giving me the advice your link with photos helped
