Cutting edge up pipes install

[swinky]

Alright guys I've been working on the injectors and turbo all weekend but can't get the up pipes in to save my life. They're t4 divided with the piece welded to the side that bolt to where the drivers side pedestal bolts used to go it Supports the up pipes and the turbo just hangs on the up pipes. Is this how all of them are? Anybody have tips for getting them back there?

What is the problem when installing them?

I think I'm just retarded. Do all of your up pipes have that piece of flat iron welded to the flange? The one that bolts where the drivers side pedestal bolts used to be?

I tried for 2 hours last night and couldn't get them in.

Yup. Do you still have the heat shield installed still?

The insulation on the firewall? Yes. There's nothing on the pipes themselves.

No the one that bolts to the back of the motor.


What is the problem your having?

Yeah that's still there I think. I can't get both sides of the up pipe down the back of the motor. That long flat piece keeps getting in the way. The exhaust is still on btw.

Loosen the downpipe under the pickup and lean it as far towards the heater box as you can

Did you get them installed yet? I was gonna tackle mine today but I feel like dog s*@t right now. I figure the heat shield Matt mentioned would need to come off. I was just debating on whether or not the ficm needs to come out.

My ficm is off and I still can't get it. I'm not 100 percent sure on the heat shield he's talking about. Mine aren't on man I've got the dutes today.

On the back of the motor is a thin metal heat shield. It's held on by two 10mm bolts. You'd know if it was there. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Probably got removed when it was studded.

That's not there. I haven't even been able to get them that far though. I was tired as hell though. Hopefully be more concentrated in the A.M

So you're saying the bracket that mounts to the upper portion of the block is impeding the install?

Do you have the passenger side pipe installed at the same time?

Exactly. I've tried with and without.

Seems like without would be the easiest. Idk man, I haven't tried to install mine yet…probably won't get to it until next weekend either...

Do you have the lower part on the passager side Removed?
