X-POST: 951 Brake Q

I MEANT EXHAUST Q. . .CAN'T EDIT TITLE!



I am a total 951 noob, and I am trying to piece together an exhaust. I have the above two crossovers, and as you can see they have different flange types for the wastegate. The car is an 86, and I have the correct factory downpipe/cat assembly.

I know something with the wastegate plumbing also changed along the way, but I'm not clear what. I currently have NO wg pipes.

So, the question is, which crossover should I use, and which wastegate pipes?

BONUS: If you happen to have the bits I need, speak up!

Tia,

Fifty views, no replies? I guess that's why we see so many 951 posts in the regular 944 forum. . .

I already answered you, Rasta, as did Jon.

What do you want; your posts to be SO IMPORTANT that everyone on here jumps to answer them?

Rasta,

had not been to the shop since seeing your post/question.

here are pics of the exhaust crossover and waste gate pipe on my 86 951. just in the process of putting the exhaust back on following a clutch job.

depending on the short pipe you have to the WG will dictate which crossover you use.

good luck.

Thanks Bob!

Bob,

The original crossover pipe for your car was a "1-piece" type, meaning that the little short elbow you show was an integral part of the main crossover.

It looks like someone already updated your car to the 2-piece type, which makes things easier and slightly less time-consuming to do.

should have taken a pic with the WG installed.

my crossover was a 1-piece, from the two outlets on the headers to the inlet on the Turbo. sent to LR to make a 2-piece. glad I did since I had to replace the damn clutch.

are you confusing the elbow I am showing that connects from the crossover to the WG, to the elbow section of the 2-piece crossover that goes up to the turbo where the O2 goes? or maybe the outlet from the WG to the exhaust?

here is a pic before I took out for the clutch job. on right, the little elbo I showed from the crossover to the WG, and on the left is the dump pipe from WG to the exhaust.

[kdjones2000]

The LR modification is essentially converting it to a "3-piece".

That elbow is still considered to be part of the crossover pipe.

Great pics, thanks a million for the responses.
