I got the piping from Treadstone. It's thick walled aluminum.. I had one of my buds tig it all up for me. I'm gonna need a lot more piping for next winter... That's all I'm gonna say

are you going to still route it the same way with the new setup or no?

doubt it. any other route would require less pipe

For more room, The plan is while the car is being caged, to cut out a section of the firewall and recess it behind the dash more so the " piping" Cough cough... Can fit behind the s256...

Glad your finally planning to something safety related.

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Tue Jan 15, 2013 2:35 pm

not to rag on ya, but do you really feel that your car will ever be to the point where a full on 10 point cage is really needed? the amount of power needed to overcome the extra weight along with move the car in a manner that requires that sort of cage is barely feasible with a neon. don't get me wrong i love neons, but it's not a top fuel dragster that can do 20 rolls after hitting the barrier

well since you posted this, i cant hold it in any longer. The small turbo is going to be the s256net and the larger turbo is going to be a bws362...

anotherwords, its going to be a compound turbo setup..

i think he meant 8 pt, at least thats what i told him was the requirement.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:49 am

that company makes a 10 point. and compound will be nasty. a bitch to tune, but nasty as hell. good luck man

r/tguy02 · Post by **r/tguy02** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 2:42 pm

ah ok, didnt realize they only made a 10 pt, that explains why he isnt going with the 8pt.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 3:33 pm

No, they also make an 8 point

*In Other Words* That is gonna torque-steer the axles off and blow hoses loooooong before the cage will be necessary.

Hope your not serious.
All the piping is Tigged. There's only 4 couplers on the whole car.

So what your saying is I shouldn't run a cage? I should just go to the track and watch since they won't let me run without one? Yeah, sounds sweet.

Edit: Thats like saying your neon cant keep rear quarters on it, so why change the oil in the motor?

As long as you don't trap 135 or go 11.49 you should be fine
