My Custom (homemade) UPP and Greddy BOV - SRT Forums

Mopar211 · 04-03-2004, 10:38 PM

Heres my new UPP I built. It fits very well, doesn't hit anything (can't say that about my stock UPP), although its very close, and of course it's powdercoated. Sorry about the quality of the first 4 pics, they're from a different camera.

I made this block off plate out of 1/8 aluminum and powdercoated it to match my valve cover, etc.

This is my proof that I don't need the hump connectors, I just like the way they look. It actually fits better than this, but it's hard to hold the pipe and a flashlight without being able to see the UPP (taking a pic).

I'm happy with the way it turned out. I noticed less flutter (surge) driving around slowly (like through a subdivision), but a little more flutter when letting off the gas on the highway. I adjusted it to be pretty loose, but it holds the same boost at WOT, and it's loud

what source did you use for vacuum?? I'm trying to get opinions on which is better the stock pink line/solenoid or the intake manifold?? I just bought the ED hard pipes w/greddy bov...Nice work on the custom pipe!!!

I teed into the 90 degree hose off of the intake manifold (not the PCV line). I searched around on this site, and everyone was capping the pink and using that line. It functions exactly like it is supposed to, so that would be my recommendation for you.

Thanks for the compliments

I already have the vacuum line t'd into the manifold cause I tried starkie's method of hooking up the agp wga with that line...it didn't work for me as well as it did him so I t'd into the blue line and getting good results that way....looks like I'll go with the manifold for bov vacuum source, and maybe try the pink line as a test to see if any different....thanks again!!

I buy mandrel bent u bends and cut sections out to make the shapes I need. Thats actually two peices of pipe welded together and then ground and sanded.

he's joking. I cant stand the greddy.

vegasDSM · 04-04-2004, 06:19 PM

looks nice... not something "everyone" can do "at home"

props on your engine bay...

i hate how close my UpPipe comes to the stock slave cylinder..

a vendor should make a metal aftermarket one.. that is thinner...
