dan106 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) So I'm halfway through fitting my wepr ram horn kit, and it seems like nothing lines upThe oil return and feed don't line up, the lambda hits the rad, it doesn't match up to the rest of the exhaust system, has anyone else had these problems?Haven't even tried fitting the screamer yet but I bet that'll be wrong tooHad to force the mani on to get the oil feed here, that's how out it all is Edited March 26, 2016 by dan106 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Jesus dude that's well out, have you been in touch with sacha ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That oil return would be fine if you shortened the hose on the sump. The one I had was similar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I haven't I was seeing if it was a common wepr thing, the screamer also hits the bottom rad hose and the water lines need extra hosing, it's now raining and I'm massively annoyed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Says in the add for this kit that the turbo needs rotating mate, had me worried for a min as I have ordered one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 If I rotate that bit of the turbo the water lines will be hitting straight into the blockThis is how far out the downpipe isI don't understand it as my exhaust is in the factory position Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still think the stuff they make is shit hot tbh, just bizzare to have seen this post dude! Hope all gets resolved soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 i've replied to your PM dan.. you have to rotate the centre cartridge..very easy to do downpipe is stock location..there is no mistake with that as all our downpipes are made to the same jig. if your downpipe has been previously made to suit any other decat which is not stock location..it will not line up i think i may have to take time to post a how-to/fitting guide in the wepr forum section for this kit...

Still think the stuff they make is shit hot tbh, just bizzare to have seen this post dude! Hope all gets resolved soon! Hi nick, we only make oil lines to suit our non stock location ct9 manifold kits (power up kit, ct9 ram kit, top mount ct9 ram kit)....so if you bought one of these oil lines and tried to fit it a stock manifold set up or any other manufacturer ct9 manifold kit...it will not fit or line up. if you are fitting it to one of our kits..you just need to rotate the center section of the housing. oil lines are kit specific. ex: power up kit oil line cannot be fitted on to ram kit and vice/versa. the turbo flange does not sit parallel to the floor on the stock cast manifold...if you just look at a oem manifold..you can see this. except on our power up kit manifold (turbo is still angled, but angle is different to stock)...the turbo flange sits parallel to the floor..hence the center cartrdige also has to be rotated a little to compensate. hardly a big job or anything to be worried about..you need to clock the compressor housing anyhow to point down (for fmic piping)...can be done at the same time. also note...we make the kit to suit the stock rubber oil return elbow. so if using a silicone bend at the sump..it has to be trimmed down to the same size as the oem one..if not it may not fit that well.

dan106 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) So what happens with the water lines? My exhaust is stock location, I removed the standard mani and cat myself so it can't be in a different locationPS: I didn't make this thread to be a dick I just wanted to know if anyone could give me a quick answer as j know the time difference makes it difficult for a conversation Sacha aha Edited March 27, 2016 by dan106 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashleygt Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have the same problem but I used the zisco braided oil feed take a look on insta at m738_ecv but stil haven't managed to sort water feeds out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I cant remember my exhaust bending up that far at the sump Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Sacha, I didn't realise they were all kit specific! I run a ramhorn manifold that I think is made my RW-Developments, and like I said, it wasn't massively out, on by 2mm. Which I thought was pretty good considering the feed is from you guys & the manifold is from a different manufacturer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) If I rotate that bit of the turbo the water lines will be hitting straight into the blockThis is how far out the downpipe isI don't understand it as my exhaust is in the factory position pull on your exhaust towards the downpipe just tighten it up you will see it will pull over there Edited March 27, 2016 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I had to adjust a few wee bits when fitting my ct9 power up kit but nothing major, everything lined up perfect it was just the like of my rad fan (standard one) that I had to sort.You'll be able to tell if the down pipe is ok by fitting the wee brace to the gearbox that goes to it.Plus if the exhaust is just hanging as 5e Colin says it should pull up into place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Here is a quick fitting guide i put together. i am sorry if its not super details. i just didn't have the time today guys. but it does have all the main fittings guidelines. i will add more pics to the guide below as time permit. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/100350-ct9-ram-kit-fitting-guide/ any questions, just PM me !

dan106 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 All cleared up, I misunderstood a few things and didn't realise the water lines needed modding or that your supposed to move the outlet on the civic rad!Sacha has explained it all and taken the time to send me a load of pictures to explain it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dan106 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Nearly aha, waiting on a banjo bolt before I can even get it running! Toyota can't get one till the 8th :| It's a shame because I've already modified the oil line to fit without the turbo rotated, doh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I have no idea what size thread or pitch it is though IIRC its something along the lines of M10x1.25. But dont hold me to that, dont you have the original to go off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
