My DIY Intercooler piping.

[Guest]

do you mind me asking what kinda coin you paid? ok mite have to do some searchin to get these bigger plenum's and tb's.
as i said before great job.
does your fmic fit ok behind the front bar? i remember you saying a little tight but did it chang the shape of the front bar at all?

Joe Gly has some info about his intercooler mounting on page 2 of the Intercooler Thread

 

[Guest]

all your questions have been answered in this thread already,
read from the beginning

 

[Guest]

nah i was asking the cost of the innovate LC1 wideband ego? or did i miss that, if i did sorry guys. i have read from begining, great rite up very informative..

 

[Guest]

the lc1 cost me $340nz

also buying a walbro 342 pump end of this week,
will be another $180nz

now on the lookout for a FPR, and considering getting the Sard 1:1 raising rate one



thought you were asking bout the pipework/cooler/joiners prices.

 

[Guest]

gee your puttin some sirious stuff in this legnum are you wanting this for 1/4mile track or just a road toy?
im very interested to see what it pulls on a dyno.

 

[Guest]

do it once do it right.

i want to track it, not so much into the 1/4 mile thing but it will be done at least once,

just wanna whoop a few evos

its still my daily driver... so putting proven good/reliable parts in,
just dont see the point of half arsing it. its only a few $$ more for the real deal,

.

 

[Guest]

very true.. why buy cheep parts that will last 6 months when you can spend a little more and have it for 2 years and be reliable...
you gotta bust a few v8 commos and fords just to give them the shits..
good luck with it all, keep postin love seein your progress.

where is this project at Carsten??
My pile of parts is increasing....I just need the ECU and I am away!
I always check in to see where you are at.

 

[Guest]

hasnt gotten any further, been a bit slack,

since this pipe works been done, ive done the following spending,

cert (for coil overs/brembos/seats/wheels) so the cars road legal,
new bonnet,
sard fpr,
walbro fuel pump,
innovate lc1,
new mirrors,
new eyelids,
swaybars,
fix my gearbox,
all new fluids,

but im gonna get back into it in the new year,

ive bought most of the stuff i need to make my own downpipes,
and im looking into making a custom intake.

Carsten,

Quick one for you mate, the elbow you are using on the TB, where did you source that one from? I have been hunting for one similar as im getting my piping done in the next month.

Cheers,
Brent

 

[Guest]

its just a 3" 90 degree elbow,

i bought it from www.staparts.co.nz

its M&H Branded.

 

[Guest]

well after my run in with the nasty trademe hard pipe, see here

I've now been at it again.... this might take a while as I'm not on holiday from work like when i first started this...

I've cut the trademe P.O.S. into bits, and trying to salvage what i can,
it may not look like much, but its taken me 3-4 hours to get it to this stage.
it would have been much easier to start from scratch...

well had the day off today and after having decided the TM (streetbitz) upper pipe was shit, but i had to use what i had to save money....

my reciepe for a new hotside uppe pipe work is,

2x factory rear turbo pipe's
1x factory turbo joiner,
1x POS 2.5" TM pipe kit,
1x 45degree 3" alloy bend,
various silicone joiners,

cut it all up and use only the flanges and mandrel bends from the factory pipe work, all 2",
cut up the TM POS and re-align and re-design it all,
make it have a 3" outlet after both turbo feeds join,

so now ive ended up with 2" of each turbo for a short distance, all mandrel bends, expanding upto 2.5" and joining and continuing on 3" all the way to the throttal body

ill get it all welded up on monday,
full days work fixing this up!!

 

[Guest]

all welded, started clean some of the welds up,
also did a test fit....

 

[Peter_D]

Awsome work. Looking great.

 

[Guest]

Looking terrific! Cant wait to see the end result

You gonna keep the intake to the maf or separate the turbo inlet pipes?

 

[Guest]

all the intake pipework will get redone in aluminium pipe aswell,

will prob be 4" from the cold airbox spilting to 2.5" to each turbo.

once this lot is sanded back to a smooth finish it will be dropped of for coating,

its gonna get coated with cermakrome

bling with a purpose

next project i think will be my down pipes as i have nearly all the material i need for them.

 

[Guest]

running vid.... it does not really sound like a tractor in RL
they need better audio recording on mobile phones, LOL!
