Re:Intercooler
 
sorry , actually my question was do i have to run hard pipe for the intercooler or for temporary use like that 200 psi capable heater hose ?

Re:Intercooler
 
ah yes, the intercooler pipings... those SOB's were a bitch because if u dont measure correctly its a pain in the ass to put the bumper back on. I'm still going to redo mine and figure out why my fucken car hit boost until 4k and full boost until 7.5k-- I think its my stock exhaust, but shiet What do I know....

One question relating to intercooler, how much of a PSI drop should one expect to see--before the intercooler and after the intercooler?

Do it right the first time man, get the hard pipes installed.. Mild steel is cheap. Got a welder? Goto town. If you don't have a welder, you could mock the ---- up with pvc and take your mock up to the exhaust shop and have them create what you're after. I would only trust that hose for coupling the ---- together, remember it will expand and bend and ---- if you're using it all by itself.

Good luck.

Hey dumbdick :P

Look around at the IC manufactures websites, they normally give you a test reading about what the expectancy is.. I would say an average of 1-2 psi.. you can always get the ---- flow checked at a machine shop to see. This really depends on size and condition, a variable question ya see.

Re:Intercooler
 
Lookin good.. I think you need to trim some more to get those pipes to fit in there.

turbotrep 06-18-2004 06:08 PM

Re:Intercooler
 
Its better than no turbo at all :P

tekno9998 06-18-2004 07:39 PM

Re:Intercooler
 
Lmao if you get rid of the wing and the stickers or neons im sure are on the car. That thing would be a badass sleeper.

I am using radiator hose from turbo to intercooler. 11/12 psi from a garrett t3 no problems yet.

I just went to the local autoparts store and asked to look through their selection of pre-formed radiator hoses untill I found something that would fit my applcation.

Re:Intercooler
 
how long have u ran this ultra ghetto setup without failure?

Foowee 06-22-2004 10:03 AM

Re:Intercooler
 
So far the car has been driven to the track, tuning along the way. It made 6 full 1320 passes and home with a bit of boosting away from the track.
