Check out my short route!!

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Nope...

 

[RallyEclipse98]

JDM Hawtness ! Any particular reason for short routing it? Nice pics.

 

[fwdmaster]

Neat and clean set-up, where did you purchased the intercooler piping at?

 

[tunethis]

Nice work! Those are pretty nice looking pipes too.

 

[90laserRSfwd]

where did you get the cold side pipe (FMIC to 2g throttle body elbow piece)?

 

[snooopy365]

just want to share something a little more tricky.

Wanted to keep: A/C, Foglights (Highbeams in EU model) and ABS.

Anyway your piping looks realy good!
and you got way more space between ABS and piping

 

[keltalon]

Nice clean install

 

[97 4G63]

Nice ..
Did you have to bend the lip on the side of the radiator to have room for the pipe going to the TB?

 

[4Motion4g63]

So Coming off the turbo outlet to the front mount why such the hard turn down and thu a tight spot next to the exhaust and alt, What wrong with going strait up then turn right then slope down?

Dunno if its a bad way or not but that was my plan seams the heat will be bad up high and low but It would be futher from the heat running higher since there is a heat shield and you could wrap the pipes...

Trying to get some ideas of where to mount the BOV... So far this is what I have come up with:

Keep in mind that later down the road I will be running DS-MAP and will be able to vent my BOV. Therefore when that time comes I will probably go with the larger Tial BOV.

Since you're removing abs soon I'd put it closer to the tb.

Also, what size is the core that you got? Maybe an ebay link?

 

[97 4G63]

I used to have an IC that looked just like that back in the day it worked great ..
But i got rid of it and got me and SBR IC.
Nice job so far.i had to bend the lip on my koyo to make it work.

Thanks. Also I forgot, no pics of it with the bumper on? Also, a link to the vendor of the pipe/couplers. I want JDM lulz.!

FYI, the Punishment budget FMIC comes with a CXRacing core. The box still had the cxracing flyer in it. I guess I could have probably pieced together a better fitting FMIC kit for less money if I had done what you did. Oh well.. Also their was a thread on here where someone was thinking of purchasing an eBay turbo, and all the turbo said was "Sport JDM" same as your couplers. You can run a slightly shorter alternator belt for more clearance. My alternator was actually hitting the IC piping when the motor rocked forward and the knock sensor was picking it up. The belt someone used in another thread was a CarQuest K0403082 14mm x 985mm. Looks good!

Definately a nice looking setup, if I didn't get my greddy kit for $200 from a friend I would do the same thing. Looks nice man!

Lookin good. Just one thing I would do is take off the front bumper and paint the core support area/behind the fmic black so you don't see it.

Did the core come with those hangers?

Or some black mesh screen like an evo!

 

[mach4g63t]

That's really similar to the Punishment setup in terms of the cold-side piping. Just as a precaution, you might want to find some sort of buffer between the ABS unit and that pipe. I didn't pay attention to mine for about a week and with them being so close it eventually dug a nasty little knick into the piping, so I slapped a piece of cut rubber hose between the two as a buffer. You may or may not need this, but I thought I'd throw it out there.


Look good btw.

 

[jwcardy]

Damn that looks super clean!

[AndrewD5418]

Looks like it's got fangs .

 

[MaNGiNa24]

I'd def take care of that LICP before it causes any potential problems

Looks good though!

 

[MaNGiNa24]

You might be able to find a pipe with a tighter bend.

If not you could always use a 90 degree coupler which looks like it'd be perfect for your application (adjustable).

 

[HIGHPSI4]

I did a bottom to top flow. Very short and has great response.

As a preface, I'm running DSMap, so I can vent as much as I want, with as many BOV's as I want. The car came with the hard UICP flanged for a RFL, it wasn't my decision, it was my decision to use PVC pipe as a recirc fitting along with a ton of JBweld back before the DSMap. Two RFLs are just as lame as one RFL, but it's better than having a 1" hole in your IC piping. It's pretty slapped together, sometime in the future I'll have a TIG so I can do it right : )

all I did was flip that UICP 90* and it points pretty much straight to the D hole that the short routes go through. I made my own J pipe by welding a 2" pipe to the J pipe fange and using what I believe to be a 2G elbow with the BOV fitting. The orange reducer came from powerstroke IC fittings.

Ebay EVO upgrade. It was $150 or something like that. I would have gone with the standard one if I had to do it again. It's a lot more stealthy in black vs. aluminum, I like it.

Eventually I'll be running a NT throttle body with a 44mm bov off a bimmer and the hole in the elbow will be plugged up with another IAT sensor to test the efficiency of the IC and see how other things affect the temp output of the turbo.

Holy couplers... 2 pipes/ 4 couplers FTW!

So now your intercooler pipe gets hot from the heat being radiated by the O2 housing. Hope you don't mid the criticism, but I do have a valid point.

What other way do you suggest he do it?
