Custom Intercooler pipes mock up

[Stoner]

I used all of these pipes on my setup found Here from JC whitney. I made my uicp from this article in the tech section Here and then sent them to Dejontool to have them beaded and powdercoated like in the pic below.

Other than the uicp I used;
2-180* bends one for the driver side to go around the radiator and the other I cut in half at the apex of the bend to use to go from the IC to connect with my uicp. It basically went through where the smic used to be.
You will need some kind of j-pipe and a straight piece of piping with an elbow to connect them on the turbo side of your pipes. You can also get flanges from dejontool.

The pic below is to give you an idea of what everything looked like when I was done. I have my compressor housing rotated to face down on my 16g so your setup will be different depending on your turbo, instead of my 45* bent piece. Let me know if you have any questions about this setup and I hope this info helps

What did dejontool charge to bead and powdercoat the piping?

They look good,

I honestly can't remember but I think it was around $100.00 for everything. It was worth it to me.

Hell yea...that looks NOICE!

Those pipes came out awsome exactly the kind of quality i want to make. I could somewhat see how it went together, but just wondering if you have anymore pictures of them installed i can't make out exactly where all the peices go. Do you think that it would have been easier to make the pipes go a short route or was it easier just to go the stock way? Also i'm going to be running the T-25 on this setup for a couple of months money is tight do you think this will be a problem.

Here is the same pic with captions on where each pipe went. The text over the two small pipes in the middle is on purpose as you wont use them. If you are running the T-25 I would GUESS that you would go straight into the compressor outlet without the need for an elbow, maybe just another short straight section. Then if you later upgrade to a 16g style turbo all you would need to do is buy the J-Pipe and a silcone elbow.

Short route piping on this core being side to side flow would be harder and pointless in my opinion. Also just look through the jrc intercooler thread, and yes all 30 some pages of it to see more pics of pipes installed just like mine. I even think that I had posted some more pics in there somewhere. Also in my gallery there are a few more like in my previous post.

You will have to do some designing on your own if you plan on making your own pipes. You cannot count on all of us for every step. I am going to have to start charging you pretty soon

Thank you very much, I'll post some pics of my car when i am done. I think it may just take a while to get things matching up right

I found a pic of the passenger side;

Hey...I'll be installing my intercooler/buying pipes pretty soon for it.. the one thing I can't seem to find out is what size bend I will need to round the radiator..

What size bend (length between the legs) are you using to round the radiator to the turbo? And if you know...how much clearence do you have if your pipe is bigger then needed?? I've got an o2 housing dump i need to make sure it doesnt dump on the intercooler pipe....


TIA!

Look at my post on the johnny racecar thread to see how I did my pipes. I think it's post #741 or something like that. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1406165#post1406165

What did you use to connect the IC to the pipe right next to your K&N Filter???

I cant remember for sure but it was around 4-6" radius. You will have to just measure everything and figure out what you need. I also have an external dump and the gases are going to hit it somewhat no matter what you do. You just have to find that medium between it and the radiator.

wow...i guess me being a plumber helps alot when doing these kind of things...i can visualize everything in my head and make alignment marks with a sharpie then take it to my bench and weld it up and have it fit right the first time. but i fit everykind of pipe all day everyday so i guess its expected...

I'm bringing this back from the dead...

So I'm sorting of planning out new mods for my car and what not once my 6-bolt swap is done. I was looking at FMIC kits on ebay and I saw this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-9...014QQitemZ330080865459QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Now I noticed the flange on the UIP isn't even flanged for a Greddy BOV, it's actually for a 1G (I don't know how they don't know that). But other than that, the piping doesn't look like it's enough. I'm trying to picture this in my head but it doesn't seem to complete the system. Oh and btw I'm visualizing it with an up-flow turbo (14B in my case), but even picturing it on a T25 doesn't seem to work out either.

 

[kevingst]

Well, I don't think it's for a t25 because the t25 outlet obviously exits in the wrong direction for what this set up looks to be doing. And there's no j pipe for a 14b/16g to connect up either. Even if you use the 90* bend (short) with the 90* bend (long) on the driver side... you'll still need another 90* bend to connect to the turbo outlet j pipe. But as for the passenger side... it's missing ALL kinds of stuff there. It's looks like you could almost make it work for short route, but I think you'll at least need another 90* bend with maybe a 45* bend .
