DIY custom intercooler + all piping... for $530 **pics**

[Royalty]

I purchased a FMIC and J-pipe from Jr perrot on ebay, the 90 deg. bends ig to from ubendman on ebay, the coupling pipe from napa and the clamps from home depot.

FOr every thing..
UICP, all piping, J-pipe, FMIC, clamps, and coupling hose. I spent about $530. Not a bad deal if i say so myself.

I ddint get the piping kit so i decided to make my own. It took a lil cutting and fabbing but were we go.

all pipes are 2.5 inch. Jpipe is 2 inch

***UPDATE***

Well like most of yall thought the fan blades being cut created alot of wobble. SO at this point it is scrapped.

I will be replacing it with a slim line in the future.

FOr yall runnig one fan am i ok runnng just one fan?

You should not have a problem running one fan right now, as long as it is the radiator fan. The one you took off is the A/C fan which only turns on when you have the A/C on. I have my A/C fan hooked to my radiator fan so that they both turn on at the same time. I did this because it gets a little hot here in AZ.

hey royalty,


I need to know EXACTLY who and where you bought all your parts on ebay........give me the exact link if you can , I would really appreciate, If you can give me any help in the future when I start fabbing my own set up ..please do.

Did you have to bend anything yourself, if so how,,,,,and how did you cut your pipes for the correct size.

ok.either this post is totally dead or I am talking to myself!

It's not hard to just find the stuff yourself. Just go on Ebay, find a fmic the size you want, figure out the bends you are going to need. Hop on RRE's site, order the bends, and bam. I got my FMIC off ebay. 23x12x3, bar&plate, even came with couplers, for 300 shipped to my door. Once I return to the states, I'm gunna order some bends from RRE and make my own as well. Not very difficult if you just sit down for an hour and figure out the route you want your piping to take.
