[AlmightySo]

I need some help with how to run the pipes, I cant seem to fit em the way I have it cause of the rad fans. I dont know what to do..

 

[AlmightySo]

What angels do I need and directions?

I don't know but I thought of having the intake filter piped to the old intercooler location. Wondering if this is a good idea and tip

Not sure what you mean by any of this. what kind of turbo do you have? Are your fans oem? Are you running a front mount intercooler? What exactly is hitting?

 

[AlmightySo]

Stock turbo, aftermarket radiator with aftermarket fans, front mount intercooler

Thats gonna be a hard one to fit on a stock t25 gonna have weird piping but obviously thats what you have to do pull the fans off switch the direction they spin assuming they are going the right way as is and put them on the front of the radiator thats how my car is never have issues with temp[DOUBLEPOST=1409621519][/DOUBLEPOST]Plus it will save some room in the bay and look cleaner ive ran all my dsms that way

So I should put the fan on the right in front of the rad and put red/blue blue/red to switch direction of airflow?

 

[jbeaton9292]

My fan wires may be a differant color just test it should be just 2 wires power and ground im gonna assume that red is power to run normal direction

To test it depin the plug and touch the pins to your battery and redo it so it pushes air toward the part touching the rad

Also do both fans out there not just the one

Good time to upgrade to a downfiring turbo. Is that in the budget? Eliminate the J pipe altogether with something as simple as a 20g. They're cheap right? Maybe a used hx35 w BEP hotside, or a green...etc etc. I know its a lot of money to resolve a pipe routing problem but if you were planning on an upgrade one day you could kill 2 birds with 1 stone? Just a thought

Yes though you would switch your red blue to switch airflow direction[DOUBLEPOST=1409622068][/DOUBLEPOST]He said

He said its stock turbo there is no jpipe its a t25 and fires toward the smic

My bad, hungover , a bit off today. I totally forgot how the t25 routes... Yea, thats gotta be a PITA.

Are you using the flex exhaust pipe from autozone for ic piping?

thats what it sounded like for a quick fix not a good idea

Going to a FMIC for a t-25 will actually hinder performance being that you will be increasing the volume of air needed to pressurize the intake system. If will feel like lag. May I suggest saving your money to buy a proper FMIC kit to pair with your next turbo upgrade as they are very reasonably priced these days.

It'll be tricky to route that turbo to the drivers side. Your pretty limited on the way the turbo points. I don't see an easy way of doing it unless you go with a different intercooler setup or a different turbo. There are kits like Godspeed and GReddy that have intercoolers with both inlets coming from the passenger side

Punishment racing also has a kit that includes the t25 pipe and coupler

 

[jbeaton9292]

It can be done easily all it needs is for a u shaped pipe right where you hook up for a downfiring turbo

 

[MJBean420]

I got that funky u-shaped pipe and coupler that will connect to your T25. Its actually two pipes welded together. I had a T28 at one point hooked up to an ETS kit. PM me if your interested.
