Would the upper greddy intercooler piping fit the stock smic?

Would the upper greddy intercooler piping fit the stock smic?
Or would I have to get something else to make it fit?
( I know i should wait till I get a greddy fmic first)


Thanks for any infor. guys!!!

Yes, it will fit. You'll be fine. Stop worrying.






EDIT: I'm assuming you're looking (or have) this kit. Everything you need to install it is right there.

with that kit it is made to fit a Greddy bov.is there any way i can still use my turbo xs RFL with the Greddy kit

If you buy an adapter plate.

thanks i just looked and found one for $29.00 at www.extremepsi.com

do you think the pipe kit is worth the money. will i see a power gain or just steady boost. because i heard that stock pipes expand and contract losing air.

Let's assume you still have your OEM intercooler piping installed. No, you won't see massive amounts of horsepower or torque by installing this product. Will the airflow technically be more efficent when compared to the OEM pipes? Of course. But it sounds like you're looking for "the most bang for your buck."

In that case, hard intercooler piping will definately fall short of your expectations. Slightly better throttle response and the ability to hold boost is what you will experience with an upgraded RV and upgraded IC pipes. No more, no less. Just like you shouldn't expect a sh**load of horsepower and torque gains just by installing a large turbocharger with no additional modifications (actually, you shouldn't expect any gains in this example, other than a headache).

So in response to your question - No, I don't think that spending that kind of cash is "worth it." You will probably end up kicking yourself when you realize you spent too much for too little. Again, however, technically speaking the airflow through this kit will be much more efficient when compared to the OEM piping.

Hope that helps.

Dsmunknown,those are the pipes that I got.It will fit a FMIC & also SMIC?

I was also wondering this. I have this pipe kit on my stock SMIC right now. I am upgrading my turbo to a 16G and i want a FMIC. Can these pipes be used for the greddy IC core..? With the J-pipe from the 16G of course..let us know!

You can rig it up to work with a little creativity. The upper i/c pipe is really only an advantage for us 2g guys so we can swap out the stock bov. When you go to a fmic you will want to go with short route piping anyways, so I dont see it as a wise investment to get anything other than the one uicp.

If you do not plan to convert to a front mount than you might want to convert to all hard piping. It will help with throttle response and also it eliminates a lot of potential boost leak sources.

I recommend dejon tool for intercooler piping. Great customer service. Really well made and fitting pieces, which is important so the dump tube from the bov can still be lined up.

If you buy a greddy kit it will have all the piping in it already and you can sell the stuff you have. IF you already have hard uic piping you could always buy a good core and rig up a custom piping setup. Its surprisingly easy and can be done fairly cheap

dsmunknown, thanks for the helpi think ill stick with stock pipe untilli muster up the cash and the balls to turbo upgrade. which then of coarse ill buy a FMIC. any hints or helpon good turbos. i have a fully built engine ross pistons,crank,rods,block redone,head,valves.
also a bov,intake and VRS exaust.but im thinking bigger turbo then some fuel upgrades or should it be the other way around? i have been looking at 16g's but i might go bigger let me know what you think a good turbo is and my previous questions thanks.

 

[nycxjoey]

Does anyone have any pictures of the greddy intercooler piping install to their smic?Also any pointers on how to install them.
Thanks in advance guys!!

It's as easy as pie. If you seriously need a guide to simply replace these pipes, then you need to go and see a doctor about the meds you've been taking or meds you should be taking.

There really is nothing to it. Just take the OEM pipes out, and put the new pipes in their place. I'm sure Greddy supplies directions for the mentally handicapped. If you can install an aftermarket exhaust system and replace the accordian intake pipe, then you definately can do with in a breeze. Have some confidence in yourself. You can do it!

Not a problem. If you are strapped for cash, look into the UICPs that David Brode sells.

That kit is strictly for a SMIC (whether upgraded or OEM). Peronally, I wouldn't buy that kit if I was planning on purchasing an FMIC in the near future. IMHO it would be a waste of time, effort, and money.

Regardless, IslandTSI gave you some good info. But it really depends on what type of FMIC you choose to go with. Regarding the LICP, it depends on where the end tank inlet is in relation to the compressor-side housing outlet. It also depends on where the end tank outlet is in relation to the UICP.

Do you care how long your IC piping is? If you do, then you should look into custom short-route piping (or a kit if you can find one). If you don't care, then you will still need a pipe extention between the Greddy UICP and the end tank outlet (assuming of course that you will be keeping the Greddy UICP).
