Kaan W Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well im just trying to find out basically what pipe I need from the intercooler to manifold to avoid cutting the bumper like here - This is the pipe thats there now joining to a kind of long "S" shaped one into the manifold - Does anyone know what pipe I need? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 What about rob mitchells? I dont think hes is cut? There must be another smaller U bend pipe you can get but then where does the dump valve go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You can put the dump valve any where on the pipework fella, could you not shorten the bend slightly and move your coooler closer to the rad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mine was never cut, not sure what diameter my pipe was. You could put on a smaller diameter pipe but then you would need to get another bov flange and weld that onto the new pipe and new silicon joiners to fit the new pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suppose I could now ive removed the aircon stuff. Just means I need to find a welder that can modify the pipework, unless theres a pre made pipe you can get?

safcdixon Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Theres loads of place that weld s/s or you could just cut the pipe and join it with silicone couplers, and move the bov somewhere else (i would as it looks like it seen abit of salt etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Move the intercooler as far back it will go and see what difference that makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 i think rob cut his in a straight line mate like alot of people check his build thread it might say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 i think rob cut his in a straight line mate like alot of people check his build thread it might say He cut it down in a straight line first. Then there still wasn't enough clearance so we cut a round notch out on the turbo side to clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 What about moving the intercooler down ? then the pipe would sit below the vent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 What about moving the intercooler down ? then the pipe would sit below the vent That would have to move down a long way to clear the vent and you'll see half an intercooler poppin up in the gap. I reckon I can move the intercooler back a couple of inches then cut the new bumper back as neccesary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Had my intercooler from Whifbitz and i never needed to cut my bumper at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 This is the set up I keep seeing, how does your intake pipe run do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Are these any help to you, my car is in pieces at the minute so i can measure bends etc if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yeah thats great thanks! Where is your BOV mounted? Also where can I get this pipe or did you have it made up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Bov is a HKS SSQV, but mounted in the stock location, but all the pipework came as a kit from Whifbitz, it included all bends, blue hose couplers, and clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
