rg500 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Can anyone help me with figuring out what diameter intercooler / Intercooler pipe I should get I was going to go with 3” but didn’t know if that would be too big or should I go with a 2.5” I’m going to be running a Borg Warner S360 T4 0.88.

Style Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 3" won't clear the oil feed to the turbo if you're using the Whifbitz kit. Best to step down to 2.5" out of the throttle body and either run that for the whole lot, or run 3" from the intercooler to the turbo. I run 3" all the way but had to oval out the pipe that runs over the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Use a 2.5" out the turbo and as soon as possible, jump to 3" pipework. Order a 3" universal kit and then adjust as Style mentions above for the throttle body and oil feed. I have done a few intercooler comparisons using sensors before and after the intercooler, there isn't much data on it. Most eBay intercoolers will run a sub 400hp setup without any heat issues. I had over 70 degrees leaving my turbo, with low 20's coming out of the intercooler, so unless you're running mega HP just use a basic setup.

Frank Bullitt Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Surprised no one has mentioned using a TT intercooler and OEM ducting. Much better than a FMIC but it doesn't look as good if form over function is your thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
