RobSheffield Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 That would be great bud, are you taking it under the chassis rail too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I don't know , I'm leaving it for Michel/Storm to sort out. When you say 'under the chassis rail' does this mean straight forward from the compressor to the FMIC (i.e. not into the wing)?, I do know mine isn't going through the wing, it coming straight forward, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats the one mate. Not many do it that way, but im going to... Make up my own pipes make up some pipes from plastic rainwater pipes/drinking straws so i can get to a fabricators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 OK, that sounds like the way mine is going too so I'll get some good pics, anything in particular you want shots of, or pretty much everything from the turbo to the FMIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel lane Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Doing it this way will allow you to run a 3 inch pipe apposed to 2.5inch. Its how the 4 row greddy system is done .We will consider this when the engine is installed and see were the oil cooler and ps cooler will go .

Nic Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Do you have a single with the FMIC pipes running under the chassis rail and NOT through the wing? Please post up piccies Rob I took some pics of mine during the install, as I had some fitment problems with the pipe fouling some of the PAS parts on the steering rack. It is a PHR IC pipe connected to an HKS Type R FMIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just thought that Or i could buy lots of pipes and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 What about the GReddy 3row, single piping...does that go through the wing? Isnt the HKS Type R massive and increase lag considerably Nic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 What about the GReddy 3row, single piping...does that go through the wing? Isnt the HKS Type R massive and increase lag considerably Nic? The GReddy goes through the wing I think from memory. I use to run the Type R on stock turbos, no increase in lag. One of the best FMIC's available IMO.

colsoop Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Rob Uk rich runs his that way, i think he got Chris wilson to knock him up a pipe as well so he may still have the original dimensions to do another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I think Ash is running his pipework the same way, might be worth giving him a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Rob i did all my own IC piping and scratched my head for about a week (whilst doing other things) and came to the conclusion that the only way to do it without sharp bends was through the body (where the stock air box is) i had no pics to work from i just came to this conclusion myself, if you look where the turbo sits on the engine and then where your IC sits there is no way you can "sweep" the pipe in going through the engine/chassis, i did mine in 2.5" piping but me mate jonny5 managed to do it the same with 3", i'me not saying you cant do it through the engine/chassis but you will defo have to use sharper bends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks Paul, but i reckon i can swing it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 pm b'have or rob wild. They both have powerhouse racing kits and that includes the more direct intercooler piping that does not go out through the wing. Rob - if you see this thread, I have the top mounts cleaned and ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
