My Intercooler Install

I hope the Master Plumbers Association don’t see this or there goes your ticket

Eugene.

I welded a fitting on the elbow near the pwr steering ressie, placed a barb and fed the sensor. Easy

As for 2.5" to turbo, I'll see. I still have a doughnut and a length of pipe left, and I wouldn't mind re-routing the feed from the comp under the battery tray. 90 deg bend straight off the turbo compressor should get it o fit..

Dano,

BOV, running where it was. It will vent/draw some atmospheric, but it's only for a week or so.. Not alot in it.

Crossover setup will be changed in roughly a week to a different arrangement..

As for Master Plumbers, well they can GAGF

Will be painting it soon..

Boost comes on almost instantly, only requiring 200rpm to get to 8/9 psi... That's from anywhere in the rev range, not just loading it up

Compressor surge/chatter is farking loud. Sounds like I have a pair of mating turkeys under my bonnet. Bit ricey for me

More pix when painted.

200rpm for 8/9psi or 2000rpm? wait till you get ride of the crossover and run a manifold that lets you shoot that air straight in...

From any give rpm point. It takes 200rpm to be at fullboost. ( 9psi atmo )

Comprende' ?????

I almost lost my coffee! Thanks for that one Ben.

OK.

I'll try and post up some pix of the (semi) finished pipework tomorrow, painted black.

To quote F6_Tornado

" Ohhh farkk. That looks faaarking terrible.. Ohhh for faaaark sakes, that's faaarkin horrid. That's no good at all, nup, that's F*&*KED "

Meh, he's a \|/ and it's MY temporary pipework, not his.. ( I'm not too keen on it either )

( did I mention he's feverishly running around finding an intercooler, coz now he's scared I'm quicker than him) LMAO old boy..

Anyhoo, Results:

Well, the thing runs cool. about 10-15 deg above ambient, and that's with me leaning on the throttle.

Put into perspective, it runs at around 32-38 degrees during the day, flogging it around. That's colder than the F6 cooler ran at night, on cruise down the fwy.. Impressive.

Lag, well the tune isn't 100% so I can't judge fully, but seems a touch lagier, but it might be the volume of air has increased with the 4" turbo inlet/intercooler piping, so it's more progressive, and less snappy, but still punching the numbers??

I'm also running 5psi less boost- which might have some say in it..

I'll be getting onto the dyno tomorrow to do a few or four tunes and see what happens.

I'll be posting up dyno sheets tomorrow night with some pix if I get the chance....

Looks great mate, and a great write up as well.

Just wondering a couple of things,

-Where abouts are you going to mount the blow off valve, and plumb it back into, now your not using the rear of the stock plenum?

-Is there enough room to run the intake pipe over the top and around the back of the intake manifold and have it entering the throttle body as a bend (similar to the N/A intake pipe setup?) I thoight this might keep any pipes from being exposed to the top of the exhaust manifold?

Great job anyway!

You can fit a 3" pipe by entering it the same way as the N/A intake. I've been running one for some time now.

haaa gramps comment is classic. Hopefully the weather holds up on Wed cos I bet your mad keen to test the apple on the track.
