FAST-XR EVIL T Member 259 Member For: 16y 5m 4d Gender: Male Location: Liverpool NSW Posted 08/06/10 10:54 PM Author Share Posted 08/06/10 10:54 PM (edited) I have had itchy fingures lately and had to mod something!so I chopped up my hybrid 2.5" cold side pipes and created my complete hotside pipe work with it, and made a new 3" cold side with the NA XR6 intake. the cold side is now 500mm shorter and runs much cooler on the intake side of the engine bay....im getting it on a dyno tomorrow night to see what difference it made Edited 08/06/10 10:58 PM by FAST-XR Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65010-hybrid-intercooler-installedand-tuned/page/3/#findComment-1014475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 15/06/10 11:36 AM Share Posted 15/06/10 11:36 AM Hows it going Fast-XR you have some nice pipe work there, have you checked out Mace Engineerings manifold and Plenum insulators! They are 12mm thick so will lift the throttle body and give you more volume in the plenum as well as keepn it cool? This pics without the plenum insulator.

I wonder how they go holding boost?

Posted 16/06/10 12:28 PM Share Posted 16/06/10 12:28 PM They reckon that the volume of the plenum should be around 80% of the volume of the cylinders to which it is connected so im not sure what the standard one is. I was thinking that 12mm would be enough to get more clearance off the cover under the pipe work, maybe for a bigger pipe.Im thinking of putting some 5" pipe from the standard air box to the turbo with a water/air intercooler back to the throttle body so there will be some short pipe work.Out here the temp off the roads gets pretty hot. Anyway I like how you proved that you can make some nice numbers.
