Intercooler Install On A N/A

[Guest XR09]

There is a BA/BF manual floaing around cyber space. Take half an hour to search and find it and use the manual. Only way you will save a lot of time and worry

Are you running a different intake manifold on other than the std one.

it hasnt crossed my mind , I would be upgrading the standard airbox sometime?

why?

is there another route I can take for the piping.. if nothing I was going to just cut a whole around 3 inch in diametre and join the pipes through there.

save yourself and dont do the cross over like the standard xr6t's, if you can get someone to send you a pic of a rapid set up or something similar? youll see the airbox doesnt have to go where it normally does and youll get quicker spool up!

HMM REALLY????

what you mean rapid setup ? is that a particular brand? where would I be moving the airbox too?

this sounds mroe interesting... I will draw you guys an example of what im doing for now.

see my diagram of what im doing so far.. I can change this

im using stock oem piping as its flexible and easy to use.

until I upgrade the cooler later on.

didnt read your question well.

im using the standard intake plenum. im budgeting my costs to have her up and running before I move onto introduce the plasma and upgrade the airbox, cooler , injectors all during the time of tuning.

so far the car has cams and with the turbo shud make some interesting power itself.

if I was you I'd save and save and save and then do it all at once. Full cooler/piping kits come up for sale on here quite often. if you can save til you can afford one with a plenum or a throttle body relocation then you'll be heaps better off.

[Wenier]

Id say at least put the short intake with pod where the battery originally is and relocate the batt, then run the pipe to the cooler the normal way which then out the cooler on opposite side and straight up to the manifold. Then change that cold side pipe when you do the plenum to suit new plenum.

Hi wenier

is the above what you mean? sorry for the dodgy diagram.

1) where the original air intake box/pipe was, use that way to put in new intercooler hoses to the intercooler through the passenger headlight.

2) use the other intercooler exit and attach the cooler through driver headlite to turbo

3) attach plastic pipe from std xr6 cross over to turbo as per original

4) run new pipe to battery tray and attach a pod.

is this generally what you meant?
