chiso92 Member 8 Member For: 13y 1m 5d Posted 06/11/12 10:52 AM Share Posted 06/11/12 10:52 AM hi, im startin to make plans for making my own piping out of stainless and wondering if anyone bas done their own and had any problems?? (being a welder im hoping its not gonna be too much trouble). so heres my grand plan, get under battery intake with a poddy straigh to trbo feeding to the cooler (gonna get a bf cooler as the inlet is on driver side and out let is on passenger side) and coming back up into the engine bay under the passenger side headlight somewhere straight up to inlet manifold. I havnt had a good enough look yet at where I can fit it under the passenger light. by doing this mod ill be cutting the travel of the air from intake to the inlet manifold and hopefully increasing throttle response and maybe bit of hp. hope it kinda makes sense but as I said I am looking for anyone who has had a go at it an if there was any difficulties or problems. click on this link and this is something what im thinking, I know its a bf n wanna do this to my ba. https://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&client=safari&tbo=d&biw=320&bih=504&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=bf+intercooler&oq=bf+interc&gs_l=mobile-gws-serp.1.1.41j0i24.138919.210114.1.212385.10.3.6.1.1.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1ac.1.lll89QSdzkQ#I=84 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82746-diy-piping-crossover-in-ba/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 8m 21d Posted 10/11/12 08:08 PM Share Posted 10/11/12 08:08 PM Yeh I did a tb relocation myself, just gotta make sure the flange that attaches to tb isn't sitting to high as it will hit the bonnet, I did it as a one peice, like process west should of done it as a two peice do it could be adjusted if needed. But well worth the effort as results were very good. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82746-diy-piping-crossover-in-ba/#findComment-1323285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
