I wonder... Do you think you would gain more power off of this setup by running you IC and hardpipes like you would on a 7M (i.e. over the head and underneath the headlight with an intercooler like a spearco replica)? Hell, the intake mani is setup like the 7M's, but it uses unecessary bends to make it use a traditional IC... Just food for thought . You'd probably want to run 2.25" piping BTW because of the engine being significantly smaller.

 

[Ga70]

i will be..yes im running the stock 1g intercooler... and ill probally do that piping installation thorugh the headlight.

 

[Ga70]

i would need a single to do that as u can see one side of the intercooler piping is divided for the twins

 

[starscream5000]

WTF? Are you positive? Then what is that big metal pipe over the top of the engine connecting both turbos together and then going down to a soft rubber piping heading towards the intercooler?

 

[Ga70]

ok. that pipe is connected to the intercooler which is connected to both turbo's. and then the intake side is connected to the throttle body and then the intercooler..

 

[starscream5000]

So what's the problem? You can either keep the stock IC hard pipe coming off the turbos, then do the rest in hardpipes as I was talking about on post 6, or you can make another, larger hardpipe yourself, connecting the two turbos together. It just takes a little brainpower, ingenuity, and some welding skills to do .

 

[Ga70]

eheheh... ya im not a welder but i am inteligent but no money at the moment, just bought new wheels and need a job

 

[starscream5000]

If you ever want to do hardpipes and a new IC, you can keep the stock turbo hot pipes and do the rest like what I was talking about and not have to do any welding .
