intercooler piping

[teglover85]

hey i was searching in the web to make my own i ntercooler piping and couldn find any info. was just wondering if anybody has dimension for the piping

[-S Double C-]

you can get full piping kits made for your car and a intercooler for 260-340 on ebay. And there actually decent good for about 350whp or so.

[chituntang]

Dimension for the piping actually does not have a standard, but it actually makes your turbo's response and limit your max power. Small piping means easier to fill up, less lag. Bigger piping means harder to fill up, but more air to go in. So it really depends on your turbo setup. My hot pipe is about 2 inches and cold pipe is 3 inches. My buddy's GT2871 SR has a 3 inches hot pipe and 4 inches cold pipe. It is all about how much power you planned for your car.

Yea that part i bolded is just retarded. GT2871 is a small turbo and does not need 4 inch piping on the cold side or 3 inch piping.

the max you need on that turbo is 2.5 inch on hot side and 3 inch on cold side.

even GT42 turbos dont run 4 inch piping for charge piping of the compressor.

id love to see that guys setup and see the large reducer from 2/2.5 inch on the GT28 compressor housing to a 3 inch pipe.

your friend could reduce a substantial amount of lag with no loss of power by stepping down to properly sized piping for that turbo

[chituntang]

Maybe my eye sight is a little off. I always thought my cold pipe is 3in. I guess it is only 2.5 after what you said. But the cold pipe that he has is a custom piping and it looks 4in to me, but I may be wrong.

i have an acura integra gsr 98

[chituntang]

Read up the new Project Car magazine. They turboed a GSR!!!'

check out ebay and look for sre piping. its like 160 including shipping, with a flange and it fits perfectly. i run spoolinperformance piping, but its pricey.

[teglover85]

thanks for the advice i was just wondering the demensions like after 3 days of searching theres is no info on the piping demensions like 2 u bends 2 45 degrees piping i was just wondering what demensions where they i just bought some piping from ebay

[patrick4588]

you should have got a kit fit for your car. the universal kits are not all that great. they involve a lot of cutting and a ton of couplers.

[teglover85]

LIKE I SAID I BOUGHT THE KIT BUT TRIYING TO FIND INFO ON MAKING MY OWN I COULDNT FIND NONE ANYONE HAS INFO ON THIS

[speedminded]

LIKE I SAID I BOUGHT THE KIT BUT TRIYING TO FIND INFO ON MAKING MY OWN I COULDNT FIND NONE ANYONE HAS INFO ON THISWhat do you want to know? It depends on the turbo and what kinda of power you're wanting to put down.

[teglover85]

I MENT ON THEDEMENSIONS ON THE PIPE I HAVE A 50 TRIM WELL THE DEMENSIONS FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO THE INTERCOOLER FROM INTERCOOLER TO THE TURBO

I MENT ON THEDEMENSIONS ON THE PIPE I HAVE A 50 TRIM WELL THE DEMENSIONS FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO THE INTERCOOLER FROM INTERCOOLER TO THE TURBOWouldn't that depend on the style of the manifold and the size and placement of the intercooler?

[teglover85]

i dont know thats why i wanted info i couldnt find none

[speedminded]

i dont know thats why i wanted info i couldnt find noneSooo...don't you think the piping would be the last thing to even think about if you don't even know what manifold or intercooler you're running?

[patrick4588]

i dont understand why you are still wanting to make your own and need dimensions. i told you two places where you could buy pre made kits that FIT without having to do anything. you pick which manifold you are running and what flange you need. its really easy. you must need to be spoon fed... oh well im in a giving mood....

[AnthonyF]

ahhh b/c he can spell and speak very well?

[teglover85]

can we get back to the topic

[AnthonyF]

no

[speedminded]

can we get back to the topicWhat topic? What do you want to know? You can't possibly know what piping you need until you get the manifold, turbo, and intercooler, period.

[AnthonyF]

stop playin guessing games and go to Mainstream. they will make u som piping. buy ur wn intercooler tho

[teglover85]

i bought a cheap ebay kit for 600 dollars my friend sold me the intercooler and all i needed was the piping i was triying to find info on doing it myself and didnt since i couldnt find any info and decided on buying one from ebay i was still courious about the information i didnt find if one of my buddies wants to do it themself i can help them
so anybody knows the demension on intercooler piping for an integra any year or knows where i can find the info

[FlyingStroke240]

u just need to do the setup and play with the pipe until u get it right. I hope that helps and also i hope you have a welder or some good couplings b/c,....just b/c.
Boost does not like cheap couplings.

see ya 240love.:screwy:

[Big J]

I've made pipe, and I've used pre-made pipe. Pre-made FTW. I made pipe for my car because pre-made at the time was $800.

You drive a Honda, you can get premade piping for under $200, enjoy that, you never want to know what it's like not to have 1,000,000 companies making 10,000,000 parts for your car.

2) EVERY SINGLE APPLICATION WILL HAVE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS.

How is this so hard for you to comprehend? The dimensions of the piping SOLELY depends on what intercooler and manifold you buy, what turbo, and how much power you are anticipating to put down.

You post back with exactly what intercooler you are running, exactly where it is going, precisely what turbo and manifold you are running, then I am sure someone can tell you a little more about it...until then quit bumping this thread.
