IC piping
Is anyone running this style intercooler pipe setup? Looks nice and simple and short, with very few bends & couplers. I know their kits are for SC'd Miata's, but I don't see why you couldn't DIY a similar turbo system.

the trick is tilting the top of the rad back and fab'ing your top shroud/plate - simple DIY
|
|
^ Whats involved in that, how does the hood clear the pipes?
|
ask loki- he had a thread here. Wasn't "ram horns" or something like that?

No no it wasnt that hard.
You have to be able to weld (or know someone who can) You cut the rad brackets and weld them about 1.5 inches lower (check this with the rad fans because of the front sway bar) Then run your pipes and cut the hood a little bit. MAKE SURE YOU GET A INTERCOOLER WITH OUTLETS ON THE SAME SIDE!! |
Oh and the thread was called My devil horns just came in.
|
i got them from the "first start" thread. and then i laughed at your pickup. :)

I dont know look for ways to disolve or weaken jb weld
Q: How can I remove J-B Weld after it is fully cured? A: When fully cured, J-B Weld can only be removed by grinding or filing it off, or by directly heating the product above the 600 degree maximum temperature threshold. |

never once JB welded something that I couldn't go back out later and chip away. I'm not a big jb weld fan anymore. |

I removed it with a wrench and it came right out. JB weld is not that strong. I used it more as a sealer for the threads. |
The pickup tube is the same thickness as the coolant tube that runs from the water pump to the heater core connection at the firewall.
I'd use a dremel/die grinder with a small cutting wheel or carbide cutting bit to cut the weld away. |
