Test Fitting Looks Good!
Using a 90* silicone coupler I can use my exisiting intercooler piping (with slight modifications):

Looks good! I'm sure you could bend the heater core pipe a little to get more room. I needed more room than that, so I shortened the factory pipe and rewelded the end onto it. That's an option also, but it looks like you should be able to just bend it a little.

Looks good bro.. whats your heatshield mounted to? Can you get some closer pics (I guess I could come look but i'm lazy) ? I like that design.

The circled holes:

Is that long rubber hose coming from the intake from the bv?, Ummm...if so thats what they call "recirculating the BV" correct? si or no ?
|
Correct. It plumbs back into the intake pipe.
|
i'll be surprised if that manifold cracks.
i think begi uses a new coolant tube that reroutes that heater hose. |

i think begi uses a new coolant tube that reroutes that heater hose. Yeah I know, it also moves the lower radiator hose. Both would be benificial in my case. But no worries. |
looks positivley breedable:bigtu:
the water re route should cost no more than $40 if you buy a new 1.6 thermo housing 1.6 thermo housing random 1.25" rad hoses 2-3 feet of 1.25" aluminum tubing hose clamps 30mm freeze plug not sure on keeping the heater though, dont need it where im at |
Very nice braineack!!!
|
Sweet, cant wait to see it next time at Fudds. Ill return your spring compressors next time too. Why is your AFM upside down?
|
another option- put a piece metal heater/coolant pipe in place of the long rubber tubing run and just connect it at both ends with short rubber tubing.
