Intercooler piping for over the manifold

[cbrkp]

for those who have this setup did you fab your own or did you buy it? any links where i can get this setup? maybe ebay? not sure so I thought I'd ask.

i bought a cold side evo kit and the hot side i used vr4 pipes.

it will take a bit of messing around to get it right i reckon though

purchased from meek in sydney

apparently the 16g can be rotated to avoid the manifold completely. has anyone tried this?

 

[cheeks]

I had my 16G rotated so it was running under the manifold because I had an aftermarket intercooler. It worked fine..

those pics look ok but alot of the times people fuck it up by having the piping curl under the tie bar and back up to the cooler....unfortunatly a bend like that=1 meter of piping and you may aswell keep it the way it was......but what people dont realize that with minor mods u canfit the piping through the rad panel at the cooler outlet pipe and that way it cuts the length in half.....when i did this to my gsr , i had a tdo5h on it and i got rid of 800 rpm of lag :wink:

You mean like this :wink:

 

[S15ETA]

nah.....i meant on the hotside

 

[Liberoz]

I'm sure he mean from turbo over manifold then straight down to a 90 degree bend then straight into the cooler so basically same but as the pic but on the hot side into cooler...it will work but you would need to mimic same as the pic at other end of cooler. I'd like to see a meek kit do exackly that vr4 over mani to cooler then follow the cold side to throttle body as you need to upgrade end tanks to 63mm anyways why not instead of 2 straights 2 90degree 63mm elbows on cooler to suit this route!

Hey guys would you suggest getting something like the meek kit and modifying it or would it be best to start from scratch?
