new intercooler

[Supra2NR]

are you gonna drive that thing with all the pipes hanging like that

holy crap thats pretty low
my pipes never went lower than my intercooler
or lower than my crossmember for that matter

ever worried about the pipes hitting objects on the ground while your driving
or this concern is out the window

yea that looks way to low for my likeings. i would have ran it under the radiator area at least, but now i'm wondering what are you doing with your oil cooler, i still havnt decided where i want to mount mine. i was thinking of fitting it up in the upper grill.

[west_side_supra]

here is what i'm talking about doing

[cyanide-is-a-way-out]

im not worried how low the piping is i can make it over anything here its burlington hahaha but its not done like i said i still have got work to do on it im just having to take off the toe hooks and such to fit it right

[west_side_supra]

thats sweet that you live out in burlinton, i'm in marysville near everett, you should come down here some time and help out with my motor build :P

[Supra2NR]

ok i dont do this a lot, since i said i dont like taking pics of my engine bay

but imma show you guys this, which i think is a better way to route the intercooler pipes



all 2.5" hardpipes painted with ceramic paint, its due for another coat









all the pipes in the engine bay are 2.5"
and the pipes from the intercooler are both 3"
you can see the reducer on the pipe leading away from the engine bay
to the intercooler

not the best looking right now, thats why its called a project
this is what i thought would be a good way to route the pipes when i was doing my car, this way nothing is underneath, thats gonna hit anything when im driving
considering highway races,
and anybody that lives here, knows how many bumps there are on the way to doty road,
im not trying to be a snob, but i might delete these later,

ya west side supra ill come down and helo for shure but i just got a few more kinks to work out in my car again before it is driveable but yeah send me your number or sometin on here but just to let you know im 17 ahha if that means like youd rather me not help but up to you just gimme oyur number and ill hit you up

[west_side_supra]

hmm that way you routed it seem really complex and lots of bends, i'm trying to keep it simple not insane :P

what i'm trying to figure out is why did you cross it when you could have done a straight shot from the TB to the passenger side of the intercooler then go from the drivers side up?

plus i see you relocated your battery and your fan in missing or just cant see it. and is that a cusco oil catch can? and could you not rotate your turbo?

[cyanide-is-a-way-out]

ahha i got my car running perfect once again cleared all engine codes no more haha yay the new maf fixed everything

[Supra2NR]

cuz the other end tank is is on the other side of the intercooler
thats why i had to cross it,
i have two electric fans, a pusher and a puller and yes the battery was relocated to the rear to ruduce weight in front of the car

i chose the bends cuz i want it to be as smooth as i can , i tried to avoid 90 degree bends as much as i can
