[WLD747]

HI guys im looking for 3'' intercooler piping for my r33 skyline. Im after a ready made kit or something easy to assemble. I live in melbourne. Im after something not 2 expensive.

Can anyone help me out.

Come on guys i need piping for a cooler i want to put on

[EnricoPalazzo]

3inch is way too big. Go 2inch.

[WLD747]

Ive heard better flow that way for higher boost.

do you know anyone who can do my intercooler piping

[oofoofoo]

I think generally ppl go to exhaust shops for that sort of custom piping. Won't be cheap though. Is your intercooler from a kit itself? If so, you might be able to pick up the piping through an parts importer. Again, piping tends to take up half the cost of those kits.

3inch will flow better but there will be a huge loss in throttle response.

I recon you get a 2.5 inch, which is what I can get you, if you want!!! We designed it so it fits perfectly. I actually just put one on my car and my mates car and there is no cutting the fan blades, which so many dodgy performance shops do. This kit bolts straight on all you need to do is cut a 3inch hole in the side wall and bolt it up to the old outlet from the turbo. They are polished aluminium and they look sweet. PM me if you want to know more.

I can get a custom intercooler with 3'' end tanks

its a big cooler i think 900 x 800 x 75 - but the thing is its cheap for $500. I want the piping in 3'' as well but if 2.5'' is better response i might get a 2.5'' endtank cooler.

any suggestions

Are you sure thats the size of your cooler? U must have raised your car up at least a foot off the ground...lol or do you have a truck or something, cause i don't think that wouldn't fit on a skyline.

[Guest MFX_R33]

Skyline/Mack truck!!! That is way too big for your car, and trottle response would go to sh!t.

LMAO

i would abandon this idea immediately unless you want 1000hp+. and the cooler is probably off a truck neway?

[sfitzy]

the larger you go in inlet piping the slower the gas velocity will be, therfore the slower the throttle response... Also at low rpm where the gas velocity is low, there could be an overly big pressure drop due to this slow gas velocity.

Stay away from big piping, unless you are running high psi and high revs most of the time.

2" or 2 1/2" is the way to go with i/c piping unless you have an upgraded turbo. The pressure drop and throttle response will be slower and you will definately not like that as people have said above. I have 2 3/4" and 2 1/2" i/c piping on my acura integra and it works fine but I also have an upgraded t3/t4.
