hey guys just finishing off my intercooler piping on the vl. the kit i bought had 3" cold side piping from intercooler to throttle body. however on the hot side it had 2.5" but the cooler is 3" in and out. i have one more pipe to make which is not in engine bay is from the hot side of cooler. now i was going to make this pipe 3" so it would go into intercooler easier or should i buy a reducer for cooler and have it go into cooler using 2.5" like the rest of the hot pipe?

would it boost in anyway making it 3"

im going to be chasing around 300rwkw aventually but by then im going to get custom piping done. the kit had 2.5" from the turbo to the cooler however it was a vlt kit so i have had to modify it a little. thats why im asking if i should make the pipe from under air box to the cooler on the turbo side 3" or 2.5" considering from the turbo is aready 2.5".

sory for the confusion but this is not for the inlet of the turbo its for the hot pipe from turbo to the intercooler

make it the same size as the turbo outlet

have a look at the R.I.P.S. F E D . from turbo to water box is only like 2.5(looks tiny ) from water box to throttle is 100mm . god knows what power that makes

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
