Hey all,

I'm lookin for some front mount piping to DIY, I wanna do the pipes the right way around (ie, no cold air-over-the-hot-engine) deal, noone seems interested in doing a job like this for a decent non-exorbitant price...

Gonna be needing a few bends/silicon hose/silicon reducers, piping.....

Where can I get some of this stuff from ?

Is the standard piping 2.5" ?

Cheers guys,

-Kym.

i got my intercooler + piping for $1100ish landed which i thought was a pretty good deal. Then fitted it myself. Pipes do go over the top of the engine tho, where else are you gunna put em through?

$350 - $400 sounds awfully cheap, let us know how you go tho

Kim I did my piping myself ... wasn't too hard

I have a Hybrid 600x300 type thing. I used the standard piping down past the pod filter, and then the far side of the cooler (the cold side) turned back around behind the cooler to join up with the standard piping.

It worked well I think ... no extra lag noticed and was good enough to make nearly 250rwhp at SST on standard turbo.

I'm changing it soon though as I have a new turbo going on .. but for stock turbo the setup seemed to work well :cheers:

  • 2 weeks later...

slightly off topic but still on intercooler piping. who can make up custom cooler piping? ie which workshop? Not for my car, I got FMIC already :rofl: but for my bro's GT4 Celica. Looking mild steel but stainless would also be considered. I heard Per4manz can do cool piping? anywhere else?

Update: Picked up my SS Mandrel Bends and bits of pipe from Allbend Engineering in Ossie Park, cost me $104 all up, now I just gotta pick up some silicon piping reducers, and some hose clamps and put it all together...

I've decided to go with the 180degree bend on one side of the cooler to retain the stock return/output pipes. I'm going to do a comparison between the "over-the-engine" and using stock pipes myself as noone has any hard facts.....

hey strick,

glad to hear buddy. i went to allbends on friday, and he said that they only had 2 1/2inch pipe, so using a hybrid 3inch cooler would require reducers.

i would love to know how you go with the install, maybe some pics :D if you want a hand to help, let me know i would love to as i want to do the same for myself.

maybe we can get cheaper reducers or clamps if we buy bulk. let me know :(

God Bless,

Nate

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
