does it matter what way you put the inercooler? i just got one used from a friend but ther is not flow direction arrow or in / out on it?

does it matter?

 

ttt

 

what kinda of intercooler? and it can flow either direction.

 

i dont see any name brand stamped on it so my best guess would be its a no-name or some sorta turbo xs brand **** i/c... but it will do the job for now, the kit is amost complet and i got $450 in it





my cool new cold air intake w00t w00t

 

I'm speechless.

Wow, now I have seen it all....

 

lol thats sweet...

 

there seems to be a rise in the amount of interfoolers on this board lately

 

That is some sick **** you got there .

 

zip ties holding the intercooler up and a filter on the end....... I hope this is a joke

 

lol, you forgot to plumb the turbo in.

 

thanks for clearing up the flow direction question guys i was just wondering because on side of the i/c is a 2 1/2" and the other is 2"

yes it is a joke i just got the zip ties up and the charge pipes no to fit it up mark holes for the i/c and gota mark where to weld the peice for the bov

i think it worked out though it was a pain and took me a while because i was trying to cut the bumper as little as possible

Well that changes things a bit. You want the 2 inch side to be the inlet and the 2.5 the outlet. If you have it the other way your going to be forcing the air through a bit of a bottle neck.

 

from the turbo to the 2in inlet
from the 2.5 in outlet to the throttle body.



good luck

 

i did not know that thanks for really clearing it up this time lol

it just so happens thats the way i put it on...

lucky guess by me lol

 

I ran my intercooler this way for a month while I was breaking in my new engine. I didnt want to take my entire turbo setup off, so I just used the charge piping/intercooler for a tempary intake. I noticed by street tuning that my top end sucked and WOT never hit 0psi. Actually the manifold pressure would slightly drop as it neared redline. I switched it out to my old AEM CAI and it fixed my air restriction at WOT and the tune required more fuel throughout the entire rpm band to maintain the same AFR (bc of more air). So my point is charge piping and intercooler is a pretty shity intake.

 

You boys have waay too much time on your hands.Car looks sweet,good luck
