Default Question About Routing Charge Pipe (without intercooler)



i was wondering if this would be okay/fit, i would turn the compressor so the outlet points upwards. (i don't have the AC anymore)

any help is appreciated !(or tips!)

thanks,
mike

Yes, that'd be fine, but maybe use a smaller pipe than the 3" AEM pipe... And keep this in mind when routing your pipe: Ever 90° bend = a 1% loss. (45° + 45° = 90° = 1% loss)...

Do you plan on keeping the downpipe on the drivers side?

i can deal with a %1 loss to begin with and its not the 3" aem pipe, its from an EX (if u notice, my engine was swapped out) and they just re-used my old CAI. So I believe its 2.75"

thanks for the input!,

nice car mike
I think that would work...although I still say you run the piping around the front like you have an FMIC....but skip the fmic for now. That way you can just cut a section of piping out, and drop the fmic in place once you get it....

If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail
Do is "as right as you can" the first time to avoid problems down the road...

It just seems the "cleanest" if you will (*until my badass trust intercooler (skyline vspec II) comes from overseas this june :D)

i think this would be pretty safe on 5psi eh?(*probably not much fun tho..hehe)
