I Just picked up this Front mount intercooler and Have kinda stumped myself on what would be the best way to route the hot pipes for the intercooler.
In the picture you can see the endtank comes past the turbo and there is a 90 degree reducer coupler coming off the turbo.
on my old setup I ran w.o a washer bottle but being this is now my daily driver I'd like to hang onto that.

Pointers/tips/pictures all welcome.

I think you should just fab a new bracket for the washer fluid bottle. Maybe rotate the whole assembly sideways.

 

put the washer bottle somewere else. like i put mine in the trunk and just ran new wires for it

 

Relocating the washer bottle to the trunk isn't bad, but it's a little rough routing the lines back to the hood. Is the car a daily driver? If not just eliminate the bottle and pissers all together. . . . Either way, good luck.

 

yes this is my daily driver... not very practical but, I would like to keep the washer bottle.

does anyone have pics of their engine bays/rerouting of washer bottles?

 

This was my daily driver.

I didn't care whether the washer bottle stayed or not.

So..... I got rid of it.

 

is there a picture of where the Intercooler pipe ran through the frame?

Nope. Sorry.

 

anyh pics of washer relocating?
or how to do w/o

 

I have no experience, but a quick idea that might help.

You could remove the washer take from the fender, and splice the two hoses together. Mount the tank in the trunk, then extend the line originally dedicated to the rear "pisser" so its long enough to reach wherever you decided to relocate it to.

If you can source power easily, then the only thing left is to run the switch signal wire from front to rear.

Hopefully that makes sense, good luck!

 

just run the piping under the washer bottle....that's how i have mine. I just made sure the piping is slightly higher than the tow hook underneath and it's been fine like that.

 

And you just used a 180 and a 90? and It cleared the inside of the bumper?

 

It should clear going underneath the bottle. Mstolers, how far off of the ground is your piping?
