anyone know who other than Dezod and Turbo-Kits.com sells I/C Piping for the D17???

 

sf if you can find it used.. they stopped making it. or custom

 

sf???

didnt Maxrev have a kit along time ago??

 

you might as well DIY it... at least then it fits.
The best fitting kit I've seen thus far, if you can still find it, is the stafford fab kit... it may be the only thing that kit got right.

 

maxrev/dezod v1 or 2 kits were the same i believe

i have an SF intercooler setup and thats it from them

 

yeah... very dificult time finding it lol

i guess im just gonna get the Dezod manifold, I/C, and piping then piece the rest through YoParts.com

 

its about $1000 cheaper than getting the Dezod kit

 

yeah, but the Dezod intercooler doesnt fit. Its too tall to fit under the bumper unless you want to hack it up. You need to get creative with the IC (i.e. fab one) if you want to keep the bumper intact.

 

i c .....
I think im actually going to use my Injen intake as part of the I/C piping lol. we are just going to custom fab the piping. The Dezod piping will only match with their manifold too which will only bolt on a T3/T4 turbo and i want to get the T28r Disco Potato...

we'll see what happens lol Im relocating the battery this week to take a better look at how to run the piping and mount the I/C and which manifold to go with

 

you can get the disco potato with a T31 housing (T3 foot) which bolts to the Dezod manifold. You'd just have to make your own downpipe.
Matching the pipe to the manifold? Phooey... you can, all you need is an elbow or a piece of pipe and you can match a set of charge pipes to any manifold.
This is my beef with that intercooler...


There's only 7.5" under the crash bar... the intercooler is 9

 

thats interesting... Dezod claims it fits oem bumper too.... do i absolutely have to get the dezod style I/C w/ the hot/cold on same side??? is it much easier that way??? would you recommend getting one that way or would it be easier to go w/ a standard fmic??

 

it really doesnt matter. I just had one made that's similar to the Greddy RSX one




Since the core is only 7" it actually fits in the bumper.
If you want to jam that dezod thing in, notch the crash bar an inch and a half and stuff it in... thats more work than I cared to do, especially when he claims it to be bolt on.
I'll keep my opinion largely to myself, but I've seen enough Dezod brand stuff up close to not want to buy any more of it. Make it yourself, trust me it fits better.

 

SF or custom.. my SF stuff is the only thing that hasnt given me any problems with my setup.

 

wish i could find a SF kit F/S
