Well I have my intercooler mounted and I was checking out my options for the IC piping and I am wondering what you guys do.

Yes... I know the easiest way would be to ditch my windshield washer reservoir and go through that hole but is there any other way like before or after the reservoir ?

Heres my intercooler.




some pics of piping W/O the bumper on would be nice!!

nothing?

no one has ran piping any where else besides thru the WW fluid hole?

 

I would have to take a pic of mine but I drilled a hole big enough I could use a hydraulic knock out punch (like a big hole punch for metal) to knock out a hole thru to where the ww fluid resivour sits and then came around to the front mount intercooler. The only trick is you cant go to low when you do this or you will actually get into the main support/ frame structure.

 

Wouldn't you just move the washer reservoir? Can't be too hard to find a spot for it. Just think of it this way......which would be more difficult, relocating washer fluid or finding hole big enough for piping.

 

right i guess..

i guess i could move it to the other hole farther to the right...

idk that is why i was asking.

 

Eventually I'll be going through the same thing as you, so I too want to know. I haven't really looked at it, so I can't give you an answer, but that would be where I would start. Maybe cut a new hole? If so I would wrap some type of rubber or grommet around the hole to A) protect the pipe from being scratched up and 2) from moving around and keeping it snug.

 

Thats what I did when I made a nice hole to come through... that and painted the lip around the edge so any exposed bare metal did not rust.

For me I had to go this route because of how my custom setup it designed, and also seemed like un-ness. piping to go up over and down thru the windshield wiper fluid res. hole.

 

i made it easy on my self.... i still have ww fluid!!!

for the driver side, i took out my head light, reamed the hole out on the radiator support and just went through there.

 

no need to remove haedlight...

i like how short my routing is tho...

got pics?
