Im torn at the moment since im redoing my set up , I dunno if its worth it to redo my piping and my IC? the piping is standard Drag piping and the IC is just a Spearco , dimensions with end tanks is like 29x8x3 something liek that
im thinking it might get choked down at 500-550 hp levels. or whatever it ends up at .
the drag piping is 2.25 to the throttle body , but from the turbo to the ic is like 2inch
What you guys suggest?
if i do upgrade ill prob get FFGeoffs backdoor IC and i guess do custom piping , prob 2.5 all around.
But i dont knwo anyone in Pa that would do custom piping for me .

Is it worth the headache?

 

how much is one of those full race ic's?

 

i have no idea to tell you the truth. id prob guess $650-700?

 

i wouldnt doubt it, damn its worth it though. ive tried to call them but cant get a hold of them. if you find out, if you dont mind, just post it or let me know if its not too big of a problem

 

Earl, can get the back door design for the PWR intercoolers. It shouldn't be too expensive either. Check out his post.

Personally, I think the IC piping from the (DRAG Kit) turbo to the intercooler is way too small for 500+HP. I'm using it now and I plan on getting bigger piping for next season.

 

heres the pricing from Jeoff on his stuff
the IC is 650 for an 8" tall and 720 for an 11" tall IC

 

Bump

 

Yes itd be worth it! w/ our drag piping, and straight 2.5" piping, we actually gained spool time! by almost 1k rpm. I dont know if it was a flaw or what, but thats what we experienced first-hand!

 

so you think 2.5 is a nice size to go with for 500-600whp or so ? also your manifold should just go right into the backdoor IC's right?

 

shoot me a pm. i know a guy that does beautiful fab work and does all my customers cars.

ps, i can kill them prices on intercoolers.(spearco)

 

What would you want for your old IC?

No, it wont. My manifolds are 2-3 inches lower than the other guys. Youll have to go w/a custom setup, or an elbow to bow up or something...

 

hmmm , i guess that throws thwe backdoor out of the picture, in that case i can get another Spearco from the guy that i got my old one for a real good price. i saw he had some like 30x10x3 and what not . ill prob do that and thne take the extra money and get custom piping made. the prob is getting the car there , aye aye aye . headaches, i need a freaking trailor.

 

I have 2.5" on my set-up and was total overkill. I'm only pushing 9psi, and i've heard that all it does it slow down my spoolup (which i'm sure it true). I could trade ya
