i was wondering if anyone had pictures of how they routed their piping without relocating the battery. i wanted it to go thru the front so i can use a front mount intercooler also. any help would be appreciated. piece.

 

just have it follow the same route as a CAI.

 

Turbo --> I/C



More Turbo --> I/C


Lower I/C --> T/B


Upper I/C -- T/B


That's how it is in my car, but then again my battery is in the back.

 

getto-tech...

 

did u have to hack any metal off the car??? or cut the bumpers??? or move the radiator???

 

Yes, yes and yes

The hole where the A/C lines come through stock was enlarged to accomdate the I/C piping.

The grill in the bumper had to be cut out to make way for the I/C and piping

The lower radiator support had to be flattened down to allow the bottom of the rad to slide forward. The rad sits like this " / " in the car.

 

2" piping with homedepot connector's
(soon to be 2.5" )

 

I thought you didn't want large plumbing due to it causing lower pressure. Or am I mistaken.

Btw, love your setup. If I'm wrong, oh well. wanna send the predone piping over my way.

 

Well now with the T-25 I wan'ted 2" because of insane spool time(full 10psi by 2800)

But for my new Built ZC on the way the 2" piping will just be too restrictive.

 

hmm I wanna go with the same setup on the hatch, I want to keep the AC aswell. Looks like yours is still intact, what manifold are you using ?

 

He's prolly using the ole HF manifold + adapter plate trick. Works great and for cheap too. Make sure you port out the HF manifold tho.

 

I'm not using the A/C. I am just too lazy to take out the rest of the lines

The mani is a HF but I am using NO adapter plate. I drilled cutout's in the T-25 housing that match the HF and just used bolt's/nut's. Picture it like this: With only one bolt connected, you could easily slide the assembily apart. Yet with all 4 bolt's the assembily will be as strong as any other setup. Just make sure you use a good O ring gasket between the Turbo and the manifold.

6 month's of daily driving, and NO problem's.
