slown280z Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 You also want the IC as close to the radiator as possible. The air coming out of the IC will be really turbulent and you might have cooling issues since it will not want to flow through the radiator.

That was the plan to begin with. I ordered the wrong size IC and will likely be redoing it again in spring. For now I will do with what I have. Will probably box in the whole setup to alow better airflow through the radiator. I will also be running a mechanical fan as I plan on a few track days here and there.

1badeagle Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Can you post a picture of your air filter for me? I understand wherehow the routing for the intercooler piping is, but where do you place your filter and afm at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But well have to see how it works with an afm.... just told you. cut the wires and extend them to mount the afm in front of the IC. works great. I have relocated 3 afm like that.

Six_Shooter Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I ran my IC pipie under the oil pan too: Old picture, doesn't show DIS upgrade: I don't know why more people don't run thier piping this way. My filter is also mounted directly to my turbo, with no issues of melting, I do see my intake temps are higher than I would like, and will be moving my filter to try and reduce the air temps.

Pyro Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I ran my IC pipe under the pan over 5 years ago. But ran the tube up between the engine mount and alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
