Ok guys I have had a few e-mails about my piping I did for my car so I thought I would post a few pics and give you guys some info on how to do it.
Now this is for an R32 for a 600X300X76 cooler using the existing pipe work but I got my info from another guy on these forums and he did for an R33.
You will need these tools
· Falthead screwdriver
· Phillips head screwdriver
· Stanley knife
· Hacksaw
· And another set of hands (like a friends)
Products you will need
This is all for 2 ½ inch pipe from any good exhaust shop
· 2 to 3 foot of straight pipe
· 2 45 degree bends
· 2 90 degree bends
· 1 180 degree bend
· radiator hose clamps get around 10(cant remember there names)
· silcone hose all depends on how much u want to use
· and 2 reduces or you can make them by putting a 2 ½ piece of silcone inside a 3 inch silcone pipe works fine that’s what ive done
I fitted my cooler straight on to my front bar support it holds great then I made some brackets that secure to the engine support underneath the cooler.
Now that the new cooler is on take the old cooler of and trust me this is a pain but after it is off you will have to cut the intake piping at the start of the 2 holes in your chasis and then cut the out take pipe so it sticks out by about 300 mm now join the 2 45 degree bends to each pipe with a silcone connector then join the 2 90 degree bends to the end of the 45 degree bends and one of your pipes should line up with your cooler so connect it up.
Now that that is done find out how much of the straight pipe you need and cut to size once you have cut it join that onto the other 90 degree bend then join the 180 degree bend to the other end of the straight pipe then connect it to the other intake of the cooler and you have finished.
This is a rough guide PLEASE only take it as a guide and not an installation manual cause your car could be different to mine but this should help you,make sure you think about everything before you do it cause some pipes are hard to connect and you might have to cut more pipes than I did.
If you have any questions then ask away I will try and answer them as best I can.
Put aside 1 to 2 days for this task and you may need to alter your bar aswell.
If anyone else has done this before or do it and find I have missed something then let me know.
Also have a look at the pics the may help.
Thanks
