Intercooler Piping

[RubyRS4]

Everlast are just too busy this week and Saturday to do my intercooler piping for me.

Can anyone recommend anyone else around the Regency Park/City area who could do the job? Its not too hard, just need piping done from fmic (2.5") to go down (2.25") to the existing pipework from the removed smic on my Stag.

Thanks guys.

I'm also considering doing the job myself. I've got my own MIG and I've fabbed piping before for my other projects ... I was just hoping to make it someone elses problem. But I'm keen to try it myself again

Might visit Aussie Discount Mufflers for the bends only.

I'll dummy the intercooler in place and if it looks like more trouble than what I want to deal with I'll then consider the above mentioned places.

Cool, you'll find that ET have pretty good prices and they're quick too. I got my zorst done while I waited, took less than 2 hrs for them to mod the angle, mount it, add a resonator and get everything welded. top people imho.

Just go to AAA and use their reducer and you won't have to weld anything and it'll cost about $10.

fours n more at pooraka should be able to do it in time for ya. 82602011, tell them luke with the r31 sent you and they should look after you.

[RubyRS4]

Thanks guys.

I'll do the ring around tomorrow and go from there.

Ouch!

Got quoted $500-$600. Think I'll buy the bends and do it myself.

Edit: out of curiousity, I rang one place back and said the car was a VL turbo, and the intercooler piping quote dropped $200

So you are getting quotes to make up the whole piping or just modify some existing piping?

I thought from your original post that you were just getting something modified?

EDIT!!

I must have read it wrong, i don't know how i read that you were modifying piping.

Go to AAA Exhaust.

I made up a template from poly pipe and PVC fittings took it to them and they bent it up out of stainless. It cost $140 for them to do it including them suppling the piping. Mine was 2 inch and being a 180 is shorter than what you will be making but it will still come in under $250. Then all i had to get was two TIG welds and the piping was done. Like i said earlier they bent up my intake as well.

The welds were done because you have to have 200mm between bends and there were a couple places that they had to be closer.

Its not too hard, just need piping done from fmic (2.5") to go down (2.25") to the existing pipework from the removed smic on my Stag.

FMIC behind front bar. 450mm wide core radiator (100mm thick).

Option 1:

Mount it as standard behind bar; from the furthest length/end 180 degree 2.5" bend then straight pipe reduced down to 2.25"; pipe (and bends) to existing pipework from (removed) smic; from the shortest length/end 2.5" pipe reduced to 2.25" to existing pipework from (removed) smic.

Option 2:

Mount it upside down (no need for 180 bend); from the furthest length/end 90 degree 2.5" bend down reduce to 2.25"; 2.25" pipe to 90 degree bend to run under fmic to existing pipework from (removed) smic; from the shortest length/end 90 degree 2.5" bend reduce to 2.25"; to a 90 degree 2.25" bend to existing pipework from (remvoed) smic.

Hopefully I'll have time tonight or tomorrow night to dummy up the intercooler and decide on an option. Then I'll purchase the bends needed.

it's easier if you get the piping bent like you said! or you can use a slightly bigger pipe, grips and a little muscle to bend them! but it's a b!tch fook bending stainless steel pipes, i know
