Intercooler piping r32 help

[raz0r$harP.UK]

Hey

My intercooler piping goes right over the block with no rocker cover and this has the awesome affect of super heating the air just before it goes into the engine. Does anyone have pics of a better route to run the piping its a fmic i bought some heat shield stuff from clarke rubber would it be alright to wrap the whole pipe in it??

If i did put a rockercover on would that stop the heat?

Should i get a cam cover?

anyone got any ideas?

if you dont want the pipe work to go over the engine, only way you going to achieve your goal is to get a front facing plenum.

Do the numbers;

2500 cc's X 1 bar X 5000 rpm = ~200 litres per second

That pipe holds a bit under 2 litres, so that's 100th of second for the air to pass through the pipe. Not a lot of contact time for the temperature from the pipe to be passed into the air.

The pipe you should look at is the thinner one (may be steel from the photos) from the intercooler, that goes behind the radiator. It is much longer and therefore the air spends a longer time in it to pick up some temperature.

This is the bestter way to do the pipework
