needs a touch more work for it to fit better, will get a few more close up picks tomorrow when i get the crash bar on, and how ive fixed it on - cut, drilled and bolted it thru where the bumper fixes to, dont know if this is the norm but it seams to work!!
-
erm whats is that you have fitted :undecided: :grin:

-
let us know how the pipe work goes and what sizes and lengths and all that good stuff :D please
-
Good job!
See the grinder is out bit of reall modding going on :smiley:
Should get a pic with the SMIC beside it.
-
Cheers!! I will do when it comes to fitting it permanently :wink:
-
Thats huge :laugh:
-
So I've been told :grin: :kiss:
-
Similar to tobys old one I think. I like it mate :cool:
-
are you going for coloured pipes :smiley:
-
Nice one!! Black on the cooler so it's not visible and blue under the bonet :wink:
-
that is big.
interested to see how much it will show when the bumper goes on. I need to et a fmic at some point but want it to look stealthy. where are you sourcing your pipes from?
-
still searching for them, ASH are out of stock for a few weeks :cry:
stealth is king imho thats why i want black hoses on the front so you wont notice it
-
Flipping heck! Cannot wait to see that fitted properly!
-
so a few shots of how it going
cut the bottom of the latch bracket

cut away some of the panel to help bring the intercooler as far back as possible
(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/6A588D4B-D3D9-4B9E-BCA7-61B3B1198BFD-1569-000000C73BDA36A2.jpg)

cut an access out and drilled into the frame (where the bumper fixes on to) to fix the intercooler on to
(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/4252741F-296D-42A9-A85B-10BA114381A3-1569-000000C740EE8AD7.jpg)

offered up crash bar and marked and cut it
(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/2A4F6C10-5F59-4891-85F3-01DCCE8C9828-1569-000000C74A09F76A.jpg)
and fitted

offered the bumper on and gave it a little trim, but still needs a bit more, but that will come when i get the hoses on.
(http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i408/rioracer/21C1331B-6CFD-4393-85B4-632ED97A1D78-1569-000000C75255067B.jpg)
thats all the main work done for now, bumper shouldnt take long to finish once its on :smiley:
-
That look snug mate want to see it with pipe work now, will you still be able to get the grills in?
-
well i do want to but i can see i will have to cut quite a bit out, so im gonna cut the whole of the side vents out, (well, where the intercooler pipe comes out, and bring it back at an angle) so in theory the mesh would sit flush on the surface :smug: , if ya get what i mean :undecided:
-
You lost me mate but think I get it,, you do mine :)
-
top work mate looks like a perfect fit.
i cant decide between your exxhaust for sale or a FMIC for my next mod decitions decitions

Cheers bud, I'd say exhaust, it's less of a ball ache than doin this cooler, and its cheaper, and you'll notice more difference- performance and sound..... But I would say that!!!! :grin: :laugh:
-
I just need to get one of them bumpers now :grin:
-
I seen one of them before, then it took off :laugh:
looks ace though, wish i had the spare funds for the petrol aftermath though :sad: as i would be all over this like a rash
-
complete ball ache gettin mine lined up as Rio knows!
mine is lower to the ground too, due to a mistake on my part :whistle:
Looks :cool: already Rio, lets hope you get the piping sorted, have you ordered it all yet?
I have some left over from mine, a couple of ali 45 degree ones and some other random silicone parts too
-
Rio chap, struggling to reply to your pms, so il post in here :smiley:
this was the outcome of my 45* pipe

Petrol aftermath??
I put the bumper on first to see the lowest it could go... But I won't get it any higher than it is now!!!!
Nice one, I'ma pm u Dalo :wink:
Nice one Chris that looks the nuts, that sits perfect did you use a 90 red. Off the core on the r/h/s and a 45 red off the car on the l/h/s? Also what cooler did u use

Cheers bud really pleased with how its all come together cosidering there just bends and lenths.
Im running a toysports cooler not as big as the welly cooler, but Im running devils own Water methanol injection kit so my intake temps are going to be insanely low compared to the welly cooler anyway.
For the cold side Im using my original hard pipe as it was already 2.5" as apposed to the hotside which was 1.75" :rolleyes:
cold side

Hot side from cooler; a 63mm 90* silicone bend, 63mm 90* alloy bend, 63mm 90* silicone bend, 63mm 300mm straight alloy coupler, 63mm 45* Silicone bend, 63mm 45* alloy bend (with n75 & dv take offs), 63mm 90* silicone, 63mm alloy couple 100mm long, 63mm-45mm Silicone reducer onto the turbo outlet.
hope that helps :wink:

top man!!... would love that cold side pipe but they wont sell it seperatly :sad:
do you recon this 100mm pipe would be too close to the turbo to have the d/v and n75 take off on it??
-
When ordering/fitting a FMIC do I need to keep an eye out for the MAP sensor flange,aswell as the dv&n75 takeoffs??
I'd always just thort that all I needed was the MAP sensor flange???
Well confused now.

yer I was quite fortunate that the cold side already 2.5", dunno why they had to restrict the hot side to 1.75" :sick:
My 100mm alloy joiner isnt even visible as both the silicone joints touch because of the restricted height issue. So had to use the alloy.45* for take off points

What weve done is DIY'd a fmic kit ie brought eve ything individual. If your buying a kit it should already have the take offs needed. If it doesnt have a map flange forge sell them for £40 then you just need.to get it welded :wink:

if this is with 150mm legs can it be cut down or did you have to cut the 90 on top of the turbo (100 mm ally pipe) down to fit?

I'm pretty sure I'v seen smaller cars than that IC! It's hugeeeeee!!
What sort of gain are you hoping to achieve from it? :smiley:

Mines turning in to a bit or a diy kit its self mate.i no i can get the map flange from awsome gti or forge and the dv take off is already fitted but what did u use for a n75 valve take off?is it jist a smaller version of the dv take off??

just thought i would put the results of the intake temps up as its now running.
wasnt to redline but at:
5200rpm the standard intercooler was at 36 degrees c
5200rpm the 'beast' was showing at 12 degrees c
very pleased at the results :smiley:

So good for the price!!

Now add Meth injection into the equation :wink: ......... :laugh:
-
Good results! Does it feel like it has more torque?

What will that bring them down to...... NO NO NO more monies to spend!!! NOOOO

Don't really know as its a bit too wet to give it any beans!!! Will have to wait for a dry day to log results for any lag ect..

just done a bit of logging and the intake temp was as low as 4 degrees!!!!
just thought i would throw it out there!!!!
-
It looks awersome in real life aswell :tongue:
-
glad you have had to cut into to the bumper that much as well, makes me feel better chopping the f**k out of mine! :smiley:

Yeah deffo like seein lately loads of work goin into alot of these cars :smiley:
Cheers mate I will!!!!
-
That look really really good mate :)
-
mine an rios cars will be very similar when we are both finished te only real difference will the turbos i believe as mine will be a slightly different k03s hybrid to rios one
-
I'm in the ARZ club :kiss:
-
You 2 are still well ahead of me

What spec hybrid are you going for asbo mate?
-
All I know is 300bhp it will flow I will find out more when I pick it up I literally drop off ans had to rush home due to my kitchen being turned into a swimming pool by my mum and me being closer than my dad once I know spec ans everything I will post up for you
-
Ok mate, just it seems like there's loads of us going the hybrid route at the moment, would be good to see the end results!
-
I think it's because of the ease of fitting it all from where I stand
-
I already had my K03s and got it for a bargain (it had covered 16k) and I paid £250
