If i try it i'll probably run my lenth of piping before entering the intercooler, snake it underneath, 180 it back around and up to the intercooler. I have even thought about trying to build a small intercooler to fit that area. Maybe hide it behind the bumper and try to direct some air to it. I've been a fabricator for a pretty long time so building wont be an issue. Just thought it might be an interesting thing to try to increase my intercooler volume. It wont cost to much for materials.. So you guys think this could work or have i gone mad??  |
if your going to go thru all that trouble..might i suggest an air-to-liquid intercooler. i run one on my car, and i LOVE it. plus the pressure drop is almost ZERO. just a thought, and guarenteed cooler temps. an air to liquid intercooler can exceed 100% efficiency(meaning your intake manifold temps can be below ambient temp)
