sounds good... how will you routing the intercooler piping ???

**A-man** · 13-01-2008 12:15 AM

i have to relocate the batery and then go under the a/c compressor and hopefully the manifold wont hit on the thermo fan, it seems easy enough but i have to make a bracket to mount the cooler and i need time to get the manifold and what not on..

if anyone in perth has a b18a i can measure up and maybe trade off stuff with things ive modified that would b a huge help, i need to drill into the oil pan thats the only real problem im going to have, once the cooler is mounted.

i have a question wheres the fuel pump?

what specs are the fuel pump?

what specs r the injectors?

can i get some pics to? plz

im trying to collate all this information im getting and make a website up for others when im done for hints and tips and how tos.

That should answer a few of your questions, but basically for a simple turbo set up you won't need a new fuel pump, but you will need larger injectors.

Where are you going to route the piping after going under the compressor? most of the guys in the states drill a hole in the chassis rail to access the area where the washer bottle sits. I would recommend that you dont do this, if you got defected and they picked this up then your car could be off the road for a while getting the hole welded up again.
I think that this is a better option-

that seems like the easiest way with both pipes coming through the driver side.. but more piping = more lag

u just cant with the shitty design of our cars !!

i was just goin to go underneath the whole car.... :P

**A-man** · 13-01-2008 05:10 PM

nah ill prob re route the washer bottle.... i want to run water/methonal injection aswell so i need to keep that bottle somewhere in the car.

**mooshie** · 13-01-2008 07:27 PM

I don't reckon the lag would be that bad, it only adds about a foot or two to the length of the piping. For the sake of cutting bits out of the car I reckon it is way better, another option I have seen is to cut through the radiator support and bring it through to the front before it goes past the A/C and P/S pumps, at least then you can replace the rad support.

yeh i had a upgraded cooler on my supra and it wasnt noticable when i was boosting the lag

i like this option better. It is shorter than the example above and using 2" piping on the hot side, it should negate the disadvantages of the slightly longer piping:
