what about a blowoff valve, what size intercooler pipes, what size intercooler, what manifold?
Wow 3.0" ic pipes? That's way too big. Get 2.5 in if you plan on running high boost later on, or 2.25 if you're staying with low boost.Vtec_Sound on Jan/23/06 said:Oh yeah...
Greddy BOV, 3.0" IC pipes, and the manifold will be built by a local shop Apex Motorsports Tempe, also installing turbo setup.
The intercooler I have to read up on to see what size. I don't want to go overkill but I need one big enough.
You're wrong about that. There is MORE of a pressure drop with bigger piping. Also, the bigger the intercooler, the MORE of a pressure drop. So it's not necessarily good to go with a big intercooler unless you're running a lot of boost.Riake on Jan/23/06 said:Why is 3 inch to big? There is less pressure drop with 3 inch compared to 2.5 or 2.25. The air also only slows down a little bit. It slows down so little that you wont even feel the difference.
Honestly, I'm beyond help - lol. I need all the info on this I can get. I'm buying it peiece by piece throughout the next 6 months and I need to know EVERYTHING YOU GOT before hand. Thanks in advance.ThumpnB18GSR on Jan/23/06 said:...this isnt a debate about intercooler pipe size he just wants ifno on his setup

Actually you are incorrect.... you can't call it a pressure drop or loss. You need to call it a lag in building pressure due to the increased volume in the IC and piping compared to a smaller volume IE: 2.25".SRH_Integra on Jan/23/06 said:Quote: Riake on Jan/23/06Why is 3 inch to big?

I just wanted to clarify that for everyone.
