I have a suggestion for a replacement pipework system.

I was wondering, is there a possibility of building a setup for us that dont want to change the current OEM inlet manifold or throttle body position but wish to shorten the induction system and increase the capabilities of the boosted pipework?

Its more inclined for the people like myself who have previously purchased an aftermarket intercooler with the outlets and inlets on the same side as the factory intercooler.

We currently have std pipework or even one of the bling engine bay pipe kits that does nothing to help the air induction length for the turbo.

I was thinking something like this-

Part 1- XR6 turbo airbox kit- Intake with the airbox (Like the Plazmaman or Process West one)

Possibly no need for the battery to be installed inside the airbox as it would be easier to use the void where the current airbox will be removed from to make a bracket and put the battery over there.

(either re wire the positive and negitive earth to their required positions from there or extend the battery wires across the other side- whatever is easier)

I personally cant use the Process west intake as I have my Tranny cooler and a big thermo fan mounted inside the guard at that position?

Part 2- Turbo outlet to bottom of Intercooler pipe- Im not sure if there is something in of the kits already made for this?

Part 3- Power upgrade pipe- To get from the intercooler back to the engine bay and replace the Cast pipe (Either like the Process west or PWR or Plazmaman one)

Part 4- Stage 1 pipe kit (EG Plazmaman or the Process West development pipe)- but throttle body pipe only- this gets us from the under battery power pipe back across the motor to the throttle body.

Just wondering if there would be any clashes between the air intake pipe from the airbox to the turbo, and the stage 1 pipe from the powerpipe to the throttle body, as they were never designed to be used together?

Any ideas? has anyone got a similar setup? I thought something like this should be relatively inexpensive ($1500-$2000) and very worthwile for those running standard engines.

Anything guys??

I've got something similar but only the under battery pipe at the moment.

Have a look at the hyperflow website and it shows a couple of setups.

The Hyperflow IC is extremely efficient flowing. The tanks are top and bottom and inlet/outlet on the same side. The site also shows a couple of different setups ie the Boss 2 and Boss 3 kits which are the full piping kits.

I'd be interested in a full setup soon.

I have a Hyperflow intercooler and they are extremely efficient.

I have looked at the hyperflow pipe kits and wont buy one for the following reasons-

1- They still pull air from the STD airbox which is a waste of time and $$$ for a chrome pipe to do that.

2- Its bad enough sitting the throttle body on the rocker cover, but sitting the throttle body and its plastic TPS sensor directly above the exhaust manifold doesnt appeal to be too smart to me.

3- The last time I looked at them the were way too $$$
