Intercooler Pipe-right Side
Created on 2008-09-16 19:24:00
The intercooler was build and fitted last year, with the intent I would work out the pipe routing "later". I guess it's now later. I am starting with the "cold pipe", the intercooler to throttle body. In order to limit the pipe bends, I needed to dish out the inner fender. That new plasma cutter sure comes in handy! I am modeling the pipes with ABS first, then I'll bend and weld the aluminum pipes. This side will be 2.50 diameter, with a single 45 deg bend in the middle, a 45 deg coupler at the intercooler, and a straight coupler at the throttle body.
