Which ebay intercooler.... and what diameter intercooler piping size you guys running...... Going on 2000 ws6 with s475.....

dont wanna get something to big or to small......

Thanks

Pretty sure the outlet on the s475 is 3.5" so either get 3" or 3.5" piping and a 4" core intercooler, 31"x12"x4".

mrstepheneades

Yeah havent measures it but its pretty huge. Thanks

I would machine the v-band off and use a 3" reducer with 3" piping.

mrstepheneades

i may have to do that........

Off subject but I thought about a2a and couldn't find a reasonable 3.5"I/O a2a anywhere.

Thats because its not needed. The typical 31x12x4 and Ebay 3" tubing kit is plenty. Use a reducer off the turbo if its bigger.

mrstepheneades

Awesome so 160 dollars or so on intercooler and 100 on tubing? Sounds cheap enough lol

Hell yeah... Get'r done... that's what most of us have done! =)

Yeah, if you're to the point where you actually need a 3.5" tube cooler, you should be buying a more expensive one.

You can find them a little cheaper than that.

I have the CX Racing 31x12x4" unit on my car, looks great (haven't tested it out yet) and can't beat it for the price on less than 1000rwhp builds lol.

You can just buy the kit for $255 shipped

mrstepheneades

Sounds good then. Probably order that stuff in the next few weeks so i can start fabbing things up. Plan is to mount turbo like na$tys car. Just with of coarse little smaller turbo. Like the up high look lol. Cheapest ive seen ebay intercoolers that size around 140.....

Kit with piping? 3 in? Where?

While we're on the topic about the cold kit, you guys have any problems blowing couplers off with those kits? I was concerned about quality of the piping.

jridenour31

Piping is actually good quaility. Ends are bead-rolled so not much coupler blowing. Also holds up to welding pretty well.

mrstepheneades

Good to hear that. Seeing as ill probably have to fab the cold pipes a little bc of turbo placement.

Im running a 32x12x4 cx racing intercooler, 3 inch piping from cx,racing, with a vibrant 3 inch 90 degree bend welded on the outlet of my bw s400. Works great

I have the same ic off Ebay, never had a hose blow off in 3 years of boost. My only issue is im getting 20 psi out of the turbo and 16.5ish in the intake. Its probably a combo of the cheap ic and alot of bends going from turbo to ic to tb.
