cutting universal intercooler pipping for a camaro
I have a universal 3 inch intercooler pipe kit , it comes with 8 pieces , I'm looking for some pics or a basic direction on where to cut this bends for making the less welds possible and getting the most of the material.. I know is very common kit and tons of builds with it , but can't get clear pics of what piece goes to what place on the routing..
2 straight
2 U bends
2 90 degrees
2 45 degrees
Front mount ic inlet in driver side and outlet pass side ;placing t⁴ turbo in front engine, battery recolation to trunk is possible.
Looks to me those pieces you're given in the kit are "a little bit of everything" so you can route the pipes however you'd like. It's up to you to design the system. When I do exhaust or headers, I try an use the best bend possible even of it means I need to buy another bend. Meaning, fr example, I'd rather buy another 180 degree bend then use a 45, a 30, a 15 and a 90 to make the same bend. Looks nicer and is a lot less work. Just take your time and plan it out on paper before you cut anything. Good luck.
Funny no bead rolls on the ends. Blue tape and a hacksaw is your best friend. I also made similar to this tool to bead roll the ends. Just tack weld it onto your vise grips
If that home-made bead roller tool works in the pic above, then it is worth it, I just paid $248 for tig welding my intercooler pipes together and some of them already had bead rolled ends. Had to cut some pipes up to get them where I needed them.
Around $95/hr for tig welding aluminum, so if you can't make a bead roller tool, put it in your go-fast budget.
