Hilton Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I crawled under the car today, and yeah, there's no room... anywhere. I looked for a good ten minutes, but couldn't find space to run a 2.25" pipe. Looks like it's going over the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatman10523 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 there is no benefit, the only loss you see is from the friction of the air moving through the pipe and you will see that anyway...potential energy is conserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerymt Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 You're given the LUXURY of a factory turbo car. Everything fits with premade piping, yet there's always someone who wants to do it differnetly just because....like a 240 owner I know who installed his intercooler upside down with the inlet/outlet on the bottom. The stock 740 piping would have fit with it installed the right way, but nooooooo, had to be different. What a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose to purchase a car that is a factory turbo car. Nice signature by the way. I bet your car is FAST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachRat Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I thought about this, actually. I want to turn my driver's seat and steering wheel around so they face the other way, too. Can anyone help me with this little project next Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet your car is FAST!!!So you added the turbo and intercooler and plumbing youself? Or the factory provided a working turbo system? I didn't say you were given the CAR.My car is only fast when it runs.Definitely don't call Towery.you're right. I can't top you when it comes to spare parts for a 1980 242 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelostartof Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 for those wanting the shortest path of intercooler pipes IF tthere was space under the trans and what not i think it would be a good idea to clock the turbo outlet to point down and run the intercooler pipes there to the bottom of the intercooler or to a FMIC and then from the other side come up to the TB or just out the top of the intercooler to the TB would clean up the look a lot .. and having the hot side pipes under the car would also help drop thier temps just a little more from all of that cool air flowing undernext 850 i run into i will have to check for space as that is a clever idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
