FEELER: custom intake/intercooler piping?

Binford · Post by **Binford** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 4:52 am

As was noticed in this thread

http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... highlight=

there seems to be some interest in custom piping. If I could get a count of how many people would be interested in these I could make some up, and I'd rather not have a bunch leftover! I'll list some approximate prices for what I think a fair price would be. Let me know!

Intake pipe (extended version of "coffee mug mod") $30 + shipping
BOV adapter $10 + shipping
Steel y-pipe (requires stock TMIC flanges) $45

Also, if anyone can confirm that the y-pipe would have to be shorter on the '06-up TMIC it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'd completely be game for that intake pipe.

The one that I currently have and can duplicate is for the '02 to '05. I don't know the difference in y-pipes beyond that, so i don't know if it could be usable on the newer style.

Is anyone actually interested in the BOV adapter? I know you can get an aluminum one for pretty cheap. I'm thinking of editing my first post here to delete that.

Where is the air return for the valve covers? im interested in possibly buying the pipe to use it to make a CAI for my FMIC

I'm sure if you made some bov adapters, people would buy them. I've already gone atmospheric, so thats not an issue for me. I am interested in the intake pipe. I have an 06 tmic, what measurements do you need?

i'm in for all three, please ( 02-05 TMIC version).

If the price is right, I want one of those intake pipes... Looks alot better than a cheap coffee mug under the hood.

I'd go for the intake pipe and the TMIC pipe (02-05).

I would go for the intake pipe, and as for the Y-pipe, I have both an 02 and an 06(maybe 07) intercooler sitting at home, Ill check to see if they are the same length. But I am correct in assuming that this will remove the need to use extra piping when connecting it to a TD-04 or similar turbo?

If that is the case
I'm down for a intake and a Y-pipe

And I'll check Y-pipe lengths as soon as I get home.

Funny you mention this, before I saw your FS thread I thought about fabbing an intake myself. I'd be interested, as long as I don't have to block my PCV valve off

Using the 06 tmic with a 02-05 wrx silicone hose I had to lengthen silicone "Y" hose going to the vf39 about and inch. I think with this combo Frantic 4 also installed the same with a For XT silicone kit fit a lot easier between the intercooler inlets.

The y-pipe would just need a 90* rubber/silicone elbow from the turbo outlet, and (2) rubber/silicone couplers. I'll take my car apart to take pics of my setup so everyone has a better understanding.

Here we go, sorry its late...

The pipes are pretty similar, except the one on the 02 (the one on top), is about 1/2 in longer and 1/2 in shorter.

I would be down for the intake pipe.

this would be made out of steel right?

BlockerImp · Post by **BlockerImp** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:13 am

id be down for all 3 if you could do it for the 06' tmic.

Hopefully spitfire's pictures helps, if so i dont mind spending the cash to be a guinea pig on the first one.

Dusty B · Post by **Dusty B** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 2:17 pm

Ditto on the 06/07 tmic stuff.
(mostly interested in intake pipe though)

_Aramchek_ · Post by **_Aramchek_** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 9:00 pm

I forgot,I'll need a BOV adapter too.

I'm looking for some time to post a proper reply.........Stay tuned!

The too cast pieces that bolt to the intercooler are further apart on the 06 than the 03. I havn't had the chance to measure the distance, but I'm gonna throw it out there that it is different.

You setup looks great!

Depending on your schedule, I'm in for the 'coffee-cup mod' and, if you can, the Y-pipe adapter for a '06 TMIC.

And pics when you get'em would be cool, too.

Thanks!
