Oh crap that looks sweet!

What are those pipes made out of?

Dammit, BEGI or Perrin... can't decide. AAAAHHH!(Like I have the money right now anyways) Soon enough. Soon enough.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Very nice, and with brakets and all! The engineering on that kit looks well thought out!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

IIRC the pipes are powdercoated steel, I'll ask exactly what kind and get back to you.

 

[low_psi]

wow, looks hot.

I can't wait to talk to my adjuster on Monday!

 

[MSPinVA]

holy s***. I just noticed...... it looks like it uses the stock piping and stock bends.... and doesnt come with a lower intercooler pipe...... meaning will this bolt up to any aftermarket hardpipe kit??!!1/????!/1/?!?

 

[low_psi]

I'm pretty sure you get a new cold pipe if the kit allows for a larger radiator to drop in.

 

[MSPinVA]

but it looks like it follows the stock location.... does anyone else see this besides me?

 

[peepsalot]

Man, I just looked again at those pics, and I'm not trying to knock this product or anything, but it looks like 1/3 to maybe 1/2 of the intercooler is blocked by the frame there on the bottom! I've just never seen such a closeup picture of an intercooler on our cars before. Damn, I guess all front mounts would have this problem though.

 

[Aricjm15]

it does not use the stock pipes, aleast not on the hot side, on the cold side it looks as if it would connect with the stock pipe
Corky was told to leave room for a larger radiator, dont know if he did or not.
Is a larger radiator really needed? who can honestly say they are having overheating problems in their MSP?

 

[SpeedBeaver]

WOW! Looking good!

Just a question... why everybody except iON decided to route the piping back to the driver side? Wouldn't have been better to just go from the passenger's side to the turbo to keep the piping shorter?

(Just intrigued with the design layout)

 

[low_psi]

I don't want a larger radiator for overheating issues, but let's think about this:

NA Protege + full size radiator

MSP + smaller radiator + heat pump w/ ineffective intercooler

Heat is the enemy of power, so keeping the motor's temps down will help with reliability, longevity and power issues.

SpeedBeaver, the HiBoost and Pannauto kit has a similar piping route, iON and SPOOL were the only companies to opt for the hot pipe to go towards the passenger side. The powersteering and A/C lines are right there and routing piping that way requires tight bends and then either cutting the body or going under the body to the intercooler's inlet.

ya wagner's goes back to the driver's side too

 

[MSPinVA]

Can anyone give a ballpark price on this setup?

 

[low_psi]

around 900, give or take $200.

 

[1sty]

around 900, give or take $200.

Sounds good, now how do I get Corky to build them for the STi too (shrug)

 

[Captain KRM P5]

around 900, give or take $200.

i am hoping it is cheaper than the other FMIC designs out there. I plan on calling on monday to find out.

 

[31R]

nice!

 

[low_psi]

So does it come with a new cold pipe or does it use the stock plastic pipe?

I've read the entire thread and cannot find the dimensions of the I/C. Also, wouldn't aluminum be better then steel on the pipes, with heat soak taking place and all...????<ENDL; do p box.< the of out buck for bang most want I but that, about concerned to not I?m so HP massive making on planning one. this compared huge is intercooler design Perrin at Looking moment. us alloted are that pics observations my just radiator, P5 stock a in put able be going your over way pipe cold move have you unless it, with goes everything such as and Turbo?s mofo Corky steel? happening soak heat talking everyone when aluminum then other steel use why Anyway, hehehe!! bored. yeah oh>
