Below are a
few pictures showing the intercoolers being test fit onto the driver and
passenger side of the vehicle.
Here is
what they look like when they are not on the car...
The engine
bay is pretty tight. The only way to get a larger air intake element was to
create a double headed air pipe
with two
conical air filters. Below is a shot showing the new intake setup being test fit
on the driver's side.
Here are a few
pictures showing the completed intercoolers and air intake setup.
We have codenamed this
upgrade "Scorpion".
We have completed the
intercooler and intake portion of the project. Notice the nicely formed heat
shields that
were installed around the
air filters to isolate them from the engine compartment. We used the same
factory
rubber gaskets to form
around the perimeter of the intake area so that it seals up against the hood.
Next up is dyno testing the
new intake and intercooler setup to see what power
increases we can get with
the current ECU tune.
After that we are on to the
turbos and manifolds. |
