actually i thought the same thing until i i found a large izuzu npr intrecooler i front mounted it and used just less then 4 ft of piping and it has minimum bends
I am toying with the idea of using the same IC. it mounts very nicely inforont of the rad.

we get a lot of those 100+ days here. I'd like to do that mostly for the "non-boost" driving. My AI system alone works better than any intercooler... But in the summer, out of boost, the temps climb here.

I like the idea of having a little insurance if something went wrong with the AI, but the intercooler will actually hurt my current AITs. My pre compressor jet will be useless if that mixture then has to go through a physical intercooler... That is what I suspect at least.

It won't be useless, it'll have the effect of not letting the air temp rise as much through the intercooler as if you didn't have it.

Intercoolers are just temperature percentage modifiers. Cooler air in means cooler air out, even if the intercooler acts to heat the air up.

i will do some tests once I get the intercooler, but through the tests I've done already, the pre-compressor jet is the one that effects the AITs the best. The Post-Compressor jet is more for knock deterrent... that's why it's a larger jet.

What I am expecting is that the awesome drop I'm seeing in AITs will be neutralized by the intercooler. And I will only see a moderate drop in AITs.

I am curious to see the difference between an intercooler with the pre-comp jet and an intercooler without the pre-comp jet.

What you're expecting should pretty much be on the money.

ummm where did u find a s4 adaptor? no one makes them. To hook it up ull have to search for the wiring, its simple. ull also have get a FD tps connector, along with mocking up a custum way to allow the mechanical omp to work, ull have to shorten the oil fill tube and modify the fd upper mounting holes

yes but if you read the description says -only for s5- because the s4 has different ports....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=300296183470

do you have s4 or s5 lim?

Okay so while I am waiting for the spacer to arrive I am trying to figure out the FD UIM vacuum system. I took some pics so hopefully you guys can tell me if I am on the right track.





These three nipples go right into the intake runners so these should all get boost/vacuum right? Okay for boost gauge/controller or BOV vac sources?





A) Is this the air intake temperature sensor? How do I hook it up to my harness?
1)vacuum???
2)vacuum???
3)vacuum???
4)vacuum???



5)Pressure Sensor Vac Line
6)vacuum???
7)vacuum???
8)solenoid???
9)solenoid???
10)For brake booster?
11)Double Throttle - can I still use this?

I just need to know which nipples see vacuum and which see vacuum and boost so I can hook up the following items:


Boost Gauge
Boost Controller
BOV
Pressure Sensor
Oil Injector Spider
Fuel Injector Bleeds
Purge Control Valve

Right, I just need vacuum for a for things.

is there anyway to retain the double throttle system? or do you need a specific FD solenoid and ecu for it to work?

Alright, well thanks again for the info.

I just looked up the TPS rewire info, does this look right?

When looking directly at the FD TPS (when the push tab release is up), there are 4 pins.
1 - Ground
2 - Signal (Narrow range)
3 - (+5V)
4 - Signal (Full range)


Series 4 TPS Wiring---Series 6 TPS Wiring---------Series 6 TPS pin

Orange (+5V)---------BR/W - 5V+------------------3 - (+5V)
Green/Red Signal-----G/R - Narrow Range TPS---2 - Signal (Narrow range)
Black/Red Ground-----BR/B - Ground-------------- 1 - Ground
-------------------------- B/G - Full Range TPS-------4 - Not Used


I don't have the FD TPS connector though.

I cleaned up the UIU today, removed the double throttle valves and all the useless solenoids and crud, even ground off a few pieces of brackets to smooth it out a bit.

did you match the ports on the s5 lim to your s4 block?
