GB-IC + all piping - Will it happen?

Bern · 04-10-2008, 12:43 PM

Hi Baktash,

So the IC kit you guys have is awesome, but we've spoken a few times and you mentioned that you're in production stages of a replacement for the OEM hotpipe (the pipe that goes to the turbo, and has the BOV attached to it).

I would like to know if there are any plans to have a GB for the EMS SMIC kit with TRD clearing cold pipe, hot pipe connection, AND with this new replacement for the OEM hotpipe?

It would be an amazing way to just spruce up the engine bay in one shot, getting rid of all visible OEM piping!

Please let me know if you have any plans or anticipated dates, cause I'm holding my breath until you do!

Bern,
The new hotpipes are actually complete and are being run through the buffing process right now to get a smooth finish on them. The TRD clearing coldpipe comes standard with our IC kits.

At this point I don't think we'll be having any sort of group buy to include all of the piping. Since I think we'll probably run out of them after about a week or two with the high demand right now.

Got any pics of the new hot pipe? VERY interested.

baktasht · 04-10-2008, 01:57 PM

I'll have pics when I get the shipment in late next week.

TreyMR2 · 04-10-2008, 04:43 PM

nice, any hints on what it looks like?

baktasht · 04-10-2008, 08:48 PM

Hehe, it'll match our custom cold pipe as far as material goes. It'll be 2.5" mandrel bent stainless steel, and will come with a stock BOV flange.

TreyMR2 · 04-10-2008, 10:10 PM

is it going to take that 90 degree bend out like the KO one or is it a similar shape to the stock one?

baktasht · 04-11-2008, 06:13 AM

Our pipe more closely resembles the shape of the OEM pipe. I didn't want to get to crazy with the design, because then it wouldn't fit with other IC kits/turbos that use the OEM IC pipe.

alright I feel ya, the OEM pipe doesn't look bad the only thing that bugged me about it was it doesn't match your pipes. So as long as its similar looking to the cold pipe I'll be all over it.

baktasht · 04-11-2008, 07:45 PM

It is the same material and finish as the coldpipe

Any plans on making a replacment pipe that goes from the hot pipe to the IC (for greddy/ebay/ems cores)? When I was installing mine, I measured everything and the ID of those 90* bends were right at 2". I know you've already got a replacement 1 piece cold pipe, any plans on the other pipe?

You'll practically have your own set of better piping like KO, hot pipe, hot pipe to IC, and IC to TB.

so your gonna have a replacement for the OEM and a replacement for the 2 pipes after the hot pipe?

baktasht · 04-13-2008, 12:51 PM

We'll have replacements for ALL of the intake piping. The one that replaces the OEM hotpipe (where the BOV attaches) will not be part of our IC kit, but will be available for seperate purchase.

TreyMR2 · 04-13-2008, 02:57 PM

Yeah well since I already got the intercooler I would have to get them pipes separate anyways. Any idea on the pricing on this? Just curious how much I need to save. Lol
