anyone else think this is a wierd piping setup, is that bend not reducing ALOT of flow?

Nice setup. Nice kit. Not a big fan of the wing though lol. you should have gotten the mazda stock raised spoiler... would've looked classier with that kit.

That is not LooseChange's car, you can tell from the plates.
I've heard that it is not so much the degree of one bend, but the total degree of all bends added together that makes a difference. That is not a fact and I've not been able to find a definate answer on it, but that is what I was told once. However, that bend does look pretty extreme.

just an FYI, thats a mazdaspeed wing, or a clone of it.

we have no choice with our v6. With the turbo sitting high beside the disty, the compressor outlet and the intercooler outlet (or inlet depending on the wich side you're using as an inlet) is FAR from each other.my piping length was similar to that just behind the rad instead of in front.
Solution to this : both inlet and outlet on the same side

the wing is lame. grill looks good but y not just put a ram air at the end of the intercooler and not worry about the bend?

You guys are so weird. What I would do is get a full SS exhaust then go:

Turbo-pipe-water injection nozzle-pipe-tb

you guy still insist you guys "need" ICs, when you don't. Look at most of the turbocharged drag cars, they have water and alcohol injection...

because most of us don't just drag our cars and we don't want to have to keep a 50L tank of gas and water :-/...

water injection is good for drag cars. it's just not pratical for everyday use. I don't see myself filling a water/alcool tank every day !

I prob have about 5-6 feet of intercooler pipe the way i did mine..im to lazy to measure probabaly even less.

Who says you need to fill it everyday?? A tank of water with water injection lasts you about 2 fill ups of gas. And then all you use is the Windshield washing fluid, just the 50/50 mix without any detergents and you are set. There are numurous RX7 guys using it because you get like 5 degree C air instead of close to 30 degrees C...

So, it is not just for drag cars. and BTW, I live in a Muscle town City where there are 100s of fixed up muscle cars. Most of them use water injection with their supercharged cars so they can push 500+whp out of a small block 350 and still drive them everyday without blowing the engine...
