    After putting some final touches on our pipe design in 3D modeling software, we concluded the design phase of this project. With only inspection of our final prototype and final test fitting on the agenda, this project was nearly complete.

    Check out a look at the final prototypes we worked up!

    As noted previously, these pipes are constructed from aluminum, mandrel-bent piping. This will provide the rigidity and smooth flow you want within your CAC system.

    3D Pipe Models

    As with all our projects, we would be using 3D modeling software (Solidworks) to put our final design into both 3D and drawing forms. Not only does this put our design into a viewable format, but it also allows for digital tweaks as well as confirmation of fitment and precision with the overall product design.

    Check out the rendering below showing our projected cold-side pipe design.

    Ford made this one fairly easy for us. This pipe features a pretty smooth shape and routes from the intercooler to the throttle body. An aluminum counterpart is going to be a huge improvement over the stock rubber hose referenced in the last post. Each connection point will be secured with a Mishimoto silicone coupler and our T-bolt clamps for a solid connection. Note the

    We popped this unit off to inspect it a bit further. Three hose clamps, one electrical connection, and two push clips and this piece was out of the car.

    The turbocharger has a standard coupler connection, which quickly transfers into a 90-degree bend to head toward the intercooler.

    The intercooler connection is 58mm (2.25") in diameter and features a metal insert for improved rigidity and reduced chance of cracking or damaging the pipe when torquing down the clamps. This portion of the pipe connects to a short rubber coupler that mates the pipe to the intercooler.
