Turbocharger intercooler piping size

[KalebM]

Ok cool so ive seen that some people say that all the piping has to be the same length for the manifold, is this true? Ive got a design which will have 1 a bit shorter is that ok?

At the end of the day its not a race car where you need to squeeze every last kw out of it. I would make them so its easy to work on the car. eg don't have to remove the manifolds to change spark plugs ect. just my 2 cents.

Plenty of log manifolds and factory cars that don't use tuned length that are producing bucket loads of power. I somehow don't think you're going to reach the point at which it would make a difference with a China turbo and and a stock Ecotec bottom end with Ecotec compression.

A little bit shorter is ok but how much shorter are you talking it can make one cylinder run a different fuel ratio than all the rest .

So this is the design to some degree not the best drawing but ya get that seems that is should be fine but im not 100%

 

[KalebM]

Any thoughts onthe design? Is it **** or good? Want to be sure

Should be fine once you build a collector your plans might change on where the pipes go
