TRD3000GT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 OK, I have a Greddy 3 row intercooler fitted and Im not 100% happy with where it sits in relation to my do-luck front bumper... Im going to need to have some CUSTOM brackets made up and the aluminium pipes are going to need to be cut and made longer in some sections . I am then having a thin plastic trim fitted around the cooler to the radiator to FORCE air through the units instead of around them... Im also having some custom cool air intake stuff sorted out.. Does anyone know EXACTLY where I can get a length of aluminum pipe that is the same size as the 3 row piping for cutting and splicing in to the original piping?

Dragonball Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Not in Ali Chris - you may find it easier to get the mild steel in 3" Give me a shout as my fabricator can make up any size / shape - but need to have a template of what you are after?

Alex Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Any decent fabrication shop in your area should be able to get pipe to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'll be able to get a bit from our fab company if you get stuck Chris. Let me know if you need a price. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would measure the radius / diameter of a Greddy 3 row pipe for me and get me about a foot of plain aluminium pipe the same size so I can get hacking and re-welding!

TRD3000GT Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 any news on this Gaz...? I want some pipe almost the same as the Greddy 3 row stuff ..

I'm sure I'm teaching Granny to suck eggs, and you've already got this covered, but you can't weld aluminium in the same way as steel. It is possible, but just not as easy. I'm not sure in the process differences between the two, but I remember that I could never get my aluminium pipes I used to design, welded to steel pipes, I had to bolt them.
