2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 17-05-2014

Hi all does this attach to standard rubber joiner off turbo. As im at that stage now and doesn't look like it does.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 17-05-2014

if its the c5 u need a 41mm long leg 90° bud


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 17-05-2014

No it's the 406 2.2 one mate. Im sure someone said ir connects straight to standard pipe. But just looks abit tight. I didn't want to go cutting the standard recirc pipe and then it doesn't fit as I will be screwed.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 17-05-2014

Well I realise I should have got the 110 bottom pipe instead. but hopefully now I have just bought a silicone 90° it will fit.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 17-05-2014

is it the one thats just round? with a small inlet on one end and big outlet on the other?

Im sure mine was off a c5 but they might be the same. If so its the long legged 90 u need then Smile


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 17-05-2014

Kind of mate yeh. From offering it up looks like I just need the 90 I hope. So will give it ago next weekend.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 17-05-2014

have you a picture of it and I could confirm?


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 17-05-2014

Same as this mate.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 17-05-2014

aye looks the same as mine, the 90 will sort it.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 18-05-2014

Sweet cheers I've just got the standard 90 but looks rather large so may have to cut it down a tad. Do you have to cut standard recirc pipe off?

I mean standard as in silicone samco not long legged. But stll lools as though it will work Smile


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 18-05-2014

yeah the 41mm (think its 41?) are usually long legged anyway mate.

I done mine with the engine out as it just so happened I was swapping engines anyway.

Think most so cut it in hakf though yeah.

No you shouldnt, the HDi 110 pipe is shit, its restrictive and it needs cut down at the end which in turn weakens it which leads to boost leaks.

The 2.2 HDi pipe and appropriate 90*silicone is the only sensible option.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 18-05-2014

Cheers guys I think it should be sorted now then Smile I may get some pictures of it when done so people can see nothing out there showing you.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 19-05-2014

That would be good, i will be fitting mine very soon, so would be handy to see pictures.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 19-05-2014

Yeh ill try get some must remember as it will help alot of people out.

Nice one !


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 24-05-2014

im taking my engine out I can show you boys what way it sits when the engines out


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - Poodle - 24-05-2014

There's not much to see tbf, it'll only go on one way lol. It's only called the c5 pipe because that's what Chris found one on, it's actually the 2.2HDi pipe, as you've worked out by the looks of it.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 24-05-2014

Just cause youve seen it and know what way it goes, makes it seem easy.

Same for myself.

I know when I was doing it before I was worried about how it would all fit together but its easy now ive done it.

Wee photo or two would help im sure.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 24-05-2014

As above, i have got all the bits but keep putting it off, a few pics would be really useful.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 24-05-2014

I have some guys but like poodle says can't really see alot from it.

All the pics are upside down I think


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - Dum-Dum - 24-05-2014

That looks right though dude. Think I would of run the PAS pipe a little differently IIRC. It does make alot more sense once you've done a few times.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 24-05-2014

Yeh I understand now mate hard to make sense of it before doing it. I must admit worst job I've ever done on a car. My engine conversion from astra to saab turbo was easier than this little job. Hope it makes sense to people who don't know.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 24-05-2014

worst job you have ever done ?

Why is it so bad?


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 24-05-2014

Yeh mate just everything is so tight can't get to anything. Standard pipe was a bitch to get out had to cut it. Would be a lot easier on a ramp. But at the same time so so worth it made a big difference. Just got to try and fit the manual boost controller now. Then I can go stage 2 but that seems to be even worse to get to than doing the intercooler.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 25-05-2014

Yeah i can imagine it is difficult to get at everything.
I will be doing it on a ramp when i do mine, but it is just one of those jobs i keep putting off.


Re: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mcglynn - 25-05-2014

This is the way its routed at the back with the 2.2 pipe. The black pipes hanging down the bottom as it isnt fitted in the car but will give you an idea of the routing.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 25-05-2014

That makes it a bit easier thanks ! I read that you had to cut one of the legs of the 41mm 90 degree to make it a bit shorter.

Hopefully will get it sorted in the next few weeks.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - mattyh24hdi - 25-05-2014

That's a better picture ^^^^^^ you can make more sense of that.


RE: 2.2 intercooler pipe? - titch - 25-05-2014

All the pics were helpful, thanks
Do you have any other pics of the rest of the fmic ?

Cheers Titch
