need help to install EVO X OEM IC
Hi gents,
I was wondering how to fit EVO X OEM IC on my RA09+ using stock UICP & LICP. I read some threads about this topic but I didn't found an exact reply about couplers dimensions. Do I need to replace stock coupler to fit RA09+ UICP on EVO X IC inlet? What are the reducer dimensions I need to fit EVO X IC outlet to RA09+ LICP? Thanks :headbang: |
I have an extra evo X oem top intercooler pipe. If you dont want to mod, its an easy 50$ and ill send it to you. That way you dont need to mess around with couplers, keep a stock look, but will get a slight gain from the larger pipe.

2.5" straight silicone coupler for i/c to licp

yes, inlet will be reusable, but may need to be shortened a bit
|
about to do the x intercooler swap.
So to confirm. All i need are 2.5 -2.5in couplers (straight)? Will be using RA stock pipes for now. Thanks! |
I believe if you keep the stock Ralliart LICP you need to get a 2.5 to 2.25 reducer or the couplers will blow off. I tried to ghetto rig my stock LICP and it worked for a bit but I ended up having to buy a reducer because the pipe kept blowing off.
|
Thanks will run to local performance store and grab the reducer!

how the hell do you guys get it to fit with the stock LICP with just a reducer coupler??
I tried that but the LICP is too long and If I fit the coupler it keeps pushing the FMIC to the passanger side, so it doesn't align and rubs the air conditioner radiator... Im confused |

Im confused My solution was to use a spare EVO X rubber upper intake pipe and cut it up to use as couplers, works great. As for your I/C moving there should be 2 bolts on the bottom that bolts into the frame to keep it in place. |
Couplers aside how would I go about fitting the stock RA UICP to an Evo X IC, since the RA piping is longer. Would I need the Evo X UICP or an aftermarket one to fit?
|
You'll need an EvoX UICP, or an aftermarket EvoX UICP. Or you could cut up your existing UICP to make it work (I don't recommend doing this).
|
Yes, that does sound logical (not cutting).
I've acquired all the piping/intercooler for a full Evo X intercooler swap. Is the LICP direct fit into the RA? (It looks like there's slight differences in piping in this photo) http://norcalmotorsports.org/users/b...C_pipes_02.jpg |
it's almost a direct fit. you'll need to devise your own way to get the BPV to connect to it, which isn't too difficult. I believe there is a how to on it...
