Best automotive intercooler parts according to redditors

Sure, looks like a few places make intercooler kits, there isn't enough room for a supercharger so you'll have to stick to turbo(s).


Basically you're doing your turbo conversion at the same time since the plumbing in these kits are designed for turbo versions.


Then you'll really have cold, condensed air, instead of just sticking a cone in a wheel well that doesn't really do anything.


Tl;dr: Skip what you're trying to do now, go all the way later.

It could be that too.

Here's another example of a finished product if it helps. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Intake-Turbo-Intercooler-Piping/dp/B00KSVDJYK

I'm not aware of any specific products, but if they were out there, I assume it would've just been a standard (and overpriced) silicone sleeve - which you could just measure the E-Nano's diameter and match it to the I.D. of a piece of silicone tubing yourself.

They're generally not too expensive and you can pick from any color/style. You can get a non-glossy style that looks pretty clean (can't see the ridges) and has a nice "fabric-y" feel to them. I run them on one of my cars, don't remember where I got them though...

Those are meant for motor/plumbing system applications, which is likely what you're going to see in the size you'd need. They'll work fine, but you may get a bit of a rubbery smell when warmed for a while...

You could also use a wrist (sweat) band. The ones I have would fit perfectly around an E-Nano without slipping, but it's putting nylon near an electric heater. I don't think it would be an issue, but I don't know how much that would bother you.

I um...use those on my all aluminum shift knob in the Winter/Summer.

I have no idea why any idea I'm coming up with is from my damn cars lol.

Past that, I don't really know dude.

Anything else I can think of is probably gonna look ghetto or leave adhesive/residue on the E-Nano...which I'd avoid.

The intercooler is actually just sitting on the rad support. I think I put rubber under the feet. You can see in one of the pics the bar that spans the 2 verticals. The bolts through that have hooks on the end and hook to the bar of steel bolted to the top of the IC to kind of clamp it in place. It's not perfect but it works. It's simple and makes it relatively easy if I have to pull it for some reason.

This is the actual kit I used to plumb mine. Had to order a few other adapters to make it hook up to the turbo and intake manifold, but that's about it.

Edit: Sorry if I like to ramble. I'm weirdly passionate about two things.

1. Mk1 Volkswagens
   
2. Old VW diesels.
   
   Oh, and turbochargers. Everything should be diesel and turbocharged in my world. Haha

Oh yeah I actually did it in the fall on my '06 DC SR5. Right before they switched to the winter blend and my mileage went down to 13 or 14 over the winter. But now that the summer blend is back, I get 17+ mpg. But I also replaced my spark plugs and got new tires, so maybe it helped?

I used this silicone tube: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TGPJVCI/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes because that means you're getting back pressure through your turbo. Here's the exact solenoid I replaced mine with. Only took about 15 minutes, havent had an issue since.
