FMIC Charge pipe and AC lines
I have an APS ST intercooler on a V35 (japan version of G35) 2003 model.
The fabricator is asking if he can take out the AC lines as they are in the way.
So problem 1: AC lines in the way of charge pipe. What have you guys done to get around this ?
Issue 2: The compressor pipe needs to be 2.5" to provide enough flow for the 6466 T4 TS 1.15 turbo. We have steering linkage on the right hand side (sitting in the car) and on the left we have the AC compressor, starter motor. See pics.
Any ideas on how to run a pipe through all of this on the left side for the compressor pipe work ?
prior HKS kit which is now removed

Thanks for the idea
Can people post pics of how theirs is setup?

Everybody puts the charge pipe through that hole there. Everybody bends the AC lines out of the way. If you are careful, it can be done without kinking. Just go slowly, takes patience and not exerting too much force. Lines can be heated with a heat gun to make it easier (especially in cold weather). I have a 3" pipe going through there, by the way.

This man is right. Heat is key I toasted a condenser by not doing this. And the aftermarket ones are even harder to bend.
