well I have almost finished the front mount intercooler. All that I need is the t bolt hose clamps that should be in tuesday. My old set up used the factory intercooler from the 3rd gen, which had to have ductwork running to it.

 

Looks nice man. What tranny did you use? If you used the FD tranny, can you take pics of the mounts?

 

yea i used the fd tranny, the fc is just as good though. The mounts are pretty strait forward....I used L bar and basically made it work.

 

Looks badass bro,

"Twin Turbo FB" It just sounds nice!!

 

Thanks...
Have you done anything on yours lately?

 

wish I could figure out how to mount a decent sized one to go with my 12at...looks sweet

 

at first i though the one I got was too big (600mm X 300mm X 76mm) with 3 inch in and out, but it fit well.

 

I'm closing and installing the engine next week and the the car will be sleeping for another 3 months until I get back From NY.

As soon as I get back, I'm taking the car to "Rolo" in Orlando to tune the Microtech.


I saw you wanted to buy a standalone.

Great deal:

now that's the swap i would love to do. if only...

 

Kevin, do you have any better pics of the brackets that mount the intercooler? I think I have that same cooler.

 

Don't you worry the "stock" rad will not be enough for the engine?

 

I have already ran it for almost a year and no problems yet.

 

Yea, It is preety easy but i will get some pics up of it.....don't have time today, I just got a 1984 SE.

 

that front mount is going to drastically reduce the efficiency of your radiator......not trying to hate. i would just be a little tentative with it until you prove me wrong. which i fully want a expect you to do.

 

that what high flow electric fans are for. also proper duct work will help

 

Yeah, Keith told me, sounds like you got a steel on that car!

 

yea, The guy selling it was actually trying to get me to fix it for him...lol... I then told him that I didn't have any time and that I have to many other projects. Before that I already did a compresion check and figured it was some thing with the fuel injection. Thats when i gave him $700 dollars, and about 2 hours of working on it...viola its running. The interior is assome and it only has 105,050 miles on it! I could probably sell it for well over 1,800 as it is, but it drives like a new car so I think I am going to keep it.

By the way I thought I had some more detaled pics of the intercooler set up, but they where not in my camera. Basically what I did was take a 3 foot peice of L bar and cut it down and notched it so it would fit in front of the radiator. Then I took some flat aluminum bar and made two suport straps for the top that whent from the intercooler too the holes that i made in the sheat metal. I will try to take some pics in the morning.

 

sweet, sounds good. If the body on that se is nice, you might be able to fetch 3,000 for it on ebay. I have seen a couple gsl-se's sell lately with that kinda milage on ebay. One sold for 3,800 and one for 3500. I can't believe the prices se's have been going for lately on ebay! Seems you will make more selling it on there.

 

yea, ebay would probably be the way to go if I am going to sell it.

Here are the more detailed pics... you can see where I notched the L bar and where I mounted the top suport straps.

 

Yeah looks good, thanks!

 

Here are some pics of the new SE... All stock and drives great. and a shot of my REPU... has a 12a with a dellorto, but hopefully soon it will have a 13b turbo set up on it.

 

can't beat that for 700.00!

 

Everything is lookin good, BTW 700 is a deal!
