Well, i found a guy thats willing to sell his TII turbo and TMIC all for 125 bucks...Not too bad of a deal i though...but. what all do you guys think i will nedd to accomplish this goal ? i know for sure that im going to need a custom manifold, and a few other custom things...but any other suggestions ?

 

is he giving you the manifold/trubo combination? If so the bolt holes on the manifold can be slotted and the exhaust runners ground out to match the 12a, so you will be alright there. The TII intercooler is garbage in my opinion, get it and sell it on ebay. search around and you will find any of the info you need, unless you have some more specific questions, then go ahead and ask them here.

why is the TMIC "garbage ?" i think it would work ok....what do you guy think should be the best ? oh and im getting

1. TII Turbo
2. Top Mounted Intercooler
3. Wastegate.
3. Tubes and piping
4. (talking to him about the manifold)
5. 2nd gen Alternator (just a throw in)
6. Oil Cooler
7. 2nd Gen Fuse box to replace the fuseable links.
8. Speedo Cable (another throw in)
9. line and other pipe.
10. HKS Blow off valve.

all for 125 bucks....talk about a good deal

 

Personally I have always hated the idea of a top mount intercooler. For this simple fact HEAT RISES. So it should be called in interheater. Might work ok if your moving but stuck in traffic, not so much. what do you usually do when the traffic breaks.

 

well the t2 intercooler's not that bad.. you can just mount it upfront or at the side and make custom charge pipes.. duhh! c'mon let's be innovative here!

 

i am in the middle of mounting a t2 intercooler to my car, I will post pics when all finished. I mounted it up front on the drivers side, in front of the big tubular brace that goes across the front. Also, I am mounting a t2 radiator in the stock location (not tilting it foward), which is a bitch, but i am getting it done. Its mostly the radiator piping that sucks

 

Top mounts are not the best idea, but the keep the frontal impact damage costs down.

well, hey, im going to mount the intercooler infront of my radiator ?

would that be a good idea ? or would that block my radiator..

i was also told that i <b>will</b> need a 3 core radiator from a guy here in town that used to race rx7's.

what do you guys think ?
