still need to finish a few things, like painting the pipes red, need to get the ends beeded still, gota remove the stock IC bracket.

havn't gone for a good run yet... so can't comment yet.

starion core off ebay. $52usd
got 2.5" pipes out the side, blocked the stock holes, and had the brakets welded on for $40usd.
two 2.5" dyno max U bends and a 2" one $45usd.
welding pieces together after I cut and matched them $10-15usd
silicon (1' of 2.5" and a 2" to 2.5" reducer) and clamps $60usd

total, $212 usd

the AWS is being removed. the air supply valve line was rerouted back into the new piping. (went into the stock IC)

 

 

looks great man! nice and clean


can't wait to hear how it runs

 

**** I'll gve you 300 bucks plus shipping....if you could make me one, did you have to modify the p/s bracket? I'm going to take mine off I think if I go front mount, I figure once I have done everything I can to get the most safe boost, then I will install water injection to get every last hp out of my car...

 

very nice... are you still having high temperature problems witht he FMIC?

 

no and no

I doubt it. didn't go very far yesterday. I'll find out soon.

 

that is awesome! I'd like to do a FMIC pretty soon, I just need some time off from school...

 

nice job, looks really clean, i wanna go Front Mount so bad

 

heh, some results I think it droped my boost 1-2 psi. I was kinda expecting that. longer pipes, more bends, and cheap core however I think it's faster, even though it's less boost. so now I just gota raise it back up 1-2 and it should be even faster.

and it's pretty cold out today. so it'll make a bigger diff in the summer

temps barly changed... maby like 1-2F over not having the IC there. and I've got lots of air moving mods comming soon which should drop it lower then what it was before.

 

well, it should be quicker or as quick as before w lower boost. you should be able to make as much power as a stock IC w less boost w/ a larger IC, especially a FMIC. The starion unit is cheap but it's a good bargain upgrade as it's fairly large. We used to have one on a 240Z we converted to a turbo w a nissan 280zx manifold and a T3/T4. 18 psi = 12.0 w that IC

 

very nice!I've got the same intercooler and have just been waiting until I could come up with a good way of mounting it and also with the piping.thanks for the pics

 

Not being an ***, but thats got to add ALOT of lag and pressure drop.

 

I couldn't really tell any lag diff... maybe a tad. and ya as I said it droped a psi or 2 I think... which is ok cause it was creeping too much anyways hehe

the increased lag will be gone when I get my BDC throttle body

 

did you do any before and after intake air temp. measurements?

 

I wish. don't have a gauge... or a haltech

 

damn i need i fmic that will be my next mod, but ive got to wait i got new clutch and gbox going in soon and need new suspension. anyone ever front mounted two s4 intercoolers and welded them together thats what im going to do it works pretty good!

 

scott do you have any pics of just the pipe, you could sell the blue prints online.....just saying I'm a lazy *** college student who work part time and goes to school full time.....
