front mount stock IC?
What kind of work would it take to front mount the stock intercooler on a TII motor that I'm putting in my GXL? I'm trying to do this without much money so what do I have to do?

my friend is in the process of doing it. he is using 2 ic's though. he is splitting the pipe and running them in parallel. then joining the pipe back together after the ic's.

Aaron, how much do you think it would cost for piping? and do you know anywhere I can find a right up?
xfeast, definitely going for a sleeper. Just love to surprise people.

if he runs two and y's it he might have a pressure drop problem
There are advantages and disadvantages of both.
top- less pressure drop/better weight dist
front - cleans engine/no heat soak
there are others but i would research a bit to see if it's for you

I was going to do this a while back, but I found that the way the tubes come out of the endtanks on the stock IC makes it rather difficult to fit piping, and have it in an ideal place to get air. so I went with a stock MX-6 intercooler instead, which is actually a little bigger(about 1/4 inch thicker, and 1/2 in taller and wider), and the tubes on the end tanks were mounted so that it would be much easier to build tubing for it, and still mount it nicely.
but unfortunately, I got lazy, and my motor ended up losing compression before I did the install. and now I've got a nice big TrusT FMIC waiting patiently to be installed.
