I picked up a 32x12x3 intercooler off ebay last week and riped off my npr to see just how well it would fit, figured some fc guys would like to see how well something of that size would work

no i dont have a real 'bumper' at the momnent, once the intercoler is mounted and plumbed im going to make someting as strong or stronger than the stock piece

the plumbing will be though the holes behind the headlights, shouldnt take more than a few hours to complete

Need to pulll that overflow and get one to mount elsewhere. its current location isnt helping airflow.

 

holy moly thats large, and the man holding it up is a handsome devil

 

And what a spectacular shirt he is wearing.

 

That bitch is heavy isn't it.

 

actually, it isnt all that heavy... i have the same intercooler... i was suprised at the weight

 

bumpers are for ****

let 'em hang

 

Nice Shirt...Nice IC....looks like mine =D

 

yeah, I'm removing mine just for better radiator airflow.

 

Yeah, but assuming that he is using the stock bumper and its opening...the opening is much below the bottle...its not really in the way.

Its good space for the plumbing and the cooler in front of the radiator, all you need is to remove some of the plastic and bend the servo cooler a little back.

 

What happened to your shoes?

All bull **** aside does your car run? How do you like the RE motor?

 

Well i finnaly got around to plumbing the intercooler. work, and the 10000 other projects kind of got me sidetracked but here goes

somewhere i found time to polish my compressor housing














Some of the pipes are already painted because there from the previous setup, so i didnt cut up the j-bends didnt need. took 45min to make it all work. tommorow ill pull it off, file off the burrs, weld on lip so the couplers done slide apart and put on the t-bolt connectors

im happy with it, and i hope the photo's help with other peoples fmic setups if they cant figure it out on there own

well it fits, but since it looks like a drag only unit if you use it for street driving how will you be compenstating for pressure drop & boost lag? Also keep an eye on coolant & oil temps.

 

awesome, im moving back to NH soon, hope to see you at epping!

 

a massive turbo with appropriate port job over the winter?

i have a koyo already, and am going to duct it all with some break metal so it works as efficient as possible

when you moving up? ill deffinetly be there.. i have no choice in the matter, its my job

 

cool, I'm not the only retard that works on his car with out shoes. lol

 

How's having a forest for a garage?

 

holy huge turbo and intercooler batman.......very nice setup!!

 

I got that same ic. Man I love the fitment of it! I was afraid I was going to have to fab up brackets but it just fit perfect for the fc. Make sure you bead roll those ends man!

 

haha your not. once im home im usualy without shoes, today was diff, i never got out of work clothes

it has it perks...

my backyard when i have some people over



thank ya, its sure is fun spending 125% the money i make..... wait no it isnt

I also am happy with the fitment. i was amazed when i saw it BOLTED UP to exsiting holes. just make some brackets outof some flatstock for the bottem and she will be good

I weld bead's around the edge of all the pipes, i tried getting along without it with my first ic setup.. didnt work

-Jacob

 

by the end of this month I will be back. Moving into my old hometown, lebanon/canaan area. can't wait. the heat is killing me.

 

i was planing to fit the same ic (32x12x3).but i was wonder about turbo lag because i use the stock turbo.how is running?

 

what did you pay for the intercooler from ebay?

 

250$ shipped here.i thing the cost is 150$
