my friend and i installed my NPR FMIC courtesy of Greg just gotta fab up piping after i drop in the engine. also need to make brackets for my radiator. anyway here are pix

 

 

very dark.....cant see anything.

 

Not too long till thats ripped off by some road obstruction.

 

Good Gawd!!
you guys see my half *** (literally) polishing job

 

thats disgustingly large, you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

Actually I can't see a thing! Doesn't your camera have a flash?

 

Well said.

 

umm i can see the pix fine. you need to turn up your brightness. the pix were take at dark. sorry about that. you know me. i like things large and in charge

 

dang I hope your going to push 15 PSI
cause that Cooler all the way up there
is going to LAG! if you don't push alot of CFM

I'm putting the same IC where the water overflow
goes
and the Inlets facing up wraping around the Rad/batt
Batt will go in the Back

Yes cutting reguired

 

i test fitted the IC there but you have to bend and relocate some stuff. i saw how turborotor's greddy 24R intercooler was installed and its in the same spot as mine. we'll see how it works out. i plan on pushing the stock ht-18s to its max. plans are already in the works for a much larger turbo. i still have some tricks up my sleeve

 

LoL

Here one of My Mechs work
with a LARGE NPR

You can see the IC routing which I love

 

wow that pipe routing is NICE. mine will be a little more convaluted. mine will be about the same. just has to go down about 8inches more. shouldn't be that big of a deal. my car looks like a corolla from englishtown now

 

DAMN THAT IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!
Good job on the corona!!

 

Damn vosko! why didn't you go with the smaller one?! =)

 

i got that one CHEAP

 

I bet you did!=) Hopefully you've got a BIG enough turbo you won't be experiencing a huge pressure drop.
How's the new engine?

 

bigger is better... hehe.... very nice!

 

I see a box for a Griffin radiator....is that the $180 one from Summit? (for Ford)

IC looks good. Hopefully not too much lag.

 

i'm running stock turbo for now. i want to see how well it will do @ high boost. after i break i'm gonna make a custom T04 turbo kit for my car the jspec i got looks to be perfect. its sitting in ATF right now. it has good compression. we'll see how long its gonna last. if this breaks i'll rebuild the other engine and port it etc

 

yeah that's the chevy radiator from summit. fits almost perfect just have to figure out how to weld brackets to aluminum for it. shouldn't be too hard. i don't think the pressure drop will be that bad on the intercooler. we'll see when i get the whole car running in 2 weeks i hope

 

nice install. as you already know the pressure drop is massive on the stock turbo. just run a 60 and you'll be fine. everybody thinks there is huge lag on that ic but once you go to a bigger turbo you have no problem.

 

i just want to get my car up and running then start gathering the parts i need. exhaust manifold, turbo, wastegate,bov,boost controller
