Routing the IC piping
HAs anyone seen the IC piping run over the radiator support? Im going to have my FMIC put in in a few days, and its going to need the IC piping custom made. I was looking for the shortest path (non-greddy) and was interested in going over the radiator support like some 3rd gen guys do. I cant remember if I have seen it done on a second gen though, and was wondering if it was an option for me.

well it'll just hit the hood... I have seen a cool setup where they cut out each side of the rad support (at the top) and ran it "over" the surport where it was cutout.
and they they welded in a strenghing brace below the piping to join the support back up.

Haven't we ALL heard this
Why not set back the radiatior and put the intercooler in that new space?
I havent done this yet but as soon as I get my TII back that is the next project. It just seems so much more logical than running pipinng thru the rad support.

that looks rather interesting... looks like you'll have to remount a couple of items that are there but not much... the coolant over flow can will have to go some place else for sure though.

Cool. Thats what I was referring to, going over the support. How much of it is hitting the hood? Is it small enough I could notch the hood? This setup interets me, ill mention the setup your talking about when I take the car up there next week. Im just trying to find an alternative to the Greddy route, cause I have a full size battery in the sotck location, and it looks pretty tight in there, plus id like the shortest route possible.
