i was wondering if anyone has installed a lancer evolution FMIC on an FD as a V mount intercooler. i will re-postion the flanges if i need to. if anyone has any tips that would be nice, thanks.

 

why not get and ebay for for less then 200?

 

just a word of caution. EVO 8/9 I/C's are efficient up to 400-420hp (on the ragged edge of tuning) if you have any qualms about making more than that in the future

 

400+ HP is good for now, this I/C was given to my because i wouldnt fit on my brothers DSM. as far as i can tell i can make it fit i can make a few brackets and get a piping kit. i was wondering if anyone has ever done this before

 

Spend a little more, and try to make an OEM R34 GT-R Intercooler work as a V-Mount. Those intercoolers can support 500-600 horsepower, and are often left stock on most R34 GT-R Racecars due to their high efficiency. They are found used for around 300 - 400 + Shipping ***************************** If you don't mind if by chance your fins went flying off then go buy the ebay crap.

 

if this doesnt work i will probably just get a bigger stock mount I/C. im gunna wait until about next summer to do a single turbo and then im gunna see what my options are in I/C's

 

it seems you could easily have the end tanks modified to line up with the y-pipe and the intake

 

i dont know about easily, but it could be done.

 

You're going to spend a ton of money modifying that, getting custom piping, getting a custom radiator, making custom brackets for the whole thing, custom radiator hoses, ducting, ast mount, etc... You can't just throw in an IC as a Vmount cause you got it for free, designing an entire Vmount system is HARD and EXPENSIVE. Plenty of people have done in it, including me, but it is not easy and will take a lot more time than you initially think.

I'd say, leave the car the way it is until you go single turbo.
