Hey Mgt, Was The Install Easy Or Did You Have To Do Something Extra

got question, with a front mount intercooler do you need to change the set up from the A/C and radiator ? or how does it goes ??

the 3row came on my car but it looks like it would be difficult on a car that has the stock twins. mine is pretty bare in the engine bay (no battery, no a/c, no p/s, single turbo) so its not too hard to take it on and off but my front bumper is hacked to **** to make it fit and it goes all the way to the top of the bumper.

It depends on which kit you get. Generally speaking when you go FMIC you need to relocate the radiator and AC from its slanted stock position to a vertical position (The only one I know you don't have to is the old rotaryextreme/XS Engineering Apex'i FMIC).

The degree of difficulty for installation also varies depending on the kit you get. I know the greddy kits require you to remove and trim the stock front bumper whereas the apex'i and blitz kits can be installed without the front bumper being removed.

i think apexi is the bext intercooler for the fd. it doesnt block all of the airflow coming in the front.

i have the "drift" ebay core. it really doesnt look bad. it is huge though.

I have greddy 2 row... it looks nice and it's functional.

so am i right by asking if BIGGER IS BETTER. i would llove to get a ARC, or FEED front mount but those things cost the same as 3 house payments lolol. so just trying to get as much info as i can on this. thanks for all your help guys.

Im asking the same question, on the fd's, for stock twins, if a larger intercooler is better for the stock twins, or will you actually loose power from it being TOO BIG.

ya im asking for the single, i dont mind doing the job, but just like football you always want to know your plays lol before the big show. i was going to go with the v-mount setup but i have heard from many that its a pain as far as fabin parts to make things fit. so the ? again is does bigger mean better when your pushing the single T-78.

T-78 you will want a large core and they say the larger you go the more pressure drop you will get but for the most part you won't tell a difference with proper tuning so basically "bigger is better"

ok that will work for me, now which to choose lol, i like the greddy 3 row but the apexi looks alot beeffed up, i have heard that the blitz i think LM is good. is there 1 thats beter. or thee all just the same.

Rx_Sam

well i have this bumper in front but i think i'll have to cut to fit an intercooler

But is there a big difference between the intercoolers? i saw on ebay intercoolers from trust and others but where's the difference between the expensive brands and the cheaper one's on ebay ??
