Intercooler question?
What do you guys think of a Horizontial Mount Intercooler with signle turbos? I've seen a few pictures and think they look good. Anybody have any thoughts or opinions about them and how they work or know anyone who has had one? I hear that in Japan there common. Thanks guys.

I was actually planning to do that. Just make sure you use the right ducting.
I was planning on that instead of a FMIC because I always crach into trees and innocent pedestrians.
Peace

I think the major concern would be getting proper airflow.
Here are some of my thoughts:
Benefits:
- doesn't block radiator --> keeps engine cooler
- less intercooler piping --> less turbo lag; easier to pipe
Disadvantages:
- harder to get good airflow to
- can't fit a HUGE ic for super high boost levels
What about a horizontal mount IC but below instead of above the rad? That's how one of the top drag racers (a honda?) does it.

As I understand it air flow is not as big of a problem as most people think. But I'm no expert. Just by what I've read. I e-mailed SR and hopefully I get a response some time soon. When I do I'll let you guys know about it.
