Title says it all. I've heard the starion fits perfectly, with no modifications to anything. I've only seen this on the s13. I've got an s14 though (zenki) and would rather not cut my bumper or bumper support if I don't have to. I'm talking about a front mount, too.

the actual intercooler core doesnt really have fitment issues....i would say you should worry more about the charge pipes instead..they will be the pain

What do you mean? how could those get in the way? All you have to do is have them meet up with the FMIC at it's inlet/exit and route them through whichever way possible.

well theres not much you have to do for the intercooler core...unless your talking about WITHOUT taking off the bumper? its basically put in front and drill holes and bolt..put bumper back on

I don't so much mind taking the bumper off and putting it back on, I just don't want to have to cut my bumper or bumper support.

I think most modification that you have to do is cut holes for IC piping. What I suggest you do is go out in your garage, measure how much space you have, and then compare it to this list:

The only thing you have to do with the starion IC is modify the inlets/outlets to come out from the side instead of from the top.

and you won't have to with either. The fog lights might be an issue

No foglights for me = no problem. I'll most likely go with the SSAC/XS power whatever the hell one it is that you're talking about.
