ok so im going to be doing the sr swap to my 91 fb here in a couple weeks and im trying to get all my ducks in a row so as to make the swap go as smooth as possible, ive pretty much got everything figured out from reading other posts but im still stuck on what to do about the intercooler and bov, but i kind of have an idea... just wondering what yall thing about this intercooler

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

yeah i know its an ebay ic but i don't exactly have to money to buy the best atm, just wanna know if anyone has any experience with it or if it looks like it will do for the moment. also i noticed it doesen't have a bov in the picture, so im wondering if i could just get a dsm bov and just get sumone to weld a flange on to it. (also wondering where i could get a dsm bov with a universal flange)

also if this has already ben covered in another post i greatly apologize but didn't find anything related...

I say yes and yes... but why a dsm bov? doesn't your sr clip already come with a stock recirculation valve?

well i didnt know i would be able to reuse the bov from a clip... but im probably not getting a clip, just the engine/trans and such since the place im going through doesen't have clips as far as i know...

If I were you I'd suggest the clip but if they can't MAKE SURE the harness is all entact, no cut harness and that the plugs arn't cracked or broken. Verify everything before you buy it. I wish I had bought the clip but just to give you the heads up I'm letting you know this now. Make sure the CAS isn't cracked where it gets plugged in. and also make sure you get the ignitor with it. I'm probably missing something else but as of now thats it. O yea and the oil pan, check that there arn't dents in it. Than after that do the usual test before getting it.

i just got that kit is nice but the core top mount does fit prefect and the bottom mounts are too short but it will hold fine besides that its great and worth the money
