I have a question regarding an inter-cooler that I apparently had laying around for the longest time. Its a ARC Side Mount Inter-cooler, but its for an S14. I have a S13 Hatch with a CA18det in it and was wondering how and if I could get it to fit? It seems like all I would need would be S14 specific inter-cooler pipes am I correct? If so, does anyone know where to get hard SMIC pipes? Sorry if the question is rather dumb, but thought I would ask. :gotme

Thanks

Here are some pictures. I am going to assume that it will not fit at all since one of the pipes would obviously cause an issue by hitting the frame rail. I guess I just answered my own question. Well, anyone need an ARC SMIC?? Sucks that I won't be able to use it. I guess I'll have to stick with the crappy CA SMIC for now. :bs:

Why can't you use it? hacksaw off the end of the offending pipe, and use a hose clamp to attach a silicone coupler. You could have it mounted up within the hour!

To the stock CA intercooler piping though? I'm retarded.
