[Beemen550]

i have the same one, is it ssautochromes, and is it the 3 or 4 inch wide one, how much did u pay

if its the 4 incher u have to do quite a bit of cuttin to fit behind the bumper support

[The 240 kid]

[4felix20]

[Beemen550]

heres the 4 inch one, but if u r mounting it on an s13 u probably want to have someone tig weld a mount like this one on it

[JayPat83]

damn, i have the same one!!! must be a popular IC. the brand of mine is Hybrid.

[574-240sx]

Looks good.

This is how I ran mine and just cut the bumper support.



Catches air just fine and fits perfectly behind the air dam.

[PantherRacer]

i hope your running a bigger turbo, other wise your just over working your t25 to pressurize that thing

Stock turbo.. who cares if it gets blown up ? a bb t28 with t25 flange is about US$350-400 to buy...

Plus, my turbo has a stock 10 pound actuator, which atm is running 11 pound with the hks dump pipe and a full 3 inch stright through exhaust..

I'm just gunna cut the **** outta my stock bar, who cares, it's just a nissan.. stock bumpers are a dime a dozen..

i figure, the 3 inch inlet/outlet on it, and my thorttle body bering 3 inchj, i'll just go 3 inch piping to save hassles and ****.. who gives a flying **** about lag..

[IveBeenBad]

who gives a flying **** about lag..

people that want to go fast immidiately.

Very cool

But in all seriousness, by reading your reply and such...is it more of a bling item for you (so you can say "look I have a huge FMIC") or is it a stepping stone for bigger things later so you don't have to upgrade again? Because it is definately overkill for your setup.

[own3d]

So your running 11 psi at the turbo? That means your probably getting about7-8psi to the TB. If you got 11psi at the TB then your probably running around 14-15psi at the turbo which is out of the efficency range. Not flaming just trying to give ya a heads up.

Any intercooler that big is gunna have a lot of pressure loss and you really won't gain anything over a smaller one, just more weight and pressure loss

[chmercer]

i got that one too, gonna run a t3 with it. yea its probably too big. but its like 30 bucks more than a side mount so.... obx intercooler for life

Alright, for those who don;t know, heres my theory on the way i'm doing up my car..

First i wanted the car to handle.. so in went a set of JIC Coilovers, Front and Rear Strut braces, and some wider tread..

Next, was my brakes... standard Ca18 brakes are complete ****.. so in went the SR20 brakes, cause why go fast when you got no where to stop ??

Next was getting the exhaust to flow freely.. thats where a Hks dump pipe with the divorced chamber, and full 3 inch came in..

A bit problem with CA's is not enough fuel.. i put mine on the dyno with a non-turbo fuel pump, and it churned 147rwhp on 11 pound while leaning the **** out.. so i have changed my fuel pump to a Walbro 255l/hour jobbie, and i have R32 GTR injectors on order ATM..

( can anyone guess here, that i am doing this in stages ???)

Next is the 'cooler, the intake and exhaust pipes.. they are extremely restrictive, so if i change them, they'll be able to flow more air too, right ??

then after that, i'll be doing a stainless steel exhaust manifold, and a larger turbo ( either the t28, or i'll just step up and go T3)..

Now your going to ask, why have i done it this way ????

Because first you need a car to handle well.. then you need it to stop.. Turbos flow more freely with a non-restrictive exhaust.. car needs fuel before i can pump more boost.. a larger 'cooler will get me lower intake temps, and let it flow more freely too.. and then the turbo..

if i did it like a lot of you guys, and put the big turbo on first, then i woulda found all these other little problems next.. and that wouldn't be fun., ruinning 14 pound on the dyno, first go, leaning out and blowing stuff up, then would it ?

there is a lot of method in my madness.. i guess i just haven't explained it yet..

Pete.

There have been good arguments from both sides of the fench that dedate wheater there is a presure loss and how great it is. I don't think it will be that big of deal but don't feel like busting out my math skills to prove it or anything

1 + 1 = a window..

There'll be pressure drop alright.. but until a new compressor and other toys come into play.. not everyone has the money to throw every part they need on at once, do they ?

[w1ngzer0]

nope, but i would wait till you get a bigger turbo before droping the big intercooler. Nothing wrong with buying parts at a time. Just like my parts i have.

Wheels,cf hood, new suspention. I am not droping it in untill my ****ty lookin' car gets painted.

It would look silly to have all that fancy stuff on a crappy lookin' car now wouldn't it?

Well thats the other thing.. i'm not a fan of bodykits or rims.. i'm trying to keep the car as stock looking as possible.. i'm thinking of painting the 'cooler black...
