I did my intercooler kit with a universal piping kit and had no issues. The Silvia front end leaves you a tone of room. I have a 12x24x4 inch core intercooler and with room to spare. So no worries on making it fit

i too have the silvia front end and it is MUCH easier to fabricate piping for a FMIC with the silvia front. 12x24x3inch core and generic piping kit for me also
