Front Mount Intercooler

Even though it is a crazy good price it is definitely overkill for a stock car. I know it appears that bigger is always better but in this case it may actually limit the performance of your car.

Hahaha^^^^^ stock car....did you mention to him to look at all the stuff you have done?...lmao
It is definately overkill, and sorry to say but the way it is mounted in your buddies car is ghetto as shit!
Go on cheap-bay and take a look. I am happy with the kit I got on there and it cost me like $220 shipped Intercooler, and generic piping. It is 2.5" but for only up to 500rwhp I feel it is plenty!
HTH,

I got the spearco Imitation from driftmotion and then made some hardpipes and added an HKS SSQV to mine, I only run 10psi, have 3inch turbo back, intake, and a few other small mods and it really seemed to help out, lessened the lag of the turbo, seems to pull harder especially from 3200 on you can really tell a difference. Not that it matters but it does make the spool louder which I love, part of my love of turbo engines is the sounds they make, they just do it for me haha.
I'd say your buddies is a lil too big and the fab work is a pain to do too.
Good Luck

I have 31x24x3 with 3'' in and out. almost done installing... no problems there... but i'm not staying stock for long :evil2:
I'm doing a turbo swap into my N/A car, what is the biggest size that will fit in the stock location, without modification to the car?
I'm going to move the overflow tank. I also read on here original turbo cars have more space for an IC due to a different header panel. I starting searching this and there was vague info on it. I thought all of the header panels were the same size.
I was thinking of going as big as 30x12x3.
I'm going to try and get under there during the week and take some measurement, but I want to hear some opinions on different setups. The engine that will be going in will be a 1JZ if it matters.

I run the 32x12x3 intercooler. Before that I ran the porsche 944 intercooler. That SOB is thick. I had to cut my front support because of the way I wanted it mounted. And more airflow. But I reinforced it. Mounting it you really just sit it in there. Cut and make brackets to fit.
Thanks, I won't have problems mounting any IC, the thing is I don't know what the largest size IC people put without modification.
Reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at IC options now, and when I buy I want to get one that will fit this way.

With the 32x12x3 you have about 2 1/2'' on both sides in between the frame rails when its mounted.
Is that with the pipes mounted or do you have 2.5" left to put the pipes in there? do you have any pics of your setup?

I have pics but every time I try to upload them it fails to upload. Okay your pipes are on the bottom end of the tanks. And you have about 2.5'' on both sides between the frame rails. My intercooler tops out at the top of the bumper support. There is more than enough room for your pipes.
