    Mounting Aftermarket Intercooler and Oil Cooler

    Thanks! I have a larger oil cooler I’ll be installing eventually but I think I’m going to find a way to mount the OEM one similar to yours for now.

    Yes it is. I’m planning on adding a trans cooler eventually but trying to get the oil cooler setup figured out first.

    Mounting Aftermarket Intercooler and Oil Cooler

    For those of you who've installed an upgraded intercooler and oil cooler, can you share some pictures of how you have them mounted? I haven't been able to come up with any good search results for it, most are 10+ years old. I have the DriftMotion intercooler kit and I'm replacing my OEM oil...

    Well, I drove it home from the shop today. First time this car has been on the road in almost 20 years! It’s not 100% yet but it’s getting close. It was pretty cool hearing the turbo spool after owning this thing for several years and feeling like I was wasting lots of time and money on it...

    Suspension is 100% installed and aligned now! Illumina II shocks, H&R springs, KYB mounts, Whiteline sway bars, Energy Suspension bushings all over. Drove it around the parking lot a little... lots of squeaks and rattles to chase down eventually. Next up is a Mishimoto catch can and replacing...

    New turbo is on, that solved the majority of the smoking. There's still a little smoke at startup and very little at idle. Suspension has been the latest priority. I finally had my Illuminas installed along with a set of H&R springs. Energy bushings have been installed in the front along with...

    Anyone know how to get ahold of Tokico Illumina II TEMS shocks?

    Yeah, we just found out about it when our supplier cancelled our open orders and told us they've been discontinued... the only other options out there I know of are KYB, Koni and Tokico HP's. Nothing is available that's compatible with TEMS. At least not as far as I know... Sent from my iPhone...

    Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. I think the head was supposed to have been rebuilt before I got it. Will blown turbo seals cause a huge amount of smoke at startup though? I was thinking the smoking at idle would lean more towards the turbo seals but startup smoke was more likely to be valve...

    Thanks! Misfire is gone and it purrs like a kitten now. Also smokes like a freight train though :( I'm hoping it's just a blown turbo and/or valve stem seals. I have the original turbo on it now but have a replacement/upgrade ready to go on. There's also a possibility the valve stem seals are...
