That looked super cheap.

This is what i used for my ic piping, and made my own ic mounts.

Actually, i think its really nice for the price. Great fitment, and goes through the bumper not by the headlight. If you would like any pics of mine installed ill be happy to show you some.

Also, you can get that intercooler for its self for roughly 100$ on ebay. Your paying 80$ for 2 pieces of piping and some bracketry.

Adapting that intercooler piping from the stock IC to the spearco replica, it required 3 2.5" inch 90degree elbows, and 1 2.5" straight coupler, and about 1 foot of additional 2.5" piping. Like i said before, if you would like pics just let me know.

yeah throw some pics up just for me to see and for future reference for people.

Heres one of the pics that shows most of it.

Shows the aftermarket intercooler, the piping (The kit comes with blue couplers, the black ones are ones i ordered)
What i had to do to put the intercooler on w/ the piping i used was from the turbo to ic pipe, had to get a 2.5" straight coupler, cut about a 6" piece of alumized steel "Cause it was cheap" and a 2.5" 90degree coupler to the intercooler. Clamped the 6" steel pipe to where the aluminum one ended to make it long enough for the 90degree to go to the bottom of the IC.

Then for the upper to make it fit, i just got two 90degree couplers, shaved them down a littler, and put about a 3" section of 2.5" piping inbetween them to clamp them down.

Let me throw up a few more pics.

I can take more when i get the car finished up or get out to the shop this weekend.

Ill try and get one of the lower ic piping soon.

If you need any more info lmk.

Thanks jag.

Ill try and get better pictures for you guys this weekend. If i find anymore ill upload them, let me go see if i have anymore. I know i have some of the IC on stock piping... Ill post a few.

This might matter to some people, but this is the ic next to the stock oil cooler.

Heres my "Ic bracketing" and my transcooler. I got that bracket from home depo, but cut it down. It worked and it very sturdy. Might make a lower sometime.

Heres a pic with the stock intercooler, and my trans cooler before i relocated it above.

Another shot of the piping from the tb onwards

Yes i know my PVC hose was unplugged, thats actually why i took that pic

And heres a pic i took while i was mocking everything up

Thats all i have in my photobucket for now, ill take some more this weekend for you if you still have questions. Ill try and get a pic of the lower ic piping while its till on the lift.

Thats a knock off of the spearco ss ic. I had the real one and that mounting kit looks exactly like the on I had. it was easy to mount and worked great.

 

[91supran/a]

[Fubar231]

Damn i was out at the shop today but forgot to get some pics of the lower. Ill try and get that for you tomorrow since ill be out there tomorrow.

For a stock-turbo running 12lbs boost would this intercooler create too much lag? I have though about purchasing one but thought it is too big for stock setup.

Perfect the video that he had in there pretty much answered my question... and he has pretty much the same setup that I will be having as well.
