small water-to-air setup would be the most effective imo if you dont wanna use a front mount. I dont like top mounts and it would be more trouble than its worth in just mounting it properly in our applications.

Something like this

Ever thought of running a water and meth injection setup? get a larger trunk mount tank and check it every time you fill up.

i know what he's talking about when running the intercooler slanted. a few Skylines and 350z's that ive seen have their set up like that. mainly because you have a company that has the time and money to set it up that way. here you go:






that and the 240sx, 350z and the Skyline all have space in the fron to do that. that way it wont interfere with the turbo piping, nor heat up the charge piping, thus nullifying the point to the intercooler. all the turbos on those motors are mounted on the side of the motor. unless you find some way to mount your F22b to where the exhaust is pointing towards the fender, you wont be able to hide the I/C in a slant like they do.

I will be doing a rear mounted turbo. Just like the STS kits. www.ststurbo.com No intercooler needed! the length of the piping does it.

But if you don't think that will work. You can use a small side mounted intercooler like a DSM. All you need to do is remove your windshield washer reservoir is. It will be very small.

i doubt a honda would have the space in the engine bay to do a V mount setup. and because the manifold would be right under it, there would be bad heat soak imho.

that's why i dont think i've ever come across a v mount setup in a honda IRL or on the net.

just looked at the pics under shaq's charger. looks pretty interesting(also interesting Shaq's charger has the wimpy little 2.7l, that kind of money get the srt8, or at least the 5.7), but better be damn careful of sewer grates, rocks, etc, because your not going to only smash your cat anymore.

also, not sure exactly what difference it makes if any, but or 6500 bucks installed, dont you think you'd get mandrel bends? I mean my 20 dollar intake off ebay is mandrel bent. its probably alot harder to get multiple bends on one long peice, but its an expensive kit...

I still think at the end of the day, you are making this harder than it needs to be

if you really want to avoid cutting the front bumper and keeping your fogs, I like the battery location idea.

noss88

just out of curiousity, is there enough space on the side of the front bumper for a SMIC? I know supras and eclipses have a SMIC, just a thought.

accord_raffi

When i was mounting my fmic, i don't recall much space for a side mount in the actual bumper. I doubt he'd want to drill into the side of that to mount it anyway.

maddmatt02

why, because I said watch out for hitting your 6k turbo kit on a rock? or because I find it insteresting some huge guy with the money shaqs got bought a charger, with the LITTLE v6?

or I guess it could be the fact that Id just expect a turbo kit costing almost 7k to be installed would be mandrel bent. almost every other kit in existance is, right?

GReddy, Turbonetics, RevHard, Drag, Edelbrock, ....

they all have mandrel bent piping.

The.Society

exactly. doing stuff like that takes money. if the OP wants to be different, have at it. but he'll spend more money on just trying to get his I/C to be slanted for no reason being different in the is industry some times cost a lot.

tamadrummer1120

Wow thanks for all the ideas guys. Once again just a thought, and did not know if it have ever been done. I do like the idea of putting it where the battery is, on the side of the engine bay, and the air filter for CAI is right there so make a scoop that sits right where that usually does to direct air flow. I think that would not be a bad idea, and nor would a black IC. Just want to try something a little different thats all.

HeikDiesel

Usually most things with these cars have been tried. Unless you really want to do something radical someone has probably done it

tamadrummer1120

Yeah, the exact reason why I asked, because I figured someone had tried it or done it.

famou55TAR

lmao. its hardly noticable.

sfcd5

why not just paint it with high temp black paint, so ill look somewhat like a radiator

accord_raffi

already been mentioned

tamadrummer1120

haha. Yeah it was mentioned at least 5 times. I think I am going to do a side mount intercooler. I mean for right now I am only going to run stock boost.
