Default Intercooler options with SOHC Greddy Turbo Kit

What would it take to use a non-greddy IC with the full D16Z6 Greddy Turbo Kit?

i wish i had the money for a front mount when i got my greddy kit. but heres my low buck solution:



the cars pretty dirty after this dirt and snow, but there's how it looks lookin from behind the passenger wheel with the fender liner removed.

the lil right side vent in the front of the bumper. plus i prob got some air shootin in between the imperfect cracks between my bumper/fender/headlights . too lazy to set up some tubing to get air directly to the ic but the damn thing stays cool

EDIT: added pic below so u get better idea

when i get my kit, i think i will be using my 96 side mount intercooler from a dsm, just like pengo.

pengo that is a intercooler from a dsm, but could be from 3z, or supra hehe.

I bought some U bend 2.5" pipes from JC whitney (3 pieces) cut them and coupled them together with some rubber connectors w/clamps at lowes. I got my FMIC from this guy tyrus, homemadeturbo.com used a few of his FMIC's. It's a 30" core cut down from a powerstroke intercooler with 2.5" endtanks welded on. It was the cheapest route, i think 276 shipped and 60 shipped for the 3 pieces of pipe. It fits my whole bumper...im me at jkan2001 for some pics

i think the supra side mount is way too huge to fit in the fender. have u seen one of those things? they are soo thick. don't think i haven't thought about it

I used to have the same setup as pengo until i upgraded to a front mount. it's definately better than nothing, and it does get air from the right duct in the bumper.
