I thought there were mixed reviews on the first two designs you posted?
My fmic is like the third one and positioned upside down like Mr HYDE posted. My charge pipes suck tho and i haven't messed with them enough to keep my fogs.

That ic is cool tho, how much power are you looking to get out of it? I'd imagine it'd be fine for a stock block engine...you can't push it toooo far lol

but on a side note, there are now ebay top mount manifolds, backdoor ic's, 60mm wgs, 50mm bovs, and lsd's....I wonder when obx or ssac will release pistons and rods...or worse, ems </TD></TR></TABLE>

if you use the first two intercoolers i posted with a diffuser inside the inlet side they work awesome also depends on if you have a bar an plate design or fin an wave design pretty much they both are above 70% efficent which is were it needs to be

Ah i see.... i prolly read a review on the ebay version of them

 

As long as the inlet and outlet of the IC is on the bottom then you should be able to run the charge pipe just underneath the fog lights. Its been done as I have done it myself..

 

well i already committed to buy it on ebay, so i think im just going to try it out and ill post some pics when i get it. just wondering, say i made 215 whp on a normal style intercooler. how much of an estimated power loss would i get from using this one? or would it just feel more laggy?
thanks

 

Buy it. Test it out and let us know. I always wanted a backdoor IC but never found one at the time I was looking for an IC. I'll get it if I ever buy a new IC.

 

was ever a fan of the backdoor style intercooler ..to harsh of a bend....how do you think you exhaust would flow if you used those type bends

 

probably not very well lol, but its for a stock d series so im not going for a lot of power. i mean, i dont want to lose it for a stupid reason, but i may have the endtanks modified if it seems to be a huge resriction. a plus is i wont have to cut my bumper support, i can keep my foglights, and it will be easier to make the piping

well i just realized i am a complete dumbass and didnt think about running the coldside pipe. the radiator will be directly in the way

 

do you have a horsepower goal?

 

like 210-220 whp

 

good news, i got a hold of the business over the phone and changed it out to a different one for a lower price
i couldnt get a refund, and this one is huge, but its the only size close to what i wanted so ill see what happens

If u had half radiator, u could move it and it would be fine.

Also, i you cut those in/outlets u could re-weld them at a 45degree and it would flow fine and still be backdoor.

 

thats ok, i got that one^ instead, im sorta on a budget, thats why its a cheap one to begin with lol. i talked to my local shop and they want more than i paid for the intercooler just to modify it, so that wasnt an option either, thanks though

 

hey if you goal is only around 200-300hp get a side mount IC from bullseyepower.com that will give you so many opitions and keep you cool enough
