for those of you whose boosted, how is your intercooler mounted? does it just hang there from conections of the piping? or did you bolt it somewhere w/ brackets? i have the ww rs kit and im planning on peicing together my own kit, i' dbe nice to have pics of the i/c bolted up to wherever its bolted to. thanks

 

Mine's a water to air intercooler under the hood... we made brackets to use stock mounting holes for the battery tray and airbox...

here's an explanatory pic...

 

whats the diffrance between the a/a ic and the a/w ic? i know one uses water to cool down and the other uses air like a radiator, but are there any benifits to using a air/liquid i/c over a air/air ic? or is it all the same? and what turbo and manafold are you using? do you have any clearance problems w/ you turbo, wastegate and radiator, i've read that the z10 radus bars give you the option of running the eg radiator so wouldnt that free up some clearance? thanks

I'm using a stock radiator, F-Max manifold, t4/3 hybrid turbo, and we had to notch the webbing on the block to make it all fit.

It's REALLY tight, but it works.

Z-10's are on my wishlist, and I hope to have em by February... Before the track's open so I can tune em a good bit...

W/A intercoolers are a good bit more efficient than same size a/a intercoolers. That's why I went with one, not to mention, I wanted a sleeper

 

I had to ditch my stock bumper support and fab up a little mounting bracket for my IC. I also have the ww kit, but I had to cut it out for optimal cooling capabilities. Here are some pics.

 

Blown90hatcH you need a bigger intercooler

I have no intercooler I might be lookng into one of those side mount jobs this summer.

 

Mine is bolted to either side of where the A/C condensor used to be. The guy who did it fabbed some brackets and welded them on.

 

man skylinecore is the ****!!!!!

 

Shitty picture.....but you get the idea. sleeper is good!

 

how much power are you putting down? just curious to know if the size intercooler you are using can handle high boost duties?
