Hey everyone im thinking about getting new intercoolers installed when I have the engine swap done. I was just wondering what types of experience you guys have with front mounts opposed to the side mount ones. Im looking at these as they seem to be a good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Godspeed-90-96-300zx-z32-turbo-s-mount-intercooler-kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem2ea7a9ab63QQitemZ200381410147QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Any advice?

I have these matey, and they are a great piece for the price. Not the best, but pretty good. The only issue i had was with my front repeaters not fitting, due to the height of the ic and how close they are to the inner face of the bumper. Check my ride pics for the little mod i manufactured in place of the indicator.

best intercoolers for the money by far imo...

they are as Alan and Joely said, a good piece of kit but, if you hav'nt got sufficiant ducting, half the IC is rendered useless

which is why i went for the greddys... as they came out high in tests when taking the oem bumper into consideration. good that as i researched them after i bought them!!

Ah yes, but....... i have removed my front fogs and placed venturi inlet ducts to vent air to the top of the ic. I have removed the rad expansion tank and c.c from the left hand side, removed and relocated a new washer bottle from the right hand side and cut away the inner wheel arch to allow a full air flow from the smic's, and maybe, this air flow vents the dics's/caliper's too.

:tongue: :):)

Here is a pic of the bumper that they would be sitting behind. It begs for a FMIC but I dont know if I can afford that with the engine swap. Who makes a good FMIC? I can think of greddy, hks and autobahn88. Are there any others that are good but not overpriced?
