Title: Mk2 Intercooler Install pics
Post by: KTZed on December 31, 2007, 04:31:27 pm: IC from a Nissan Silvia SR20DET
2" Aluminum tube from scrap yard
Fuel filler hose from random ford truck gas tanks
Total cost was about $75 :D
Had to make new lower rad mounts and trim the rad support in a couple places so I could move the rad right over to the pass side.
And BTW its a rad from a non AC gasser I believe, same width as the fan shroud.
It cut an easy 200F off of the EGT's...that means its time for more fuel :twisted:

For those not familiar with the trend here lately, anything over 15 years old can be imported from other countries and since we're closest to japan here on vancouver island, there are about a million skylines, silvias, fairlady z, toyota landcuisers, mistu delicas, etc. etc. running around. Not to mention the number of people swapping SR20 engines into 240sx's (and upgrading their intercoolers).
Im not sure I totally recommend this IC however as it was kind of a pain to fit...if I had found one that was a little thinner and had inlet/outlet on the same side it would have been much easier to fit in front of the rad...at least with small bumpers.
