And spray paint JDM on it.

this is a 89 probe gt intercooler wedged in my crx
Thats a good idea I never tought of that and it would'nt be to hard with a hole saw, and a torch. I think I'll try that out. Thanks for the good info. I can get that same intercooler for $15 at the local yard everything is dirt cheap. Any turbo is only $34.00

your turbos are $34? Ours are 73 and they have a shitty selection of cars

Yeah you have to pull them yourself too thought. Theres always a bunch of chrysler t3's, sometimes rhb5's, and some saab to4e. But since my buddy works there I know when all the good stuff comes in. He got a b18a with tranny and ecu for around $300.

mounting your intercooler like that isn't going to do ----. it might actually heat up yout intake charge.

I did that with mine. charge pipe was a bit warm (quite warm) but no worse than a cold air/ram air. I think the front mount PCV pipe had some cooling effect.

Thats a good idea. you could wire it up so that it activates when your rad fan starts up.

Or have a toggle switch so you can turn it on whenever you want.
