Hey I would like to know what people have seen as set ups for the S13(please post pics) Yes I've searched and there isn't a thread like this. I was originally going V-mount (still debating), but then I saw the Full-Race intercooler and it seems it has very short pipes, but still mounts in front of the radiator. Is a V-mount the ultimate set up (with ducting of course)? I was always concerned with the size of the IC in a V-mount, especially if you don't want to cut the radiator support. Front mount has too long of pipes for me, whereas a full-race like setup seems a good compromise-large size and short pipes...

if you don't want to keep AC mount eh fmic upside down behind the rad for the shortest pipes. A guy on FA did that before and after and didn't lose any power despite the ic being close to a hot source.

Wow, I've never seen that before, I've seen where the radiator is just canted back and the intercooler is in front but never that...I'll think about it..
