I've basically decided to keep my S14 for now when I get back to the US next month. I realized how much I enjoy working on something in my spare time and it not being my only form of transportation will make things even easier.
Anyway, I was setting the car up for a KA-T before I moved to dubai and bought most of the parts. I bought an ATI 2-core intercooler from a mustang procharger kit. They are vert flow with one inlet at top on one side, bottom on the other. Dimensions are about 18 x 12.5 x 3. I want to retain the crash rebar.
Anyone have ideas as to whether this is going to be a severe pain in the ass or not? One side, whatever side I choose to have the bottom pipe will be able to use the typical fmic pipe routing for our cars. The outlet/inlet that will be on top is what I'm worried about, thinking I'm going to have issues with the headlights or something. I'm just trying to think it through before I arrive so I can decide whether or not to just buy a normal front mount setup, I would prefer to use this core though to see how well the vert. flow performs. Pics of a similar core on a G8 (supercharged G8 GXP, now that would be fun).
