intercooler dilemma

[shawn_16]

i have a oem r32 gtr fmic and a oem mk4 supra smic

not sure on which one i want to use

i picked the gtr intercooler cheap but i was going to run into piping problems like either relocating the battery or running piping behind the intercooler from the passenger side to avoid that

this monster supra smic will not fit very well where the stock rb20 intercooler is currently
i was thinking of running the supra smic as a front mount...

what do you guys think?

Just relocate your battery or get a smaller one. Don't use a SMIC as a FMIC.

GTR intercooler. Sell the Supra SMIC.

what is the problem running a smic in front mount location?
the piping would be shorter using the supra intercooler and there is more space to work with

i think you should bring the car to P1 in Port Orchard and have Justin work his majic.

he's done some magic to my car already...

The supra intercooler is like a foot tall by a foot wide by 6" thick. Mounting that in the middle of your front bumper will not only look wierd but should need longer pipes than a R32 intercooler which is designed to be front mounted.

in comparison to the gtr?
no...
