s14 intercooler

[vinhisbored]

planning on turbo'ing the ka on my s14 ('98) and uh.. i was wondering how many people have turbo'd their cars.. (with the STOCK bumpers) i'm just wondering about the intercooler clearance for different sizes, and how they fit. i'm planning on running quite a large turbo, and me and my friend were talkn about putting a 24 x 12 x 3 intercooler on it, but he said that i'd most likely have to 'cut alot' as well as take out the bumper support. can anyone tell me what they've done on their car w/ the stock OEM bumpers? as well as the sizes of their intercooler? how much cutting had to be done, and was it necessary to take out the bumper support?

i am running the FMIC kit for the KA from greddy...... and yea i had to take out my fog lights.. and cut some of it to clear the IC....... i also had to cut the support to make it fit.... overall it is easy as long as you have the proper cutting tools... it only takes a couple of hrs at a slow pace

what's the size of the intercooler? i searched around.. didnt really see dimensions..

for my fmic i had to remove the foam insert and trim off the pinch weld on the suport. after that it almost fit i then trimed the edges on the sides after marking the suport while doing a test fit

yeah i heard that the fog lights had to be taken out.. if you have any pictures from when you did it, i'd love if you could share it with me.. also.. what are the dimensions of the intercooler by inches? i've searched around.. but didnt find much.. other then it being sold, and the features. i see that you're using the greddy kit.. how much as you boosting? i plan on going with the greddy kit as well this summer, and going w/ their FMIC.. if they claim to be running about 230ish.. on 6.5 lbs of boost.. how much would you get if you were say.. boosting 9-10? sorry.. very curious.. thanks for your time/feedback
