I dont mind cuting flush and boxing the frame rails but Id like to leave the headlight brackets. Im shooting for as little cutting on the car as possible other then the frame rails.
2. Go with a High Mount IC like the PBM variety. I personally think the HMIC is the best set up for an S14. A huge FMIC is usually overkill and with all of the piping it makes for slow throttle response. The major downside is you can't have AC with the HMIC. |
I know lots of people jump to this as an anwser as it has been regurgitated around the forums but as you mentioned that intercooler doesnt allow you to use your ac condensor and requires modification of the headlight brackets and Radiator support!!! I want a/c and I want to be able to see the intercooler from the front of the car. Also this is about the most evasive way of mounting the intercooler Iv seen yet. Minus those folks that cut the middle section of their crash bar out. Hope they dont hit a pole. LOL |
