<HR>








I still need to finish my hot pipe,finish the welding on my cold pipe,make more brakets for the IC,make a downpipe,weld the return on the oil pan,and chill till I get the FMU from nissanfanatic

I'm getting there.I've been collecting pieces for over a year.It's finally coming together

[nissanfanatic]

Looks good man. Be nice having another KA-T on board. Then maybe you, tat, and I can start the official KA-T crew.lol

[monooxide]

Ill be KA-T in like 1 year pretty easy.

[Chuki_breath]

im hoping to be this year, but i need a damn engine. I hope i have enough to fund all this shit. The engine is what kills me, way to many damn miles. 162,000....i dont wanna risk it, but i probably will lol. If compression and leakdown goes good, im definantly going for like 5 psi set up, until i can fund a rebuilt engine.


not trying to steal your thread or anything....sorry
its looking good though man. Cant wait to see it done.

[TatII]

yeah we'll be the boost is better/ af ka-t crew. but yeah man that thing looks freaking clean.

[Hit_N_Run-player]

what turbo are you using? why such a small IC?

[nissanfanatic]

Small intercooler? YOu see how freaking thick it is?

He's using a straight T3.

[Hit_N_Run-player]

lol, i looked a the second pick and saw how thick it was..

[ghostchild316]

LOL all my buds say the same thing untill I point out the thickness of it.It is the perfect size for the opening on my bumper.

hehe ^^^^^^ thats my favorite part of your modlist

[orestes]

and so an intercooler like that will be just as good as a taller one if its thick enough? that seems like a more economical setup and it looks like a perfect fit for the stock front bumper maybe more for a S14 front bumper. and the radiator can get more air. anyways that looks hell of cool i think. never seen a setup like that.

Yeah, it's funny, and so true! Ok...someone's ganna say I'm a tool....

[rps13freak]

would that intercooler fit inside of the stock89 bumper

[RiotGearOnline]

I have always been told that a thick intercooler is not always as good, because you risk starving your radiator of a lot of air. It is a lot harder for air to get through the intercooler, and then through the radiator, and then into your engine bay. Be careful not to overheat!!! Also, is that a tube and fin, or bar and plate? My reason for asking is that tube and fin is more prone to get dents, especially when it is so close to the ground. You may want to put a screen in front if it is. I am thinking of running a 22"x8"x3" for my SR20DET, but I am not sure if there is a formula for how much serface area/size of intercooler in relation to how much it can cool. Anyone know?
