Re: opinions

And with 240s, space is an issue. Without a different front end, a taller intercooler won't do much good as it won't get any flow.

Re: opinions

on the s13, i can see how nissanfanatic has a point.. there isn't much room for a taller intercooler but there is room for a wide one.. the problem then is the piping.. it must be wider to avoid air flow restriction when air comes into a wider intercooler.. so basically i guess i have to change my point of view.. atleast for the s13..

Re: opinions

I'm gonna say, the boostdesigns cooler is just about as big as you would want to go without an aftermarket bumper. Its a 24"x6"x2.75" and I had to do a little trimming for the endtanks. You can see in my pics where the endtanks run into the bumper. Piping is pretty tough on the cold side. You have to finagle the piping in between the washer fluid resovoir. Unless you want to attempt the other method where you go over the frame and come up the end of the radiator. If I were you, I would go with a kit. Proven fitment and everything is included. But I will tell you that couplers and clamps are NOT included with the boostdesigns kit and you have to weld a BOV flange on yourself.
