Wide 200SX with engine!
All my other projects(even the amlost finished Nismo R32 and Hasewaga Civic)are on hold and int their boxes and now I'm working only on this...
That was a crucial decision since this project will go all the way!  Body: -Starting from the rear the rear bumper was the one used on Signal drift cars in my opinion one of the most beatiful ones for the 200SX... -While DoLuck sideskirts seam to be the number one choice right now I believed that a more curvy sideskirt would fit the car better...In the pics you can see the custom made one's...However suggestions are welcome!(I can always do the DoLuck ones  ) -Widebody was the way since this project will be a wild one but after a lot of thinking I found widebody a more mainstream solution while I wanted something radical...Old-school fender flares was they way to go...(I think I've seen only one 200SX with fender flares but it looked wicked...if I find the pic I'll post it!) -Fornt bumper...N O T H I NG!I can't find one bumper tha I really like.Most bumper's are to simple while the most complicated ones destroy the look og the SX...Please any suggestion(with a pic)will help a lot! (Currently on the car is the aftermarket bumper that came tih the Fujimi kit) Pics:    Now let's focus on the rear bumper...It's just the basic shape I've not even sanded it once(however it looks quite good and I think that with some sanding and filling it will be perfect)    Now on the engine I'll post a comlete modification list when I'll finally setle with what's in and what's out.However RB26 with the twin turbo setup will be the thing to look for...Here is a pic to just see the layout everything placed temporary...(the scrathbuilt header is aluminoum!)  That's it for now! Progress will be quick since it's my only project for this year but noway I'm gonna rush it.. Comments and feedback will be the best help in order to make this model better... Thanks in advance! P.S:Sorry for the big post and my english...

As you can see in the lsat pic the intercooler will be mounted in front of the engine top mounted style...(Something you might see in some drift cars...) P.S:At least one reply is good!

Re: Wide 200SX with engine!
It's a modified V-mount intercooler. Top mount is over the motor, using the hood as a tool of airflow. Top-mount intercoolers have to use hood scoops for airflow like the STi and Pulsar GTi-R. The Signal drifters (along with many others) use v-brackets in the front to mount the intercooler and radiator in a V shape so that neither cooler is sacrificed of airflow.
 Here's a pic of the radiator v-mounted. The Signal twins are modifed because it's not a true V angle. Also with the intercooler mounted this close to the motor cuts down the airflow through pipes thus bumping up throttle response. Very effiecent design if you can get it to work properly. It may also allow the use of a bigger core. Very nice project BTW.

nis.k.a that was exactly what I wanted to say but Ididn't knew how to call it in english...The signal brothers car was some of the cars I saw that...
Howeveer with big engines(over 2000cc) and a good CPU the lag from lobger pipes wouldn't be such a big issue...For example for a Starlet GT with a 1330cc turbo engine the intercooler has to be top mount!!!
