Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
don't have one, but just wondering... why!?
trunk mount = only good for straightline topspeed runs (0-300km/h) there isn't enough airflow behind the cabin of a mr2 for one to work correctly... then you still need lots of scoops and vents... water to air = more efficient if you're gonna add that much weight n e way just my .02

Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
would have to agree with ac427cpe but if you want to do a trunk mount for somethig diferent i saw a really nice setup on one the guy mounted it in his trunk of course but the cool part he cut open his trunk lid and molded two electric fans in it, was really nice looking had thought about it befor just for something different

Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
There are many ways to make a trunk mount work and get plenty of air into them. A lot of folks have found a lot of interesting solutions to this.
Water-to-air is a better solution for 1/4 mile racing since you can add ice for each run. Trunk mount would be better for road racing. Before you go hacking up your trunk and investing time and energy into a custom IC set up. What are your goals? A typical side mount upgrade like the GReddy or Spearco are sufficeint for 500+ HP ... add water injection (a better use of hte trunk IMO) and you have no cooling worries.

Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
My goals are basically to get to 300+HP and running 12s in the quarter mile. That is pretty much it until I get to the states. Then I will go for more.

Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
... you only need 240 rwhp to touch 12s. 300 rwhp would make deep 12s easy
 .I would suggest the GReddy IC for your goals. That is what I am using. Simple to install and will support plenty of power.

Re: WTB: Front-mount IC
i'm sticking with the side mount... later will add water spray and the a nitrous express cooler thingy that sprays co2 on the cooler to chill it. problem is i can't decide on what side mount... haha decisions decisions! i've seen front and top mount set ups too .. i'd definately look at a big top mount before drilling my boot away to nothing ...
