FrontMount almost in!

[PaCemkr86]

I noticed that you removed the front sway bar. Is that necessary to clear the inlet & outlet pipes? Is that required for most FM installs?

here is an install on the 4inch version of the same intercooler with a sway bar.

Looks really nice. What did the powder coat cost? I polished mine but if they get to be a pain to keep polished I might just powder coat them.
Thanks

Looks like you've been busy taking weight off the car. Just send all that unwanted stuff my way... I'll take it! :biggrin:

it sure makes it alot easier to work on..
the s-10 manuel steering box is nice , direct bolt on using the s-10 pitman arm.

I've been thinking about the same intercooler too. I've seen some with a 24X12x3 core for about $98 + shipping on ebay and some 24X12X4 for 135+ shipping. THe only think I would change on the pipes is to use 45 bends after the U pipes and run the pipe back to the engine at an angle, instead of the sharp 90. I would look for a larger radiused 90 for the pipe connecting to the TB too.

i think all you have to do is use a tripod... take picture of engine with hood up [off would be better].... than put hood on - close hood take picture..... bring both photos into photoshop - hood off - bottom layer..... mask desired space and ..........VOILA!!!!!! you have a cool pic..... the key to all of this is the Tripod.... the photo must be taken at the EXACT same location and angle. HTH

I have ZERO issues with my alky/BOV. My BOV is mounted ~12-15" before alky nozzle.

That is not a picture of your car, right? Yours is a different color, some shade of beige.
