Hey Guys. What are you running for an IC? How are you mounting them? I'm doing a turbo ls1. Everyone talks about them but after many searches, I couldn't find much info. Would love ideas on how to run mine.

Here's my custom built intercooler. He used all the factory holes to mount it.

^^ thats awsome. I just read your whole build. No matter what, it looks cool. lol Pardon my ignorance, you like that, that pic is through the grill right? The intercooler is in front of the radiator then im assuming the inlets are pointed down? What size is that? Do you guys have any pics with the grill off? Thanks!

Take a look at the RJC front mounts. They are hung from the radiator support brace & 2 straps on the bottom. If you look at the radiator support where it joins the front end sheet metal (near the hood latch) there are 2 bolts about 11" apart. Pull those 2 bolts & that is where the main IC support bolts attach. The bottom straps require a small hole to be drilled through each & into the lower radiator support for 2 small screws. Very solid mounting & tries to make use of as many existing holes as possible.

wow. thanks! do you think mounting it so close to the radiator hurts it? Would it work better further forward?

Its not as close as you'd think. Its a very good fit.
