Here are some pics of my setup. I only have three couplers in the piping (throttle body,turbo to intercooler, intercooler to up pipe) the rest is welded. T3/T4 turbo on Stock 99 GSR motor.[/QUOTE]
nice what are you makin powert wise i havent ever seen a intercooler like that befor
I have not Dyno’d it yet I hope to make to the Dyno on Tuesday night I have been driving it for about a month now street tuning it. I am runing Neptune with boost controler (setup boost per gear per rpm) option runing 4 to 10 psi (wastegate spring is set at 4psi). JDM XSI non LSD trans. So back on topic I got the Intercooler idea from a friend of mine who is a welder by trade. So we fab everything up in our spare time and hopefully I can get 250hp by the time I am done( this should be easy to get). Spool time is really fast and the whole setup only has 90 degree bends and 2 45 degree bends. My next setup will be Air to Water and should only have 1 90 degree bend.
nice man good luck with your tune and i like all the ideas how bad will a 90 degree bend restrict the flow?
I dont remember the exact numbers off the top of my head but I know the more you can remove the better.

I just google searched and found the link above. Seams like it has the right info but I would check a couple of other sites just to make sure.
thanks ill read up on that.
Hey “ThePolishman” Im doing a new Setup and motor build on my DA and Im interested in What model and where you got that Intercooler you posted back in December! and if it would hold up to 500hp?
Ok I got a problem and I figured this thread seemed the most appropriate. I’m upgrading to 400whp from 300whp, and I need a bigger intercooler. I have a 91 converted to a 92-93 bumper, but still using the 91 bumper support. Currently I’m using an intercooler that maxes out at ~300whp and the dimensions are pretty much perfect for me since I didn’t have to cut or remove the bumper support. (core length of 18", core height of 6.5" and core thickness of 3.5" with 2.75" inlet/outlet; end to end length being 27") But this won’t cut it for 400whp, so what do you guys suggest. I don’t want to remove the bumper support since I hear it makes the bumper sag in the middle. My car isn’t a daily, it’s a weekend warrior and maybe sees the track 5 times a year, so keep that in mind.
Thanks.
I’m not quite at 400 but I have a 29"x9"x3", 3" and I’m still running with my stock 91 bumper support and my 91 bumper. Hope that helps!
Did you have to cut the support for that height? On my current 6.5" high intercooler I ‘maybe’ have another half an inch, or an inch max before I would have to cut into the support and I mounted it pretty low.
I only had to shave probably about 1/3 - 1/2 an inch in total off the bumper. Thats the only thing I had to do to make the bumper fit. Eventually I am going to get rid of the support and make some brackets to hang it on so it wont sag but probably wont get to that until summer.
[QUOTE=Laydee_Mini;2190004]I think this is the only one i really have.

Mini, from this picture it doesn’t look like you even have room to put the bumper support on that’s why I’m confused when you say you still have it on.
lol yea there was just enough room. It fits snug but goes right over the upper area of the front mount. I don’t think I have a picture with the bumper support on cause it looked ugly haha. But I can take a picture for you when I have the bumper off again.
Yah please if you can. I ended up buying a 30x10x3 intercooler yesterday so I’m gonna go with something similar to you hopefully. Thanks. 
I had to cut the grill out but that seems normal. I also had to cut the center portion of the support however retained factory mounting locations for it and still some support in the middle.
A few of these pics were just during mock up:
Did you leave your hangers like that i kinda like that idea.
No that was just to mock things up, if you left them like that the headlights would hit them.
I basically moved them inward towards the hood latch and ran another piece of metal across the top of the intercooler and mounted the hangers to that.
well thats cool i still have to mount mine i like the idea yeah i thought of the headlights after i posted haha
This is how I finally mounted my new 30"x10"x3" intercooler on my 90-91 DA with 92-93 bumper. Found someone who can weld aluminum, and had him weld 2 brackets underneath the intercooler, so that I can mount it to the frame from underneath after drilling bolt holes in the brackets. I also had to cut my 91 bumper support middle section to make room for it, and bolted the remaining 2 smaller support pieces back on the frame like shown in the 1st picture. 2nd picture is how it looks when I put the bumper back on.
I may support it with a bar running across the top, but it’s sturdy enough for right now and I figure I’d give others with a 90-91 bumper support ideas on getting it to fit and still keeping some bumper support to bolt the bumper on.
looks pretty clean man good job
looks great man nice job and some good ideas.
