Default Here goes my Solo Intercooler Install Sunday Afternoon... (PICS)

Well, i was supposed to go up to LA to LSD MOTORSPORTS (mike)'s house to do my ---- on saturday... well i guess i can say i didn't have the parts i needed and was bout to head up with just an intercooler n hope to get it done. didn't wanna get stuck incase we didn't finish and at the same time i didn't wanna drive for 2 hours there n 2 hours back in a damn sparco seat... So the day Started off early sunday morning. did most of my driving around saturday, picked up welder at a buddy's house, pipes in santee which is 40 mins from my house, napa for connectors, home depot for cutting wheels then all i had to do sunday was go get my cutting/grinder machine from my other friends house. it was a damn long *** weekend but here it goes... on to the pics.


First thing we did was strip the bitch down nakid, didn't wanna damage the fenders or anything during the install so off they went


After that we mounted the bitch, the intercooler was pretty large n i am in love with it, pretty cooling if u ask me, going from a sidemount to this thing is awesome.

Preppin the passanger side under the battery, didn't wanna relocate it n drill a hole through the battery tray like everyone else so.... drill a hole through the framing under it was a perfect idea... worked great.

So yeah thats about it, over all it was a long but fun day. when we first finished i couldn't mash it cuz i made some ghetto reducers off the intercooler end tanks cuz there 3 inch but my piping was 2.5, i picked some reducers up the next day so everythings in and workin great as of right now. feels real nice and i kno its doing its job... any input, props of flame is appreciated... more projects to come.

as for the turbo, its a GT2860RS, i made a thread a while back of me installing it, it ran pretty good on the sidemount but it got NO FLOW at all, no side vent no nothing. jus nice hot air. now i got this bad boy on and it feels awesome, and i feel safer i guess. as for the welder, it's a cheapo Lincoln electric Weldpac 100 without using gas. the welds are nicer when you use gas.
