anyone good at tig welding? can make intercoolers?
 

if anyone is good at tig welding, and can make a decent intercoolers, you could make aftermarket sidemounts for a 300zx, sell them for 500 -600 a pair and kill the market, right now the cheapest aftermarket IC's cost about 800 -900 bucks

they look like this

If I owned a 300zx I'd just get a regular front mount and make it work.

Re:anyone good at tig welding? can make intercoolers?
 

In theory it's better to have 2 intercoolers on a twin turbo setup and not let the air join until just right before the throttle body, or better yet have 2 plenums and 2 throttle bodies, just a balance tube between the plenums.
The theory is that if one turbo is flowing a tiny bit less than the other that will lead to turbulent flow where the air paths join.

then get two front mounts :P

If you use a dual inlet intercooler than that should solve the problem of turbulance.

Re:anyone good at tig welding? can make intercoolers?
 

Yeah, that's essentially 2 coolers on the same core.

Re:anyone good at tig welding? can make intercoolers?
 

The problem is finding the cores that are that narrow. The only people that I know of that make them is Spearco and they think there ---- is made of gold.
I do a FMIC kit for the 3000GT and Dodge Stealth TT(replaces the two tiny SMICs)that runs twin inlets into the intercooler and a single outlet to the TB, it works great. The 300Z has twin TB I think so you would have to run two outlets.

so how much would you charge me for a front mount intercooler?, and whitey, if you havent seen this engine bay, its not a honda, im sure you could probably make it work since you are good at fabricating, but i dont have a gas welder/my welds arent good enough, so im not going to attempt it. its not a simple job, plus with a FMIC on stock intercoolers there is a lot of pressure loss, therefore the turbos have to push out more psi at the turbo to = less % psi at the intake manifold.

Believe me, I'm very familiar with the clusterfuck of a Z's engine bay. Fitting anything in their is crazy
