suberdave Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 spent a few hours last night and most of today puting this thing in. i am very happy with the way it turned out... fit very nice means how it is for a car that was built 20 years later... runs awesome still. dose not feel like the turbo spools up any slower. and still boost right to 15PSI had to relocate the battery up into the spair tire well but fit nicely with a little triming. the bumper had to be cut almost in half then put back togther so air could get to the intercooler. and yes i know that my licecne plate is blocking air flow also... now all i have to do is get the front air dam on so the intercooler will blend in a little better... what to do next??? -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Dang. You never cease to amaze. Nice job. When are you going to do any of this kinda stuff to a Brat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 That looks really cool.Total sleeper style to those who don't notice the blacked out huge monster intercooler up front.Looks like that car would be fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thats awesome Dave. Now get a stock hood and that RX air dam. maybe nobody will notice the HUGE FMIC:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 that's awesome.. maybe bore holes through the bumper or something for better airflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I say Notch the front bumper.. but thats just me.. essentially where the license plate is recessed on the front bumper except about 3" wider on either side of the plate.. I did it on my car but my main reason was for extra cooling in this desert heat.. but on the other hand that may take away from the "sleeper" appearance.. and btw... I still envy you.. not 1.. but 2 ej swapped turbos.. rllywgn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

970subaru Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 sweet mounting bracket and battery relocation. is it quite a bit faster now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 sweet mounting bracket and battery relocation.is it quite a bit faster now? i have only driven it a few miles. i dont think it is going to make it a tone faster. hopefully a little bit. but it will keep it from heat soaking when it sits for more than 30 seconds. Thats awesome Dave. Now get a stock hood and that RX air dam. maybe nobody will notice the HUGE FMIC[/Quote] yeah i have the air dam. just need to do some cut and past to get it to fit... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 which front mount is that? I think the perrin core would fit better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 the perrin would be too wide for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 the intercooler is from Godspeed. i didnt know it when i bought it but thats what it says on it... more pics in the day light. with the air dam on . not super happy how it turned out. but there is not alot to bolt it to up there. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 What are the dimentions on that fmic? I looked at the brat. And damned if it wouldn't be sexy with a front mount. Just don't know if I wanna go THAT big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
