Default Ryan's New Toy
I made the mounts up today for my 31X12X4 OBX intercooler. Man that thing is huge....

Now All I need to do is finish plumbing the Meth injection.

That's an interesting look Ryan. Don't think you'd win many car show tho!

So you had to build a new frame to mount the nose on? Impressive!

The passenger side piping should be pretty easy, I just need a 90 degree bend and a straight pipe to get it into the intercooler. There is already a joint there to make it easy.

The drivers side is going to be a pain but it'll all work out. The dirvers side it going to make me move the Bypass valve and associated plumbing.

Wait a minute. Are there two intercoolers in there? One has vertical tubes and the other horizontal. Do you plumb from the turbo to the rear i/c first, then get a second pass through the front i/c to get additional cooling? or are they mounted in parallel?

I like your tranny cooler setup too....fan....cool.

Oh, and some guy with an STS on his 04 GTO just installed meth inj & cranked off a 10.68 @129. Not too shabby for a 14 sec, 95mph car.

Have any plans on where that old IC is going? I think I can find a home for it in my camaro. I just picked up a procharger and am thinking about adding an intercooler. Shoot me an e-mail, n_mcgrew@hotmail.com
