College is lame... See if you weren't paying tuition you could pay your own gas money! Seriously, it looks cool. I need to see it in person and take a ride before I give you a full thumbs up!Help pay for gas and its a deal lol
I leave in two weeks for College. So I am super pressed on time to get er done

Yes, but there is a lot of resistance in an intercooler, and a lot of volume is added. So the balace point where the air is getting hot enough that it's actually worth cooling it is about 10psi. If you don't run over 10psi in 90% or your driving, you are wasting your money buying and installing one--and you will see worse throttle response and less power at less then full power because of the added resistance and volume.Of course there is, colder air is denser air...cooler charge air is denser than warmer charge air......intercooler means cooler charge air (if done post turbo preintake) and denser air is good.
The main reason why I didn't pick one up and they were all too big lolYes, but there is a lot of resistance in an intercooler, and a lot of volume is added.

Some contruction equipment where throttle response needs to be very crisp doesn't use an intercooler even with much higher boost pressures.
where did you get 10psi.. it would completely depend on the engine and turbo. on sentras at 6 psi from a t28 we needed a intercooler, but it was one hell of a small one. i agree theres resistance but also theres a lot to gain from a intercooler. just dont buy them huge ricer intercoolers.Yes, but there is a lot of resistance in an intercooler, and a lot of volume is added.

why didnt you pick on up from like a audi 1.8t or an old probe gt (theres always a few on craigslist in my area for 20 bucks). their pretty small and go on the driver side of the bumper (i dont know if this applies to the BII but on my ranger i have a tranny cooler on the passenger side).The main reason why I didn't pick one up and they were all too big lol
When I was at the junk yard I found an Audi and the intercooler was too big for my app. I had a 1999 VW passat for a while and it had a driver side wheel well mounted intercooler that seemed really small... Ill look for one again, but for now we will see how it does without one.where did you get 10psi.. it would completely depend on the engine and turbo. on sentras at 6 psi from a t28 we needed a intercooler, but it was one hell of a small one. i agree theres resistance but also theres a lot to gain from a intercooler. just dont buy them huge ricer intercoolers.
also im trying to think of any factory turbo'd car that isnt intercoolered.

now i am no expert, but i know colder air does give you more power.
i saw a show where they piped a\c air through the intake on a diesel truck and it was impressive how much more power. until the a/c could not keep up any more.
that is why dragsters are happy with cold air
"Intercoolered"?also im trying to think of any factory turbo'd car that isnt intercoolered.
1980 Firebird with a carb'ed 301 turbo :icon_hornsup:also im trying to think of any factory turbo'd car that isnt intercoolered.
hey man i got your message over there. I joined up to see what you can do with that sucker. Oh and yes a 4.0 can hold up to high boost here is my 91 4.0 single t3 pushing 15psi
it needs to be tuned for the 15psi as i cant lay into it hard at 15 but at 5psi it drives great everyday with no detonation. i do need new remanufactured heads as i think mine are starting to crack again
