Lets see the how-tos that everyone has regarding their FMICs. It was a doozie for me to find really good info about putting a spearco in the front of an omni.

Here is how I did it...

Well you cant see everything to well but this les you see most of the plumbing. I have 2 U bends I cut in half and then 3 feet of silicone hose and 12 tbolt clamps. FMIC is an 20x12x3 core with evo endtanks. You can see the intercooler behind the bumper.

The AA body has a hole on the drivers side I opened up a little bit, and I created a hold on the passenger side. I had to move the computer to make room for the ecu.

I also had to remove material from the headlight brackets to fit the pipe between the headlight and the bumper supports. I got lucky and it fit!!!!!

Cordes, I've got those same exact pins on my SC, I never noticed that before. Also, if you ever need tubing for piping/exhaust projects, etc... there is a diesel supply store right behind the concrete plant on the W side of the bridge in downtown. Take Diversion street down there and driev around back, cool guys for everything turbo related. Or Parker, that's a company over by crooks and 59 that has silicone hoses, t bolts, etc etc.

well my front bumper cover that's make from fiberglass was for a 95 civic sedan but with alot of modification it fits my CSX. i used that bumper cause it was given to me from my partial sponsor AUTO HI-LITES. He got it from a customer that damaged it and replaced it...so it's for free, it's for me.. i later found out from some help from my brother that's into VW's that his early 90's bumper for a jetta fits shadow's with almost no work involved and there is alot of choices availible for a v dub, food for thought. anyway someday i'll get to finish tuning my car and get to the track. it should run 10's as an 8v 2.2 but high 10's as i have a 555. when i get a 413 low 10's shouldn't be to hard. I've got alot of money into it but not as much time to get it working perfect. right now i'm working on my anti lag set up and so far it's coming along better now, as i was stuck for a while with my set up having problems keeping the head on the block cause of tuning issue's trying to spool a gt35r as fast as possible. So far as i promised 8valves, my update on my setup, i was spooling around 3k. that was unbelievable but had major issues with that so now i increased spool time and i'm in the 3850 range for spool now and my anti lag lets me free rev 12 psi so far, so i think i'm headed in the right direction now..but untill i get my egt gauge installed to see temps my tune is starting to look good. My road trips are ending soon so i'll be able to get back to work and have some new updates and info.

I was waiting patiently to hear back, thank you. I am still baffled at how you got it to boost so low, the only thing I can come up with is severly retarded timing, espescially if the car was weaker than you thought it should be in teh higher rpms. I can get my 30R to 20 psi before 3000 rpms when I had the timing WAY messed up, as in like 4* initial. It went absolutley nowhere at that boost level as I let out imediately knowing something was wrong, but it made me wonder if that's what you had going on?

That very much so amazes me even still though. You're still getting full boost before my 30R is by 250 rpms... and the 35R exhaust wheel is MUCH, and I mean MUCH larger than the 30. That speaks dividends about something on the car, whether it be in the head, intake/induction area, great cooler (or at least better than mine which wouldn't have been hard) TB size... maybe some other factors. Kudos to you though! I'm not making the jump to a 35R until maybe next winter, and that's maybe. I need better than T2 rods to start pushing past where the 30R will die out come this spring with Paul on the keyboard.

you l-body guys are crazy. if i see these cars on the line, i'm headed for the hills.

i got a technical question on super-sized intercoolers:

isnt there a point, volume-wise, where the size of the intercooler actually hinders performance?

what i mean is, there's a point where the intake charge temp cannot be reduced anymore (ie: it's very close to ambient air temp), but, the extreme volume of the intercooler and the associated piping causes the compressor to over-work in order to fill all the volume with compressed air.

not to mention excessive aerodynamic drag.

i gotta believe the pro racers know how to calculate/determine the optimum air-to-air intercooler volume for any given compressor wheel.....anyone? SMP Racing?

The ambient inlet temps (read from OTC scanner) never reached
ambient but I remember being very happy with temp drop, like 20*
above at end off track. Never had lag, that one went in place of a
smaller 12" NPR I was running for a few months. I would run the 19"
tall NPR again, nice cooler for a van.

That cooler got painted black and a pentastar logo placed in the
center to hide it...a little :o Great coolers wish someone wouldflow
test one on a bench.

Russ can you tell me exactly how you set up the temp. readings before and after the intercooler?

I want to do the same to my intercooler to see how good it really is but I'm not EXACTLY sure on how to go about doing it.

.

Your IAT sensor in intake manifold reads directly to your cal,
monitoring that from a OTC scanner and knowing temp outside
will tell all. Beating the death out of non intercooled car in the
heat of summer you can realy get the temps up...like way over
*200!

I can view some old datalog runs if you want solid numbers on
a triple core stocker, have ambient temps saved with files.

Very good question. People on here will claim no lag issues going with the huge coolers such as the large NPR unit. Gus always basically said... fit the largest cooler you can, if it doesn't fit then it's too large:)

It does make sense that too large of a volume for a specific turbo application would increase lag. 5digits at DC once told me that Chrysler did some testing on the T-II coolers way back and found that increased volume did indeed increase lag. Probably a large NPR with a stock garrett might pose a problem lag-wise, but haven't heard anything bad yet.

"...Chrysler did some testing on the T-II coolers way back and found that increased volume did indeed increase lag...."

that was what i was wondering. there are some tradeoffs with larger i/c's and related piping....testing of various sizes is a great way to determine best size for any given turbocharger. seems "fit the biggest" works with small cars like TD's.

I had a stock TII intercooler in a stock location. I got bored one day over the summer and decided to front mount it.

I started by test fitting the cooler and cut out a hole for the inlet pipe.

Here's a closer look at the hole I cut in the lower radiator support:

...got the cooler ready

Slapped it in and began plumbing it up
http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/photopost/data/567/medium/SDAC15_005.jpg

The straps were interesting... I made one out of the bumper cover's lower support and bent it until I had wrapped it around the intercooler... the other strap I stole from our metal bench... yeh know the cross-members it has? Yah Turbo Mopar style. :dancingbana:
http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/photopost/data/567/medium/SDAC15_007.jpg



Right now I have everything induction-wise out and am redoing it all. I repainted the intercooler gloss black, the stud sticking out of the frame will be cut off so I can make the intercooler fit flush against the wall, and I'm building better straps for it.. I'm just making everything look a little nicer until my Mishimoto and i/c piping arrives.

Looks good from here! I have to admit I spent a lot more on my intake plumbing than originally planned but I wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing as possible. I'm sure your GLH would stomp mine though....other than the 3" exhaust and the intercooler it's mostly stock stuff and 17 psi boost. Great fun to deliver pizza in though!

I used a generic ebay bar and plate that appears to be a Mishimoto (it is actually stamped OBX) but I always hated the end tank configuration. I had it changed for $50 to swap the tanks to have opposite side inlets and outlets.

Here's what I've got so far...

Having a difficult time mounting this Supra Intercooler. I need some brackets to hold it up. As you can see, zip ties are keeping it up (higher) right now. Rather than have it rest on the frame, I'd like to suspend it; making it a more direct shot at the TB. Still trying to figure out a different solution for a fan as well. Something less thick.

Not really sure how well the rad is going to cool as there's almost no flow coming in from the front.

I'm using radiator hose for the 90* and straight couplers, didn't feel like spending $10 a piece for couplers and clamps. Piping will be 2" for now, and I'm still contemplating on where I should mount the RFL bov, top or bottom pipe?????


Comments, complaints, questions, suggestions, I'd like to hear em.

Tony - mount your BOV on the top pipe as close to the TB as possible. That way the air charge doesn't have to go allllll the way through the intercooler and all that piping to get out. If it's a 5spd it'll actually impede on your performance as it will take longer to get the charge out and a new one in.

TurboXS even recommends this.

Maybe you hav this backwards? That is the reason why you install it on the bottom hose except for the fact that it is more work on the bottom.

Venting the pressure spike at the turbo is priority #1.

^ this has been argued to no avail for a long time. surge starts at the TB when the plate shuts. if you are really worried about it, use two BOVs on the top and bottom. i've got an hks ssqv (really friggin loud) and although it's rather annoying, it pops everytime a pressure wave hits it, so going from boost to half throttle (not quite into vacuum), where comp surge is worst, you can hear the bov popping as the waves hit it (sounds like a stooge, or maybe even zoidberg). the bov is louder after the i/c becuase it's more compressed (that and pressure is a function of air speed vs area).

tony, my glh I/C completely covers my radiator, and i have no issues in cooling, in fact my I/C is mounted in a nearly identical location.

I'm installing mine close to the turbo, unless I can find another one for cheap, then I'll run 2.

04-15-2006, 01:08 PM
I've found the BOV to be much louder and more responsive when located before the intercooler. I once had two 1G DSM BOVs on my '89 Shadow ES. It had a "2.5 TII" setup. One BOV was before the TII intercooler, one after. When they would go off, you could hear a slight delay between them. The surge was dumped very quickly using two valves making for a short discharge noise. FWIW, I always mount the BOV before the intercooler on my cars.

I think it is erroneous to think of the surge going backwards through the intercooler and out the BOV. The turbo is outputting a LOT of air just before the throttle slams shut. There is no way the direction of the air is going to reverse itself. It will 'stack' against the throttle plate. You're better off dumping the excess pressure before the intercooler before the turbo has to press through the intercooler causing more surge.

Toyota Supra intercooler had the ends cut off and welded back on to face opposite directions. There's ten feet of intercooler plumbing. The plumbing is two inch I.D. black ABS plastic pipe from Home Depot, glued together with black RTV. The only mods to the van were some drilling and bending on the body to get the intercooler to fit. I had to adjust the position of the trans cooler. And some hole cutting to run the pipes from the intercooler to the engine compartment. No A/C mods because I live in AZ and need it.

Here are some more shots of the IC plumbing. I mocked up the bottom pipe today. I'm using 2 1/4" ABS plastic instead of my 2" stainless. Lighter, better flowing, and easier to connect. Mounting the RFL on the top pipe. I JB welded the two stainless exhaust reducers onto the aluminum BOV pipe, and it works nice. Everything should be working just right.

Okay I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I'm just going with what TurboXS, a turbocharged specifically based corporation is saying in their directions that came in a Tpye-S BOV package. I quote:

"Identify the connecitng pipe which runs between the turbo and the throttle body. The Blow Off Valve is to be installed to this connecting pipe

NOTE: If the vehicle is fitted with an intercooler, then install the Blow Off Valve between the intercooler and the throttle body."

Huh, weird.

Tony Lane
04-15-2006, 09:38 PM
If you really think about it, there's not much difference between the mounting points. Either way, that charged air is getting expended. As long as the BOV is mounted before the throttle body, and is allowing air to escape, it works the same way. I highly doubt there's much of a difference.

Huh, weird.

I got the same direction sheet with my TurboXS RFL BOV. There is a reason they tell you to do it that way. The valve will stay shut better (at WOT) when it's placed between the throttle body and the intercooler because of the pressure drop across the intercooler. The pipe after the intercooler will always have less pressure than the pipe before the intercooler. Since the top port will always be referenced to the intake manifold either way, the BOV won't be as likely to leak if it's installed after the intercooler because the pressure differential is lessened that way.

That being said, the RFL valve on my cars has never leaked when installed before the intercooler, even with no shims. I've used it up to 20 psi on my Shelby Lancer using the TII turbo/intercooler setup.

EDIT - This is really getting off topic, sorry guys. Let's see some more FMIC installations! If anybody wants to debate the BOV thing we can start another thread.

Does the intercooler have any tabs on it? Do you have any pictures of the intercooler by itself? Maybe you could drill a whole in the core support and hang the intercooler from it. Could you bolt a bracket to the lower core support to hold up the bottom? That's all the ideas I have.

".......surge starts at the TB when the plate shuts..........."

this is not correct.

the BOV should be installed at the point in the system with the highest pressure, which is always closest to the compressor outlet. the surge always begins at the point of highest pressure, which is the compressor outlet.

that being said, mounting the bov anywhere between the compressor, the intercooler, or the thottle body will work fine. but the best place is closest to the compressor.

I have a powerstroke Phord intercooler in my T3 Caravan R/T.
The Gen 2 minivan AC condensor goes behind it. Radiator will be 74 Dodge Dart with modified inlet and outlet.
The intercooler fits in fine with the stock inlets and outlets. Offsetting it to the right slightly allowed that to be done. I have the mandrel bent 3" aluminum tubing for the plumbing. Battery will go inside the van and is to be replaced by a Jeep Grand Cherokee airbox (even has a fresh air snorkle that works perfectly with the van). The intercooler outlet just needs a 90 degree tube and will connect right to the throttle body.
Current state is intercooler installed, plumbing plans done, all parts tubing etc and BOV waiting. Van is in NC and I am in Hong Kong. Will have to wait for another 4 months or so until I get back to finish it.

The condenser mounts on the back side of the radiator support in front of the alternator. We made brackets for the alternator that move it 3 inches closer to the block, allowing the condenser to be mounted there.

Guys I found some pics. But, How do I link the pics here from my personal gallery for all to view? I have been playing with the tabs/wraps and I can not figure it out...

Type then the url of the pic then with no spaces. To get the url of the pic right click. Now highlight the address, make sure you get all of it. Now hold Ctrl and 'C'. Now go to the place you want to put in the address and then paste it in.
This is what the following pic looks like without the spaces: http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/photopost/data/500/medium/ P3290116.JPG[/im g]

BadAssPerformance - I entered the valve cover, thanks for the heads up.

turbovanman - You aren't blind, the condenser is not in right now because I am waiting on an electric fan to come in. The condenser mounts on the back side of the radiator support in front of the alternator. We made brackets for the alternator that move it 3 inches closer to the block, allowing the condenser to be mounted there. Here's a picture looking down at the alternator, showing the bracket that holds the condenser.



Very nice, :amen:

I welded this up from ovalized 3"tubing,2.25" thick bar/plate motorcoach core that was cut down.The headlights are now missing the lower inner mounts,and the grill is only held in by the little tags that lock into the headlight surrouds.The radiator is in the stock position,as is the battery.Coolant reservoir has been removed,and a Chevy sprint res is hanging temp. off the cooling fan mount brackets.It is fed by a early style HY35 Holset,and feeds a stock stratus TB and intake.The 'cooler reaches the bottom of the bumper brackets and the hood latch almost hits the top of it.
Seems to work well from just feeling the temp change across the core and end tanks etc.

Should fit, I had 1 in the front of my OMNI. The only problem is that the stock inlet/outlet of the 944 is narrower than a T2 radiator.

supercrackerbox
08-11-2006, 01:07 PM
Well, the thought was to shove it down behind the opening in the bumper and hopefully have room to route the outlet pipe back over to the driver's side of the radiator. Of course, that would still require me to either find a narrower AC condenser and use the TII radiator, or cut a couple holes in the sheet metal right next to it. Downside of the former is I'm out of TII radiators but I have a brand new L-body radiator, downside of the latter is I think I'd have to relocate the battery.

The pipe runs beside the framerail, in the inner fender, right in front of the wheel. I didn't want to move my rad, battery, and coolant bottle, L bodies are crowded enough the way they are. The passenger side goes down where the charcoal canister was. I like the way it turned out, just took a lot of fitting.:p

Correct. Or $150 when you find one that has a small tear in it and you weld it up and call it a day!

Precisions coolers are amazing, the cores are by far some of the best compromise in flow/cooling out there in my opinion. You just need to be creative with the pipe routing.

This is the intercooler currently on the Horizon. Not exactly stealth, but it keeps cool as a cucumber in 90+degree heat. Behind it is an aluminum replacement G-body T1 radiator. The alternator bracket has been modified to fit the alternator where the A/C compressor would be, giving alot more radiator clearance, alowing me to shift the fullsize G body rad over far enough to clear the intercooler piping.

Thanks! The idler is a timing belt idler from a Neon. I machined a flat surface for it to set well on the alternator bracket, then drilled and tapped a hole for the bolt.

Thanks for the info.

Awesome work, Mike!!

Here's the F350 intercooler I bought off TheGinMill. It's a 30"x18"2.5" core. OhioRob, my friend Rick, and I installed the intercooler at Rob's house. Pretty much we just cut a huge rectangle into the front end, we just had to remove the A/C condensor and lines, radiator, and headlights. The headlights needed trimmed and modified, they're still not perfect which is why I'm not using the grill right now. Eventually, if it's not too ricey, I'll throw the grill back on over some mesh wire.

I remember hearing someone just installed washers and brought out the grill and headlight trim a half inch. I may try this as well.

Anyways here are a few pics.

To mount it we just used some scrap metal for the brackets which are bolted into the stock headlight bracket location.

I still want to fab up a bumper cover from a 2nd or 3rd gen mini van with the air dams and fog lights to flow some more air to it.

Please don't mind the crappy pipes, I threw them together to drive home. I have 2.5" aluminum pipes and t-bolts to throw on this week. I just ordered the couplers for it today.

Its just a poor design. Its a dual pass unit. Im sure for what I am doing with the car it is just fine, and I know for sure that it is doing a good job of cooling. One day I be able to afford a nicer one.

If nothing else, I'd look into having the endtank cut off and welding on more of a half-circle shaped one that will re-direct the airflow in a smoother fasion and flow better overall. The current end with its size and shape probably just kills the air flow. Other than that it doesn't look like it'd be too bad.

Thats probably not a bad idea. Although since I dont weld I would probably buy a new one before paying someone to do that sort of work. :D

This is my setup that is currently under construction. The radiator support was cut away and a removable bar (Sox & Martin style) put in its place. The end tanks had to be modified but it fits, just barely, light contact on all 4 sides. The down side is the radiator is pushed back enough where a oil filter relocation has to be used along with hood pins or a custom hood latch.

The current end with its size and shape probably just kills the air flow. Other than that it doesn't look like it'd be too bad.

Actually with that being said, i wouldnt worry about the piping as much as i would double check the bar/plate on those ebay IC's. Some of them have piss poor flow internally. Be on the lookout for that when going ebay for ur IC. Some far out boafs from who knows where is making these things cheap which is nice but the IC's are being no more efficient than a tortoise's fart. There is one company that is making mocks of some big name IC's and saying they are just as good and not showing their bar/plate. you get it and instead of nice large oval type shape its thin and square and things like that. Just givin a heads up thats all.

BTW to dusty dust, that is a good IC and proved pretty well for very decent power ranges. Many starion/conquest owners have used them for a very long time. I personally never did, either modded the stocker for mpi conversion use or on 1 of mine i had a spearco i got used for very cheap. But the fuso IC does good things for the SQ so its goin to be even better for u im sure. I am going to post up pics today sometime for my IC i added yesterday to my 89 turbo voyager. Been postin about on another thread i made and someone there told me about this thread lol so the pics will go here.

In the pic it looks close to the ground but there is 8 inches. The IC itself goes to just below the top of the bumper. Only thing im doin in a little while is using my 2" hole saw bit and making 3 holes for more air to get directed towards more of the IC. Also use the thermal wrap on the other side of the piping to match how the other side looks. Just gotta get more of it lol.

moparzrule
10-16-2008, 04:56 PM
Those rubber plumbing connectors don't handle the heat and pressure. They blow off pretty easily, also they balloon a lot and can even explode with enough pressure if you can get it to not blow off the pipe. They just aren't very strong.

Anyway, IMO you would be way better off with a stock T2 IC and larger pipes. What are those 2''?

tsiconquest88
10-16-2008, 05:20 PM
Idk of the t2 intercooler but i know from what i hear of the stock TD intercoolers and how they suck, the SQ IC's are least of our complaints for those cars and a lot of import guys use our IC's on hondas etc IMO from what i heard of the stock TD IC's, the SQ IC is far superior (also keep in mind that IC is only showing less than half of the rest of it and its just under 3 inches thick. Very efficient for stock and i definately noticed a big difference soon as i put my foot on the gas over when i didnt have the IC. So thats all I care about. Again all my goal was for the van's IC was to put an IC on with simplicity, easy install and work out and use an IC i already had and doing nothing with and make it work. You are right about the rubber connectors i used, which is why i used different ones for the turbo to IC pipe and the connection right next to the head there. The rest are the ones u speak of and i am definately changing those out once the good ones i ordered come in. I cant get that kind of stuff locally ready to go. Had to be ordered unfortunately.

moparzrule
10-16-2008, 05:47 PM
Hmm well there's plenty of guy's running 12's in the quarter with the stock T2 IC, they are fine to atleast 250 WHP. At that point your setup isn't even putting out 200.
THe largest problem with the SQ ic is that tiny 1 7/8'' inlet and outlet. The stock TD is 2.25 anyway. Although putting custom end tanks on the SQ ic would make it WAY better than the turbo dodge IC. But, IMO the IC I got from ebay kicks the pants off both of those and I paid $60 shipped for it brand new. It's 31X12X3 bar/plate style with 2.5'' in/out.

10-16-2008, 05:49 PM
How good does that flex pipe hold the pressure? I was always scared of it leaking so I never tried it, but if it seals up good, it would have to make an installation easier.
