I'm putting a small NPR in my Omni and want to get some ideas for intercooler pipe routing. I remember seeing a big NPR in Saw Wave Analogs Omni, and he did a great job of routing the pipe.

Does anyone have pics of this or a similar style setup?

Lots changed since then, the car has a TIII mockup in it now and I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the NPR setup. Should be running next spring.

Awesome, I totally forgot that you were running this setup. Coincidentally, you were the one I was thinking of, just got the name wrong.

Did you have to cut anything to make this fit? I'm guessing the small NPR is the same width as the large, it's just not as tall.

I have the small radiator from the rad/ic set up, and I think it will fit in between the inlet/outlet pipes.

glhs441 has that on his car, but he has a TIII engine in his 86 GLHS. Cool setup, but I don't have any good pictures of the IC plumbing. If I can get out to his house ever, I will take some pics.

I didn't have to cut my car at all to get it in there, and it's the larger NPR with 2.75" I/O. I did have to cut the lower mounting pegs off the NPR so I could push it forward so it sits right where the A/C condenser was. No issues with the hood latch. The stock battery had to be relocated to the passenger side. I'm using a stock GLH radiator, relocated about 3" to the passenger side and about an 1" closer to the motor. It fits perfectly between the NPR I/O. This required a low profile electric fan and a sheetmetal fan shroud to be made up. I had to use the smallest alternator, the 90 amp Nippondenso unit as the clearance to the intercooler end tank was pretty tight. I got all the parts to make the intercooler and intake plumbing from ATP Turbo.
