N12 Turbo Forums

Hi guys! i have just recently got my ET running right with a new turbo and all! and before i put it all back together i was wondering if someone could send me some photos of their setup cause i have for a radiator with twin thermo fans and i was wanting to put a decent sized intercooler without chopping the body! also if you could let me know where you got your intercooler from that would be great!

Cheers

hey mate .. http://forum.n12turbo.com/viewtopic.php?t=104

that is a good help.. i used a cooler similar size and it works a great, i did not cut nothing.. my youtube video is '1985 et turbo dose'. have a listen.

You'll either have to go through the body like in ^^ that link, under the front member, or through beside the radiator (some cutting needed also).

Everyone does it differently to a degree

i went under the front cross member on both sides without cutting nothing.. ill take some photos n post them up.

Had to get another battery tray to fit the afm in. and my muzza dose pipe, u wonder y i got defected haha..









Those brackets were aluminum strips, easy to use n strong stuff..

For the size of the cooler, ppl told me i would get lag lag n more lag.. for a t25g it goes pretty hard.. video is 1985 et turbo dose on youtube. cheers.

The cooler on this one is a supra cooler, so its about the same size as the cut in the bumper.

ET87, That is one dodgy & ass looking cooler setup you have happening there

So you cut something?

Also, i would try and keep the piping from being the lowest part of the car. That's just asking for your piping to be ripped open if you bottom out on a driveway or something. Of if you're out in the middle of nowhere even worse.

You can rout the piping so it's tucked around the side of the radiator & between the head lights, That way you will have shorter piping & it looks 100% neater, That one above is just awful

haha baz it works though. i didnt wanna cut the chassis and i had to cut the battery tray still works perfectly fine.. I have the front apron/spoiler so that is the lowest point in the car..my neighbours dont appreciate the noise though, had the cops come and ask questions lucky i said it was the flutter/dose on the spot and does not need to be driven. silly cops.
