intercooler placement with half size radiator
My friend is doing an engine swap in his Integra and in the process, he's giving me his half-size, dual core Koyo radiator.
I now have a few choices on intercooler placement. I bought a greddy kit with a starion intercooler from Ben and it has the piping that goes down the backside of the radiator and around the radiator to connect to the intercooler. If I get rid of my full size radiator (and AC heat exchanger), I'll be able to have a better path for the piping.
Another option (would cost a little more) would be to put the radiator and an upgraded WRX intercooler side-by-side in the engine bay and have REALLY short intercooler piping.
I think either way will cool the charge well and still allow the stock cooling system to do its job. Also, what would be the best way to get or fab-up hoses that would connect the new radiator up to the engine?
Thanks for the help
