Halo.
i might be getting a free intercooler from and old supercharged Ford car, its relatively compact in size and would fit nicely in the front. just curious if i could pipe this baby up to my. um.... "secret" mod for my car. MWahuauhah... if you haven't heard already, i'll be getting this *secret* mod just as soon as Fmax 96 (identity has been replaced to protect the innocent) sends it to me.

well. call me a monkey's uncle, fry my chicken, and buckle my shoe if this idea is even plausable!

And skimax, no more bending over infront of me when we're walking together.. its starting to scare me.

I'm pretty sure it can be done, but don't ask me how to do it

My 4DSC

Still trying to decide how i wanna do it...

La Jolla Max

I believe SteveChicagoSC has a front mounted intoercooler in his car.

I plan on getting the supercharger, so I’ve been wondering the same thing. I just don’t see how to get the piping around the radiator to go to the intercooler and back. I’ll ask my local performance shop if they have any ideas next time I go there. If anybody manages to do it, please let us know.

LOL Fmax96, haha.

A friend of mine has a 89 max with a custom Turbo on it and he has a intercooler. What he did was move his battery into the trunk and and put a real hood scoop right over where the battery use to be, next he stuck a not so large intercooler where the battery was and now the hood scoop shoots tons of cold air into the intercooler. I think it looks and works awesome. It's different too.

La Jolla Max

there was a Maxima up in Canada with a similar setup...an air to air IC located where the battery used to be.
I know it might be more complex, but why not place a Vortech air/water Aftercooler in the place of the battery? that way you can run ice water at the track

TurboMax said the Turbo Intercooler and the S/C Intercooler are a bit different.. I would check it out first..

wait you said the ford was SC.. i guess that should be fine

relocate the battery, cut out the center of the front bumper, run the throttle body side piping to the corner where the battery was, mount blow off valve(and mafs) on that side, run the piping down through the corners(both sides), and into the front bumper, the turns to the intercooler, on both sides can be located in sight through the fog light area, with out fog lights. the boost will be lower as much as 1 lb, depending on the intercooler, so then you could raise it by changing pulley size. also you can use a water cooled intercooler, mounted in the battery area. i am going to cut out my bumper, next year. the bumper is easy to cut, no metal. it cosists of plastic, foam, and hard plastic.
