I'm preparing to install an intercooler on my car and would like to know from those of you who've done it, where did you relocate the windshield washer and coolant reservoirs to run the piping from the intercooler.

It would be great if any of you could e-mail me some pics of your install. I bought the kit from ilumo for those of you who were wondering. I just pm'd him to see if he could help me out on this as well. And also I know about the whole intercooler/SC thing. I don't want that to be discussed here.

I just want to know where to relocate them to.

pics of the kit can be found here.

on this one pic you can see the coolant reservoir, but it looks like it's just laying there.

here are some more pics.

You wont be able to run Washer Fluid any more witch for some is not a big deal but some people need it...even with a cold air system for the s/c you need to rip it out...
As for the coolant overflow, youll need to find a spot for that somewhere up towards the engine...I saw someone with intercooler piping mount it along the drivers side inner wheel well

did you buy his Kit, or just the intercooler ??

I kept my washer bottle with a CAI nad did a write-up on it. So it can be done.

Yea very good write up...the piping that I have for the Cold air puts the filter right where the Bottle is located. That rubber elbow you have, I actually have two of them....I guess for argument sake I may do it the way you have it jsut so I can have the washer still ....very nice

Yeah, it was ilumo's kit. I bought the entire kit off him a couple of weeks ago. Right now, I'm just going to mount the intercooler and run the piping before I get the bodykit painted. I probably won't be putting the supercharger on until later on in the summer.

LatinMax, I'll try that, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it or not because I have an intercooler, not a CAI. If need be, I'll just remove it all together like matty said.

Thanks for the tips, and again if anyone has any pics of their intercooler install please e-mail me some of the pics. My e-mail is wytnite@comcast.net

Thanks again everyone,

I should be done with my intercooler install in about 2 weeks (with a SC) and then I will post pics. Good luck if you beat me to it.

That would be helpful, looking forward to you're pics. I actually have mine ripped apart right now, I'm working on it slowly as I have time. I'm hoping to have it installed by the end of next week.

Mine is taken apart also. I am waiting for my custom tranny to come back, then install the tranny.
Then the SC...again,
Then the intercooler so that I can modifie my custom bumper arount the IC.

I have a little bit of work to do

But it will be well worth it.

Good luck
