wish i took some with the bumper off. the routing is so easy.
here are the only ones i can seem to find, but i will try and take some soon.

Edit: judging from your pics you may want to offcenter the IC a little to the right like i did. that gives it some space for the piping, and the piping on one side will balance it out. for the top pipe, I used a 90 and curled it under that bar your top one is sitting on.

temp-wise I see the same range of temps on the ems with this vertical setup that i did with my large frontmount setup. the vertical setup is definately more responsive as there is less pressure drop and less piping.



here you can see both pipes kinda. the top one curls around right to the lower fender area where it shoots right to the turbo. the bottom one goes over to the fender hole and to the throttle body.


here you see the charge pipe curling around, and if you look close at the very left thats the pipe going to the fender and then to the throttle body.
its actually covered by the lower part of my bumper completely.


Please excuse the dirty engine bay, it is getting scrubbed very soon.


intercooler i used
go to ebaymotors search: same side intercooler 22x6x3
when i got it the first thing i did was cut that stupid flange off the bottom.

i used the crx racing 2.5" piping kit and cut the pieces to fit.
i got the one with 2 of every bend and the free u piece (but i didn't use the U).

thanks man, your setup was pretty nice too. i may go with drilling that hole later on.

oh an BAD954BOI, you have a horizontal intercooler. I don't see how it would work well with the same side inlet and outlet. it actually looks like you have one for a twin turbo where there are 2 outlets on both sides .
are you sure you have the right intercooler?

my Intercooler only has what is shown in the picture there are no other outlets. i was actually wondering what that extra piece is on the bottom inlet/outlet ?
also how do you know which one goes to the turbo and which one for the throttle body?

ive never seen an intercooler like that one before. whered you get it?

as for choosing hot and cold side, I searched everywhere and I found examples of both ways,
so i gathered its a whatever fits thing, in some smaller cars you can only fit the piping one way, we get to choose.
I chose to keep the hot side up top. I figured since heat rises, the coldest part would be the bottom so i want it to flow top to bottom, maybe gravity will help too (im just kidding.. well sorta).

that was pretty logical!! but on a serious note i don't even know i got it from a CL user and he doesn't even remember much about it I'm guessing a eBay intercooler but it has a brand called TOKYO RADIATOR.

you can probably make it work. i'm guessing there is an end tank on the other side connecting the top half to the bottom half.

post a pic of the whole intercooler if you can please.

the size of the piping should match the outlet of the turbo or maybe 1/2" larger.
are you single turbo or twin turbo? 2" is kind of small for the 2jz.
