i found a jdm supra intercooler that would fit, but the inlet/outlet are 1 7/8. is that too small? would that restrict performance? i understand it's coming off a SUPRA which comes factory with more hp than i'll be seeing for a long time, but everyone talks about getting 2in or 2.5in inlet/outlet sizes. just wondering if it's worth getting. thanks.

The bigger the piping, the more time it will take to pressurize that piping.

They had a series of really good articles a while back explaining turbo setups, etc... & telling you the differences between turbos & super chargers. Any way part of one of the articles was giving you the ideal IC pipe size according to HP. I did an APEXi Silva IC with 2.25" end tanks & 2.25" IC Piping. I'm thinking about later replacing it with either the APEXi GTR IC or a liquid to air IC (I'll probably stick to air-air IC due to it's lighter weight). For either of the APEXi air-air IC's you will have to cut your front bumper to make them work.<P>--------------------------<P>Jeremy Miller<BR>93 Mazda MX-3 RS-R
of course, keeping it all pressurized might be a TAD of a problem [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
