Where are the other forced induction kits mounting their intercoolers? I'm trying to find the best spot but blocking the radiator isn't the most appealing idea to me, anyone have any other suggestions? Comments?

Even if you do decide to mount the intercooler in front of the radiator, it wont make a real big difference. Front mount intercoolers have really bid air passages between the fins so air can flow efficiently through the intercooler to the radiator. But in my opinion the fenderwell is the best, thats what im gonna do.New Car--- 2000 Trans Am M6--SLP Lid, K7N Filter, 160 degree Thermostat, Loudmouth Exhaust, Smooth bellows, MAF ends, ASP Pulley, 4.10 gears, Y2K Chrome Vette Wheels, 2\" drop..

wouldnt they get muddy and clogged in the fenderwells?Comment

what about a top mount intercooler. Say if you had an ss hood.Comment

Top mount isnt efficient enough to cool a twin turbo application, and if the kit were to hit the market, it wouldnt be universal.

an intercooler will get some debris on it, pretty much no matter where it is mounted. Whether it be Front mount or fenderwell, it will get diry.2011 Camaro LS 6M, in black.Comment

front--small intercooler
i'd say right in front of the fans. it would be tight, but that would be my choice more than likely.2000 NBM M6 Camaro Z28<br />323/335Comment

Yeah I talked to some LS1 turbo guys about it a bit and figured out what I'm going to do, I'll mock up some diagrams later.
What I was HOPING for was to purchase two OEM takeoff Talon/Eclipse turbo intercoolers, weld them together, and basically have a single, dual opposite side inlet, top outlet front mount intercooler. Yeah, that's confusing, here look at this.

IMO that would be the best design ^ too bad it won't fit on my application, I went out with a ruler and found that I won't have nearly enough clearance for top outlet because of the stock radiator, ect.
Next idea is to Y them together pre-intercooler and run it in the passenger end and out the drivers end then around the radiator and up..suggestions? I really don't want to mess with dual intercoolers on opposite sides of the car because I know that plumbing is already going to be a ***** and I will be doing all/most the work myself.AIM: escalier deverre<br />\'02 Pearl Blue Metallic RSX-S (daily driver)<br />\'98 Black Firebird<br />98 V6 turbocharged to 02 LS1 swap<br />\'02 LS1/4L60E<br />LS6 Block, LS6 Intake Manifold, Thunder Racing 215/220 .600/.523/115 Cam, Titanium Retainers, Crane Double Valve Springs, 125 shot NX Wet Kit w/ NOS brand Purge, True Dual \"H\" Pipe w/ two chambers and dumps, 17x11(rear) and 17x9.5(front) Black Powdercoated ZR1 Replicas on 315 and 275 BFGoodrich Comp T/A\'s (Street)/ET Drags/Skinnies on Weldlites(Track), 3.42/LSDComment

It looks like a good idea, but the problem is that you can only get the DSM intercooler in 1 way. Your photoshop looks good, but how are youn going to reverse the talon intercooler in real life? They only have 1 intercooler. I have a set of 3000GT VR4 intercoolers if you want I can sell them to you. There is plenty of pipe to cut and weld on them, and they are a good size for a twin turbo because they came off of a twin turbo. Let me know we can work a deal.New Car--- 2000 Trans Am M6--SLP Lid, K7N Filter, 160 degree Thermostat, Loudmouth Exhaust, Smooth bellows, MAF ends, ASP Pulley, 4.10 gears, Y2K Chrome Vette Wheels, 2\" drop..

Pics please- and check your AIM, I sent you a message earlier regarding your manifolds.
Intercooler's- to my knowledge, are reversible- are they not?
My plan is to cut out the front license plate support and then hack into the bumper support, and place the IC right there, similar to this design: http://www.turbo-ws6.com/car9.jpg

Also, what are you doing about timing advance? I'd assume you need to be running 93 octane.AIM: escalier deverre<br />\'02 Pearl Blue Metallic RSX-S (daily driver)<br />\'98 Black Firebird<br />98 V6 turbocharged to 02 LS1 swap<br />\'02 LS1/4L60E<br />LS6 Block, LS6 Intake Manifold, Thunder Racing 215/220 .600/.523/115 Cam, Titanium Retainers, Crane Double Valve Springs, 125 shot NX Wet Kit w/ NOS brand Purge, True Dual \"H\" Pipe w/ two chambers and dumps, 17x11(rear) and 17x9.5(front) Black Powdercoated ZR1 Replicas on 315 and 275 BFGoodrich Comp T/A\'s (Street)/ET Drags/Skinnies on Weldlites(Track), 3.42/LSDComment

I always run 93, and I have MSD DIS4 which retards the timing at the RPM I set it to, and I am going to buy the boost retard addon to the MSD which retards the ignition as the boost pressure increases. About your manifolds, you have cast iron manifolds, and modifying them isnt easy and safe. It is hard to weld cast to steel, and even if you do, it has a very high chance that it will crack from the heat stress once they are back on the car.New Car--- 2000 Trans Am M6--SLP Lid, K7N Filter, 160 degree Thermostat, Loudmouth Exhaust, Smooth bellows, MAF ends, ASP Pulley, 4.10 gears, Y2K Chrome Vette Wheels, 2\" drop..
