Back when I was growing up there was no ebay.

Perfect setup for your power goal, I think.

What do you guys think about this set up. I am only hoping to make around 210 with a T28. 27" Turbo Intercooler+2.5" Piping Kit B/R MIATA PROTEGE : eBay Motors (item 280474281407 end time Apr-04-10 20:28:12 PDT)

27" may be a lil to big! hell the big intercooler that FM sells is a 19" and requires modification to the AC lines to fit it in a NA!

Looks good to me! I like the hanger bracket approach for the upper mounts. Nice work man.

You have/will have a brace that holds the bottom of the IC right? Not so much to support its weight, but just to stabilize it.

Budget racer, I'm looking for an update and your observations. How are you liking the performance of the JDM cooler? What kind of pressure drop and other observations (IAT's) can you share? I am in the market and its down to this intercooler and the identical cxracing one.

i made huge progress this past weekend. i hope to have it back on the road as early as this saturday. just need to:
- bleed & adjust brakes
- reinstall my free replacement LC-1
- install my 3" turbo back exhaust
- reintall front bumper

once all of the kinks are worked out.....install my strut tower bar, add some ducting, and toss in my cleaned RX8 injectors. then the boost gets turned up. hoping for an easy 200whp with full boost coming on super early. fingers crossed!

Nice job. But I'm not fully convinced that OTR is any easier than the typical ATR.

One suggestion, create a blockoff plate to keep all the air going through the radiator. as it is now, easiest route for air is over and around the radiator vs. through.

you mean "OVER the radiator"?

Um no... what about my original post didn't make sense? As it sits now... the radiator will get very poor through flow due to the lack of blockoff/ducting at the top and sides of it.
