Proper intercooler size
 

Okay first If there are links out please send me a link I already tried searching and didn't come up with the answer I was looking for. I have a 2000 NB I will be turbocharging here soon and I am in the process of buying the intercooler. I am hoping the make 200-215ish using a SR20 T28 journal bearing turbo. My question is does any one have suggestion on a good intercooler size to run. I will more than likely be running a ebay intercooler so it won't be anything expensive. Any help would be appreciated.

Ebay mother fucker! But you live in japon, don't they have intercoolers laying on the street everywhere?

Run something under 20 inches.

you want something between 18-24" core, most likely 3" thick, and at least 6" tall.

buy mine:)

Its kinda tight on an NB, especially if you have AC.
Im running a 12 inch x 16 inch, with over the radiator charge pipes.

^rofl

Are there any advantages to running a over the radiator charge pipe. Also will it affect my cooling temp at all. I am not just asking question for the hell of it I am ready to buy now I just need to make sure I buy the right intercooler the first time.

Yes there are a million intercoolers laying around in the junkyard but most of them are beat to shit. I was going to use the stock intercooler from my GTR but I think it to big for this set up.

proper ducting on the front of the FMIC will make it significantly more efficient.
