---Nissan used to have a 1.8L top mounted I/C. The IC sat directly on the engine.---It's the I/C I use, I had to take it a part and rotate the tanks for it to be a FMIC... |

You mean these?
|
what engine bay is that?
|
It's a Mazda engine bay...
BTW all my stuff comes from JCWhitney...Cheapest I can find (even cheaper then crinkle bends at the local parts store--otherwise I'd use them) |

OK here's what you'll need:
You can do this without welding, but you'll need a few more hose clamps... A saw for cutting metal; sawzall, grinder w/ metal cutoff wheel, chop saw w/ metal cutting blade(their only like $5 @ HD), hacksaw if you're that cheap. From JCWhitney 3 2 1/2" 90 degee bends 1 2" 180 degree bend 2 2" 90 deg bend if you get the long 'legs' one, you'll have enough pipe 1 exhaust adaptor 2" to 2 1/4" From Autozone 2" ID 90 bend radiator hose part#002482 s-531 2" ID 90+ other bend radiator hose part#885269 m-079 The input of the saab is 2 1/4" the output is 2 1/2" Hose clamps- Ideal brand seem to work best You'll have to source up some 2 1/2" rad hose --truck suppliers, most autostores sell it by the inch(it's used for to enclose fuel filler tubes) |

thats stainless steel pipe correct
|
I just used just the cheap 16ga stuff. After I welded and cleaned the pipes w/ spirits-- I placed them in an oven @ 400 degrees for ~ 15min. Then I put the pipes on a stick in the backyard and sprayed them with engine enamel Ford red. The paint adheres to the hot pipes real nicely-- you can coat as many times as you want...
My DP is stainless... Also you'll need a 1 2 1/4" coupler (like 3" of rad hose) and tubing for you intake. IIRC I just used a 2 1/2" 180 u bend. |

Outside Diameter---That's exactly where and what I bought.
This may help you visualize a little. My list isn't exact. you'll need to add some pipe for the AIC valve and a BOV, but that only requires a 1" hole saw (a drill) some " black pipe(available @ any hardware store and some JB weld to seal it in place ;) mmm link no worky here... |

Now to make things simpler you can see why myself and a few other have chosen the intercooler I'm using:

heh heh, I cheated I wasn't using MS paint but Adobe InDesign. It just happened to be the program I had open at the time.
|
Where did you get that cooler from?
|
Lmfao tricky basterd lmfao , jp , but thats cool ...I might look that program up, It looks useful
|
It's more of a layout program (books, flyers, etc.), but shares the same tools as Adobe Illustrator; Which would have been the preferred program I would have used.
