To fit mine and cut pipes start to finish was about 3 hours by myself. Take your time with pipes  :happy2:

Thanks Dan. Any idea how to mount the horns without the relocation brackets? :(

It's only a little L shaped bracket so you might be able to fashion one up. Ill see if I've got a pic dude. What colour pipes you got?

Just looked and the passenger horn attaches to bracket already there and drivers side using a straight metal bracket. Got a pic of both. Ill post them in here for you when I get a min  :happy2:

Put a little bit of effort into cleaning up the 2nd hand twintercooler.

I never realised what a pain aluminium is to work with!!!

I ended up polishing back the end tanks and top as best I could by hand with brasso and autosol. For the core, I removed as much tarnish as possible, masked off the shiny bits and sprayed with high temp silver paint.

Could be better. Could be worse.  :grin:









final results tomorrow when the paint dries then fitting time :pomppomp: :pomppomp:

 :ashamed: don't worry Richardo, I have read one thread on a supra forum done extensive research into this.

It really is just a thin layer on the front core. I can't see it being a problem, especially with me using BHP paint! It should give me 100 boost powers for the wet bitches.

Not a problem, We painted the intercooler matt black before I fitted it on my Saab 9-3 Aero project last year.

IAT's where never and issue even after several WOT runs when we where live road mapping the car, Typically on a 10 Degree day the IAT's after the intercooler never went above 18 Degree's :)

It was a 600mm x 300mm x 75mm core I might add!

Cheers

The problem with the Twintercooler is the stone chips.  :wink:
