A2A Intercooler fit for '15+ Nismos?

bcfromfl · 02-16-2018, 08:17 PM

I just crawled around in front of the bumper with a flashlight and a tape measure, and I think I can make this intercooler fit if placed to the left (facing front) of the tow hook: https://www.z1motorsports.com/interc...ic-p-4471.html I don't know where the mounting points are on the intercooler (hopefully on the edge of the frame), but probably I'd have to tap threads into the back of the crash bar. I'd have to make a bracket for the underside, too, of course, but the unknown is how to fit the BOV. Maybe a curved 180 pipe and place it behind?

Is there a rule of thumb with respect to how many inches long a piece of silicone pipe can handle, say, 9psi? There are custom mandrel-bent pipes, too, and if they're the right length, maybe I can get away with rubber/silicone collars to join them.

More of a project than I really want to tackle, but I'll give it a lot of thought, and maybe others can chime in with ideas? Thanks!
