mobythevan Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I figure with the new turbo on its way I better get busy and lose that saab 9000 IC. Here are a couple pics. It doesn't set as low as you might think. It is still above the bottom of the lower radiator support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 awsome!! Can you tell a difference in the performance?? turned up the boost yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Looks like a good install to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 I hope I get a little bit of time tomorrow to drive it. I may turn boost up just a little bit more. It has to perform better than the sabb 9000 one, but it remains to see if that difference is enough to measure with g-tech or for me to tell with the butt-o-meter.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I bet you'll be able to. I switched from a cobbled together sytem to my new system and I picked almost 40hp with no adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Took it for a drive today. No doubt that it pulls harder now. Still running the same boost about 14psi. Yow, I was flipping a u to catch a type R and I didn't think I would ever get traction to take off again. Caught up and passed him, but it wasn't much fun. If he even tried to keep up I couldn't tell. Out here in the country a type R is about as good as it gets, boring. There is an old vette that sounds good but I haven't caught him when I'm in the datsun yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Nice job Moby. I used to run that same IC. Got me the 12.4. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.bryant Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 im putting a rb20det ic on a l20et soon. just waiting on getting the piing sorted out. hopefully it'll perform better than it does at the moment with no intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Looks great Moby...you routed I/C piping exactly as I did..used same 2nd gen bov ..I have a bit more room with the 83 280zxt but still tight fit...love the I/C I think the best bang for your buck until I guess when you really go very high cfm/hp (340 rwhp+). Besides the puller fan...I also installed an additional pusher fan along with an oil cooler (oil cooler installed in front pass wheelwell to avoid more obstructions before radiator) for the hot Oklahoma summers....Note I have air contitioning so cool air has to travel thru both my I/C and air cond fins before rad...Your gonna love it!

mobythevan Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Oh man my car is ugly, but it will get painted one of these days. I am just having too much fun driving it. Here is another pic from the front. I welded mounting brackets to the car for the lower IC mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
