any of you guys have pictures of the intercooler mounted. Im having trouble mounting my intercooler..........
by the way if you remove your engine please check the rack and pinion becouse its a bitch to replace with the engine in........

Is this a stock intercooler for the 3sgte??
If not give a detail. I'm trying to find a good way to mount
a 3sgte intercooler(stock) into my 5sfe engine bay..

where did you get the piping and intercooler kit. i have a 88 gts with a 96 3sgte swap and i need piping for a front mount.

I bought a kit off ebay. It came with 6 J bends and 6 cuplers for 180 CDN to my door. You have to custom cut each of the bends to fit your set up. I went with 2.5" piping but needed to do a bit of custom work to have everything fit. I believe most go with 2" piping

The intercooler was purchased seperately at DKN7(darknights nationals) in Toronto.
