Intercooler Options

[zsn0w]

I'm rebuilding a 1g 7 bolt to swap into a '74 Colt. I'm running into problems deciding which intercooler setup is best for me. I don't plan on ever going over 300 HP or so, and more realistically, I'm thinking around 250 is where I want to end up. After reading about pressure drop from FMIC setups on lower boost/smaller turbos (I'm going to be using a 14b, probably around 15 PSI), I decided to drop the idea of getting a larger front mount like a Mishimoto. Are there any smaller front mounts that I'd be able to use that would work well for this, or a good side mount? I don't think a supra side mount would be good for this (or within my budget), but correct me if I'm wrong. I'd rather go with a small FMIC than a side mount due to the mounting location options in the Colt, but I haven't seen any of the size that I'd need to avoid pressure drop, so if I have to go with a side mount, I can make it work. Thanks!

I went with this kit http://www.punishment-racing.com/punishment-racing-fmic-kit-1990-94-eclipse-talon/ on my 89 colt build. the short route piping made the install easier since were lacking the side mount intercooler. Go check out 4g61t.org as well. a lot of useful information on that forum to get you going.
