Hey no problem Jay... always willing to help out

I do have some pics from when we were first mocking in the intercooler, but that was without the piping run to the inlet and outlet. If you can tell me specifically what you're looking for, I can describe it for you as well as probably get a pic or two.

I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of how you mounted it to the car.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you and Felix sooner. I have some pics on the camera that I think will let you see the mount, but right now I'm gonna have to remake the driver's side mount as I had to remove the plastic piece that holds up the lower radiator hose and now the hose is hanging down below the front bumper cover. It's not really hurting anything... but I just don't really like it all too well

If you guys are thinking about using this intercooler as well, it would be advisable to remake the lower part of the shroud (that pulls the incoming air in to cool the IC) as even on a stock ride-height car the bottom of the shroud was about 3" above the ground I'll get pics of the mounts and the shroud as soon as I can.

Hey, would you be willing to fab the pipes and brackets and sell it to me?

I put my Spearco on a couple of weeks ago and had only two issues. One is ground clearance with the scoop installed. Maybe not a problem for a stock ride height but a lowered car...for get about it. I ended up cutting off the bottom 2 inches and then putting a rubber dam cut from a Pontiac and screwed on. Works great!! Also, the bottom bracket wouldn't slide over the power steering bolt and the horizontal bracket needed to have the hole slotted to fit. Of course, that may have been because I tweaked the brackets pretty good trying to leave Taco Bell!!

I bought mine with some huge Ron Davis front mounted intercooler. I'll have pics soon.

I had

I had a front mount two core intercooler and was real proud of the work till i showed it to ken duttwieler he said"it looked good but won't start cooling the air till you hit 60 mph,If I were you I'd mount it here with a eng fan from a vw rabbit on it" so with head in hand went back to the drawing board,
turns out it would fit sideways right were the stock air box was.the intercooler I had bought in 88 had the inlet and out let on the same side so the tubing run was pretty short plus with a fan on one side and 4inch flex pipe routing air from in front of raider with an elbow for a dryer ext vent. cant belive I paid $1000. for it back then I bought it from a place that I saw in TURBO mag.they went out of bissness soon after think it was called pacific somthing in long beach ca Ill look for photos see if I can find them

ps I'm just sharing what I did please dont nail me

Thought I'd post this link I found on another site comparing flow rates of different junkyard intercoolers.

Well, it seems that no one else has my intercooler, but here's a pic. It's the one from Motion Dynamics. Any thoughts?

Not to mention the double fans are mounted to it.

that is a nice setup, but for $2000.00 +............

Funny thing. I bought the car with that setup. Only paid $2,250 for the car.

So, I bought the intercooler, and the SVO came with it.
