lol, how did you find that? Thanks so much! :D

[Z28pr0jekt]

haha just googled the name of the injection system

[22lambo]

:P Why didn't I think of that? haha. I got it for $160 brand new. Is that a good deal?

[Z28pr0jekt]

well according to the link you gave it retails for over 500$ so i'd assume so. Just so you know though, if you HAVE to use injection for your car to run safe, it is only a crutch and shouldn't be relied on for a permanent solution.

[22lambo]

Well I have been running the car without it for more that a year now and I don't know if I have to have it in order to run. We just bought it because there is no cooling of the air for the SC at all so and it's hot so we want to cool it down.

[Z28pr0jekt]

Ah you could always invest in an aftercooler, or fab up a front mount intercooler

[22lambo]

Ya but not ready to fork over $2000.

[Z28pr0jekt]

You can get an ebay front mount plus universal piping for muchhhhh less than 2000. An dont be too afraid of an ebay front mount... for the most part they are going to flow just as well.. Unless you're in the 1000+whp area, you aren't going to lose much as opposed to paying 600$ for an intercooler.

From there it is all in mounting and putting the piping together how you need it.

[Z28pr0jekt]

If you can fabricate yourself, using the ebay stuff, you can probably do a front mount for under 4-500$. If someone else does the mounting and fabbing for you $600 should still cover it.

What would the front mount hook up to? Kinda confused because doing it shouldn't be to hard but finding the right parts will be. How crucial is it to have the air cooled?

Having the air cooled on a forced induction car is VERY important because hot air can equal retarded timing.

The piping that comes off the blower going into the throttle body would instead first go into one side of the intercooler, and the exit of the intercooler would have piping connecting that to the throttle body

This is a turbo setup but it is the same concept

[22lambo]

Oh ok. So what would be the front clip? The intercooler or something? Also where would put that because I dont have that much room.

[Z28pr0jekt]

Usually for front mounts you have to take off the bumper cover and remove the crash supports behind the front clip.

When that is done, there is a lot more room up there, plus there are different sized intercoolers you can get. You will definitely have room to put the front clip back on but you may need to trim it in some places.

There are a handful of guys on here both sc and tc with front mounts

So a front mount is just the front bumper with a intercooler made to fit behind it? Is there a pic you could show just to clear up my confusion. Sorry about all the hassle, I just don't want to f this up.

Yes

Go into the thread I posted just above this post of yours there are a few pics.

Oh, ok. So what about the radiator? Does it stay there and does it get enough cooling?

You can stand the radiator vertical if you need the room, but if you leave it where it is, the stock air dam still gathers air and brings it into the radiator

[22lambo]

The air dam is that plastic flap on the bottom of the car, right?

[Z28pr0jekt]

yes

[22lambo]

Gotcha. ;) Now I need to get my dad to do this and we should be all set. So with the intercooler and WIS, it should be running even colder, right? Thanks for help. You answered all my questions and helped me alot.

[Z28pr0jekt]

yes that will cool it down

[22lambo]

Awesome. Thanks!
