stock side mount to front mount?

[tjg]

Ok i was wondering if this is possible one of my friends gave me the idea, He said i should take my side mount intercooler and mount it up front. Question, is this a good idea would it work any better than a side mount location let me know i'm interested.

This one dude ran 2 side mounts welded together in front. Ran 13s haha, he customed everything though!

I'm sure it would help some, but it would also look ugly as hell! There would almost be more work getting piping to fit that kind of set up compared to just getting a full fmic.

Like ^he said. You might as well just get a FMIC, i might know someone that has a JRC FMIC for cheap cause he don't care about his old car anymore.

I dont think its worth it. When its on the side it gets plenty of airflow. Putting it in the front will only be alot of work piping it and mounting it and it(as stated above)will look ugly. The sidemount is gonna stay the same size and the air flow wont be increased that much. The work/function ratio is high(alot of work with little to no function).

1. No, it will not be better.
2. 13's isnt fast. It's not even an improvement over what 1 sidemount can do.
3. I dont think it would even get more air up front.

Probably wouldn't help a ton. If you wanna go cheap, pick up a cheapo FMIC core off of ebay for $100 or whatever and run your own piping. You'll be amazed how far $200 will go!

Not far, my FMIC cost me $400 and its all custom.

You didnt do it right ;). A cheap ass ebay FMIC setup can be had for $200 or a little more if you do it carefully.

Mine was around $200. Less, but after some more T-bolts It will hit $200. Just be sure you can weld better than I can...
