Roots, can i ask why you are proposing an intercooler which is 180mm thick?

Alot of aftermarket setups use 76 - 100mm thick intercoolers. Having an intercooler this offers no advantage over a thinner one as the atmospheric air does not sufficiently cool the rear of the intercooler.

Also are you running a factory turbo? This seems oversized for use with a standard T28.

I know this doesnt answer your question but this is another element which you need to consider. Dont just buy a second hand intercooler setup which is wrong for your car to save $200

180mm thick? :)

I dare say the core dimensions you posted are incorrect.

There are several off the shelf kits available from traders on this forum, the majority of which use a core size around 600 x 300 x 76mm, with 2.5 inch piping, which is the standard piping size used on an RB20 or RB25.

roots-james - please ensure you do PROPER investigation before buying parts

Also before starting threads, a quick search and so on.

Logic never hurts either - an 18 centimeter cooler is a little ridiculous when you get a ruler out

Hahaha 180cm!

Why don't you get yourself a mini bar fridge and pop a hose in either end of it. Perfect front mount, may have issue with closing the bonnet though...

Me thinks the measurements are incorrect.

Ahhh mate, i tried mounting 1 on top of my bonnet. Only issue was that it drew too much currect from my Flux Capacitor. :D

      Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?

      It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time

      It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
