hey guys, when you get a det, it comes with a tmic right? but if i have heard correctly this wont fit under our hoods w/out some hood customizing, so what do you guys do to get around this?? is it safe to run withouth an intercooler, and just have a pipe instead?? or did you already have a fmic or side i/c ready to install?

btw i have a 93 sentra

the BB IC will fit the GTi-R won't

Do a search and you will find the light.

ahhh, so i just need to make sure and get bb det, mainly b/c i cant afford for an aftermarket i/c kit for a gti-r when i get the engine. but how safe is it? i hear that with the stock tmic, it gets overheated sometimes.

The intercooler gets overheated like crazy. It burnt the crap outtah my hand in the summer, this is w/o a hood scoop of course but the car never overheated and ran fine. The gti-r intercooler fits too but you have to cut the webbing under the hood and get washers to raise the hood a little.

just do a fmic and solve all the problems at once.
