Is there a strut bar made for the B14 that will work with a top mount BB IC? It looks like if the bar was bent just the right way that there would enough room for it to work. Thanks Gang! :D

I highly recommend front mounting that. I'm going to front mount mine as soon as possible.

FSTB and top mount will not work.

just front mount the thing. it cost me 50 bucks from JCwhitney, and i will have plenty left over. i also bought the Forge motorsports 24" intercooler that greg set up.

remember, heat and detonation go hand in hand. and heat rises.

Steve:

I did have it front mounted but I had vacuum issues that I needed to find and the couplers were the problem!

Do you have the part numbers and QTY that you used for your piping? If you prefer to send it via email, please do!

How did you have problems with the couplers? Also, did you ever find out why you were hitting a wall at 5000 rpms?

qty:

4 of part # 81ZX3012U

1 of part # 21ZX3251A

part # 21ZX3251A may not be necesary, but you can never be too sure. terrin, you can use whatever is left over from this, as i am sure there will be plenty.

when making your I/C piping, make sure ALL welds have NO pinholes, this can cause a leak in boost. as can using nothing but hose clamps to connect the segments. limit hose clamps to connecting only straight sections of tubing, NO use of hose clamps for corners, they will NOT seal properly.

thanks you and have a nice day! :D

oh, and i am gonna use the hose clamps from Home Depot, your local high performance auto center, for connections, these are rated for home plumbing, which can be much higher than a T25 will EVER boost, and can handle the high temps too. how much are they each terrin?
