Does anyone have any pictures of a Starion IC mounted to a B13? I am planning on removing my bumper this weekend and sizing up how much trimming and re-routing needs to be done. I would be interested to see anyone else's handiwork.
thanks

On my car, with a starion intercooler, I took the intercooler to a welders shop to but the inlet and outlet pipe on both ends of the endtanks. As they are on the starion, it wouldn't fit at all on my nx2000.

This is the first thing I would do if I were you.

yep, I already have the starion IC and I have removed my bumper and bumper cover and sized it up... I was debating on whether or no to keep the aluminum crossover tube or cut it off and reroute it. I have a plumbing plan but I was looking for some other peoples routing examples with the starion IC for inspiration. either way the IC is going to need some cutting and welding. I am fabrication the intake plumbing from 2" and 2.5" mandrel bent tubing.

Starion intercoolers are great, but did you presure test it yet? About 3 years ago my brother and I found a few conquests in a yard in Milwaukee, we got them for $20 each (owner insisted they were radiators and radiators are $20 no negotiations) :D
But 2 of the 4 leaked, we fixed 1 with JB Weld, but the other was unfixable

I checked the IC by hose clamping an inner tube across both ends of the IC and using the schrader valve and a bike pump to pressurize it. I put 20 pounds in it and dunked it in a bucket of water... no leaks.

Thanks.

8 1/4 X 3 X 22(tank end to end) , this is a Conqest 16 row IIRC there is also a 14 row, don't know if it measures the same. I had picks of mine front mounted , but Wal-green's decided to expose my film. Dave_f do you have a B-13 Sentra or NX trying to figure out what you mean by crossover tube? If you mean the tubes on the Intercooler, do yourself a favor and cut them both off. They measure 1 3/4, I had 2.25 aluminum tube welded into the ends , similar to what NX-DET showed you. I try to hunt down a D-camera and snap some pics of mine.

yeah I figured the stock tubes need to go, but I still might route the passenger side tube up and over the IC. Here is a pic of the preliminary fitment.
