I need some intercoolers and I was thinking of making some since I have access to cores and my friend welds alluminum awsome. Well I was thinking of some over sized front mount and well after looking at some aplications I found that there are 2 questions I wanted to ask you all and get some better advice since I am not the smartest thing since the invention of the wheel. First and foremost. When nissan designed the Z32 they designed it when 1 turbo goes out the other will also. Since the air traveling through the upper intake manifold creates an X like pattern. The intake side of the left turbo is actually pushing the exhaust side of the right turbo. IOW... the air traveling through the left side of the head goes through the exhaust (turbine) side of the turbo then propells the compresser side of the turbo (intake) and travels through the pipes and then to the IC then through the throttle body then through the manifold which does the X thing and goes through the other head and vice versa. So when one turbo goes the other won't perform like it should since they feed off each other. Well presenting the front mount will switch the air to where there is no switch from the air traveling side to side. Well it will Switch from the left side to the right side twice cancelling each other out. Point being if one of the turbo goes the other is still trying to go on. What happens to the engine????? Also another thing with the front mount IC... In all the applications they appear to be stacked. So I was thinking that the hot air traveling in on eachside will touch the cool air traveling out. Does this hinder the efficiency of the cooling power by the IC or is there not enough difference to effect it at all? Any insight would help a great deal. Also I might be digging into things that my simple mind shouldn't be digging into. thanks
