lol, yeah bro. ic doesn't determine power. lol
find a t88 supra making like 6-700 and put that intercooler on and it will still make 6-700.
as for the S,
the intercoolers point is to keep intake temps down right? well the ic works along side the turbo, so the turbo needs to be appropriately sized for the hp as well. since the efficiency of the island that the hp falls into will determine how much intercooling is needed to fight high intake temps and detonation.
he could have a tiny 14b mitsu turbo on there and need a giant intercooler for 300whp. or, he could have a t70 running 12-14 psi and hardly even need the ic at all for 420whp.
his setup seems to match well.
as for cutting the crossmember:
i cut mine 100% out and made a new removable one out of 1&3/4" stainless square-stock with gussets and 1/4" thick end-plates and mounted it to the body by using 8(4 on each side) 5/16" grade 12.9 bolts that went through the frame rail and were completed with self locking nuts in the wheel well. that way i could pull the motor and trans together out of the hood in one step for doing work. mine will clear any turbo setup avail probably.
OP- look into having a custom CM made. cutting the oem one and just rolling with it isnt the best idea out there.

hey whats up man.. im going to fab up some type of support for the front end not sure how and where yet... and yes the fuse box is going to replaces the battery's location and im goint to relocate the battery in the trunk
If you just rotate the fuse box, make sure to build a nice heat shield in between that and the runners of the manifold. Might want to vent the hood in the rear also. (It's a huge debate if it actually helps or hurts the cooling, Although I didn't notice any negative cooling effects from venting the hood, if you create too high of a pressure in the engine bay then air won't flow through the radiator, well flow through efficiently, so idk lol)
anyway, it might be tough to get a sturdy cross member in there, but I'd at least do something and not just leave it the way it is.
and yeah, one of those tires is on backwards. they should be marked inside outside.

Looks like Azenis 615's and it looks like they aren't mounting correctly (right to left) since they have an asymmetrical pattern.
I'm interested to see how this turns out. Keep us posted!

okay so i mounted the all the oil lines(feed lines and draind lines) installed the new tapped oil pan, and had some crazyy down pipe made to fit over the motor mount dude to the turbo sitting so low into the car.. i ll have pics up later on in the week.. everything is coming along slowly due to the fact that i could only work on my car on sundays, i full time at a bank and im also a full time student in school
