No Intercooler Space

[NDR008]

Hi, I'm getting a 4E-FTE for my corolla (instead of its carbed 2E :D ), and what i was told to look out for is the space of the intercooler, the intercooler is mounted on top, and i don't want to scoop the bonet.

The stock intercooler is quite thick, so it might not fit infront, so what could i do? is there some other intercooler that might be good? or what? any ideas, please just post them.

buy a custom intercooler and get some custome pipework made up

Another option is to use a water/air intercooler setup. Could solve your fitting issues.

Use an intercooler form a Rover 220 turbo (tomcat) and sit in front of the lower part of the radiator in the big hole in the front bumper, you will need one long and one short (ish) hoses or custom fabricate the straight bits from polished stainless and join at the bends with fre-fab bends (samco or similar)

Thanks for the quick repsonse, i just wanted vague ideas for now, as soon as i get the actual engine now, i'll bug you guys more ;) (but now i am 100% that i am going for a 4E-FTE, and something will be done for the cooler for sure).
