need a few bits of advice

[Oscar]

it was a small split in the rad causing an air lock, this then split even more, causing it to spit several litres on the flour lol, sorted now tho, its just getting on my nerves, want a new exhaust after the last back box burnt my bumper,
were vis the starter motor on these?

[Oscar]

wen i switch to fmic, wat do i do with the breather that comes out of te throttle body?

[PukkaSilvia]

the starter motor is drivers side underneath the inlet manifold. its only two bolts holding it on and can be removed from above or below the car,whatever you find easiest.

im gonna get a small intercooler and cut the bonnet and have it as a sort of top mount, cheers, gonna check the starter 2mororw

[PukkaSilvia]

Top mounts are not the best idea as they get heat soaked and are not very efficient, but its still better than not having one at all. maybe have a look into nissan pulsar original intercoolers . I take it you have seen silviagods intercooler on his website?


If i were you i would try and do a front mount setup or maybe even reasearch into doing a topmount chargecooler

[Oscar]

dont worry, now you have an s12 you will be a full blown mechanic before you know it


A front mount setup is easier than you might think. take your time and get parts together in advance and plan well ahead. you cant go far wrong, your best bet is a saab or volvo front mounted intercooler and an electric fan. There maybe something in how to section about it. If not people here will help you

i would continue to use this with the fmic. you can undo the screws around that pipe,they hold a clamping plate. you can then rotate it to suit an angle for your new pipework.............. Its been a long time since ive seen an et inlet manifold so if i have got this bit wrong,somebody slap me with a trout
