I was trying to mount my sr side mount intercooler on my car, (going to be ka turbo) but i could not figure it out, am i suppost to mount it to the bracket that used to have the stock air silencer? and on the otehr side will I have to make brackets? it seems so easy but it was pretty confusing, I also searched every were on how to install it, but no one shows any pics of the brackets mounted to the car and every one says it will bolt rite up, but i dont see how that is possible with out making brackets for the chassie side of the intercooler, there is nothing for it to bolt up to any one have any pics?

the brakcets fit to holes already on the chassis
mine bolted right up, s14 car w/ s14 sr

should bolt up. make sure your SMIC has all the general bracketry.

my side mount has both brakets on both sides, its just on the fender side, it wil line up with the air silencer mounts, but on the chassie side the bracket holes are facing forward, not sideways so theres nothing to connect it to. this is an s13 side mount btw. also I cut a huge hole way bigger than the outlined hole for the pipes to go threw, but when i mount the intercooler on just the air silencer brackets, the pipes barly fit therw the hole that i made, and the recirculation pipe is no were close even fitting, and this hole is atleast 1 and a half to 2 inchis bigger all the way around the outlined hole

you might hve to cut some stuff out using a hole saw or a plasma cutter
custom work it then. thats all you can do
fab up something using home depot parts or weld something to hold it.

it relaly should botl riht up no problem on s13 or s14 w/ the right smic
but since your kat fabbing should be your game.

but the smic itself should mount the car no problem. done it a few times on friend cars w/ srs
