is a top mount feasible on a 5sfte? would i be able to get a 3s intake manifold or do a crazy bend for the 5s manifold? i plan on turbo'ing the car next summer (or once the 36k warranty is up) and i wanted to stray away from the ever so common front mount.

and no i'd rather not just get a 3s. my motor has around 7k miles on it so it would be perfect to boost

Nope, it wont work.
But there are other after market water to air coolers that you COULD use to fab something up.
Look on ebay, they make a few different ones.

its common because it works better

haha i know. i just didnt want to conform to society and get a fmic haha

if you don't want an FMIC then look into a SMIC (side mount) this will probably be a very good option to keep things hidden + short IC pipe length

by driving a sweet car you giving the finger to society
don't pay taxes or something

go Water to air. gtfour cooling.

^w2a = excess weight

i guess a side mount could be an option. i had thought about it a little, not that much air would hit it seeing as how there is no direct opening well atleast on my pre-facelift

lol im just making a compromise. fmic ftw. if hes willing to sacrifice performance for his pride than i'm sure he wont mind extra weight

eeeh shes on weight watchers so that'd be a no no 2500lb and dropping!

if you have a PRE-facelift bumper you can always run a ~3" flexible duct from the center to the SMIC (though its more work)

I'd just upgrade to the 96+ bumper its sexier anyways

Get a front mount. Paint it black.
Id rather be totally unoriginal, then heatsoaked from a tiny, inefficient, side mount.

Your already dodging societies attempts of enculturation by driving a Celica. The American muscle subculture wont acknowledge you, the Euro-Träger subculture will largely look down on you, and most of the Japanese import subculture will simply be confused on why your modifying a Celica rather then a Supra, MR2 or older Corolla.

The only culturally accepted aspect of the Celica is that a majority of females tend to think the Celica is "cute" (though not as cute as a mini or Beetle).

With all that said, follow Lago's advice: Form Follows Function.
