So i just got back from the junkyard, picked up a front lip (off of a 10th anniversary) and got me the starting parts for my boost project, the manifold, injectors, bov, and some intercooler piping(all from a 1g dsm) Now i wondering about the dsm intercooler i know its small and not too good at cooling, I was thinking if you hook up 2 of them in sequence one in each fender if it would work better or if it would even be worth, I'm trying to stay away from a fmic because i don't want to hack up the bumper.

I actually thought about doing that myself... however, it's going to be a lot of complicated piping (which will be a bitch to route), and it will very likely cost you quite a bit of power forcing the air through all that piping, as well as 2 intercoolers. It's worth a shot, but it may not do very much. I'd be interested to see it done, though!

Wouldnt be too complicated on the piping it would be done the same was as if u were running the piping to the fmic, and i belive it would be about the same about of travel, I think the hardest thing to do if done is to build some channels that will dirrect the air to the coolers, I think im going to try it out, my junkyard prices are cheap, I paid $25 for all i got today,Comment

Intercooler's are cheap enough to buy new nowadays.
I imagine the flow/pressure loss using 2 of the small dsm coolers will be quite substantial.
If you can try find an Evo intercooler at the junkyard you would be better using that.

No Evos will be found at junkyards here... we didn't get them until the Evo8, and those suckers still sell for $10,000+ used! The wrecked ones go to the big yards... the "recyclers", that dismantle the cars and catalog the parts... and charge a substantial amount for them. There may be evo intercoolers in tuner cars, though. Still, they'd be front mounts, right? That's taking things in a different direction.
Of course, if we're talking cheap front mounts... Any car that came stock with a front mount (like the SRT-4) will often be upgraded, and the fmic will be sold. Ebay, forums, etc... will be good for those. Also, a Mitsubishi Fuso intercooler works pretty well. Small, but easy enough to come by.

ya same here no evos and the junk yards here, if i can find a fmic thats thin then id go that way, the junk yard i go to doesnt have anything in it thats 2000 or newerComment

Supra intercooler is worthwhile, though I suppose that's also out of the question.
In reality, if you are doing a DSM setup using all original parts, I'm assuming your doing it on a budget which probably means your looking to use a 14B turbo.
The amount of heat this turbo generates requires a descent size intercooler to minimize the effect of a blowtorch.
Even if you use a 16G there is a fair amount of heat created.
Less heat means more reliability and more power for the sake of less than $200.
