So since reading so many threads and laughs about b-headed KB 2.1L does not have intercooler and it not possible create due engine valley spacing or whatever reason, I decided take the challenge
My first idea was to build like @mystickb1996 had created simple IC solution. However as KB kits sits so high in engine bay that adding anything between SC and manifold would cause that hood cannot be closed anymore. Yes you could always buy raised hood, but that would be (atleast to me) 1000$ expense...hood+shipping+taxes+painting.
Second idea was todo it like termis have, where @albino96 already had thread about it. However here the stock cobra manifold cannot be used because again stock hood could not be closed as it is higher than KB own manifold. Also i calculated the core wide should very narrow (more like 50% from original termi core) to allow air to flow properly. So thin core you would need to create eg airflow box under SC that redirects all the properly to core...and since there is again space issue, i decided that it would not be worth of effort.
So after brainstorming ideas and many hours later, fabricated following with my brothers help..hopefully images themselves do all the talking and you get idea how it works
For now I have done couple test runs making sure air flows / car works as before with IC installed (no water circulating /any IC-piping installed yet). Next I would need to install IC-pump, reservoir, radiator, but due winter and other busy stuff is catching me up, so continuing this in spring . Hopefully then I have some temps for guys
