M2 large I.C. with miniature battery?
Can I use the M2 Large I.C. along with a miniature battery and make it work? Also with this particular I.C., what else do I need to consider? Thanks.

You can PM Jpandes. He runs the M2 Large with a mini battery (PC680). He had to slide the core to the passenger side a bit, so his duct doesn't line up perfectly. It's not a big deal but I know he had to play with it a bit. Perhaps John will chime in.

Airpump does not have to be eliminated. I run the M2/ASP large ic with the M2 cf intake, and have my airpump in place. Just need the right pipe is all. But with this set-up I moved my N-Tech BMK to the bin behind me.
With a different intake, as above, you could move the ic over to make room for the BMK, but you'd have to remove the airpump or get a custom pipe to move around it.

Kevin does offer piping now to keep the airpump for the medium sized SMIC. However, I think those are made "on demand".

jpandes, he has the M2 CF CAI, which obligates you to move the IC to the drivers side, leaving no room for even that small battery.
You have a gehtto CAI, therefore you have the luxury of space for the battery.

So basically if I use the proper turbo outlet pipe, I can keep the airpump. I know that Kevin Wyum offers these special pipes. But it looks like I MUST relocate my battery. Unfortunately, it's not my first choice.

As Radical Rotary Avantgard mentioned, it depends on your intake. If you have a smaller intake, you can slide the IC more over to the battery side.

Sounds like you're a perfect person for the Medium IC. The efficiency ratings aren't much lower than the large at speed and you can even keep your stock battery in place.
Yes I'm working on a cast pipe to allow both large and medium IC's to be used with the airpump in place. I got an Email from the foundry yesterday actually saying they had lost track of CAD files and if I could send them again. It will be a little bit but shouldn't be too long now. Finding a place to do it was the biggest pain of the process.

as usual kevin makes the correct point....
bottom line is either run the large intercooler and relocate your battery or run the medium intercooler w a smaller battery in the stock location.
note the above picture as to how 3 inches of the intercooler has no ducting. you'd do just as well w the medium intercooler.
my congrats to you for putting the intercooler where it belongs which is in the engine compartment. front mounted intercoolers generally necessitate a big mouthed nosepiece which has all the aerodynamics of a Hummer. mazda worked hard to make the frontal area small with a low drag coefficient.
the one addtion to an intercooler in the engine compartment needs to be some hood louvers for exhaust.
good luck,
howard coleman

There is no additional charge for the pipe. It's part of the kit. It goes in place of the normal turbo side pipe when someone buys the kit. The person has to pick which tube they want. The $180 price was only a ballpark price if someone were to buy just that air pump pipe alone with no kit, for example someone that already had a kit and wanted it. If that doesn't make sense let me know.

P.S. Thanks Howard, I can't argue with that of course : )
