can't I use an intercooler off a another vehicle instead of spending $1300 on one I have heard you can get one off an diesel or a semi and cut it down any ideas I have a 1987 nissan 300zx turbo

You can but you will have to fabricate some stuff in order for it to fit. Besides aftermaket IC are more efficent then OEM ones.

Of course you can get an intercooler from another car, like a subaru. You will have to make custom brackets and piping for it, but you would have to do the same for an aftermarket intercooler anyway. For all your 84-89 300zx questions, go to z31.com

Get an NPR intercooler of an Isuzu truck. Much more efficient than a starion ic. They go for about $250. If you are on a budget you can get one off a mkIII supra for less than $100.

the eclipse intercooler is waaay too small. i got an intercooler from a volvo 740 turbo for $20. it's as big as the radiator. plastic end tanks though, can handle up to about 15psi.
