Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

I did a chargepipe set up for a similiar car with an identical looking fmic. Here are some pictures to give you an idea how I did it.

Battery and windshield fluid res. was already taken out before he brought the car to the shop. He wanted a cheap route so we used mild steel. It's pretty straight forward so i don't believe you will have any problems running the pipes.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

that fmic looks pimp, is it a right hand drive or a front end conversion? makes me want a 240

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

front end conversion. can't wait to get it in...


so krbfab... you jus mounted it behind the bumper support? hmm imma see how everything fits after i take off the bumper. i dont wanna take out the bumper support cuz the bumper will sag. thx for the pics n idea's.. mines not top mount tho but awesome..

what did u do bout the battery? slim or relocation? i didn't wanna take out the window washer fluid tank but looks like i must.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

It sucks because we had to resort to mounting the ic behind the bumper support. It seems like there wasn't any other way without hacking the support. The battery was relocated, if you have time and enough patient, you will be able to keep your washerfluid tank, you just have to get very creative.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

so having to resort to mounting it behind like u did, did u still get the efficient amount of cooling or was it minimal because of air traveling up above the bumper that wasn't getting any air was pretty heated? im probaby gonna install it tonight or tomorrow. hope everything goes well.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

Love the IC, but goddamn that's one ugly ------- dog.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

lmao ;D

Intercooler looks good... it'll look better tucked up behind that bumper when all is said and done ;D

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

im sure u think its ugly, but at full grown 2 years old n she's still small enough to sleep inside my chucks... i think my dog is awesome lol. i hate big dogs n lose interest but this one.. can't get enough of her.

yeah my friend was pretty mad about that haha. he put his keys in like he was gonna go home lol. we'll see how it looks tucked away. all i can say is that its a huge ass intercooler lol.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

---- looks good DA congrats

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

I think having the ic behind thier really hinder its performance. You're talking about half of the IC not getting the adequate airflow through it. If it was up to me, this is how I would mount it (please excuse my JDM photoshop skills :P)

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

jdm photo shop skill haha

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

hahaha awesome chop skillz... so you agree with me on the fact that it isn't getting its full cooling and possibly jus fighting its self. only half the ic is getting cooled n the other half is jus blowing how air so by the time it hits the cold pipe did it even get cooled at all? since only half is getting cooled n the other half is jus pushin hot air by... damn i never thought of it like that =x big ic's are a waste if the hole in the bumper aint big enough.

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

does that intercooler have fins inside the bars?

Re: Intercooler came in... (pics) + bonus vid lol
 

yes.
