Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

yeah. too low. looks kinda gay like that.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

yeah i figured if people can rock lips without breaking them off id be safe...

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

it looks like crap, but i bet it'd be fine as long as you dont ram it into a speed bump or something

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

its not like it will be seen dead on or anything...the cars on stands and its low as ----...so it might look better when on the ground..

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

And flip it upside down, so the bulk of the core is above the inlets.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

the tabs are on the top though...i cant weld aluminum :'(

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

They make really big zip ties. :6

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)

Part of me wants to tell you this is the wrong forum for this...

And the other part of me wants to tell you to run it like it is, or get a different intercooler.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

This is a pretty general discussion, haha.. yeah i shoulda been in FI

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

move it up, i had mine low like that i kept scraping it.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

That's a starion core, with rewelded endtanks......

Cut the brackets, flip it and put it higher. The pipes will hold it in place. It will work perfectly fine, but it does look a little off. I used one on my EF, but it fit fine. I modded the bumper support to move it up a little.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

I bought it off a guy on a local forum...but this is where its from...found it after i bought it ..http://www.redliners.ca/cgi-bin/ikon...hl=intercooler

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

When did starion intercooler's come with bar and plate?

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

IMO you can paint the lower portion black to disguise the extrusion.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Id paint the bottom 3 inches black, easy best fix

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Can I ask why?

Looks like I'll be cutting apart the bumper later this week...

Nothing says hardcore like -20*C turbo installs 8)

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Aesthetics. No real reason.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

If he wanted esthetic he would bought a longer core :8

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Just cut the bumper, and raise it up, theres no sence in doing this twice

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

cut the bumper support and raise it up more, youll be sorry when you peel it like a can opener on a raised up entrance.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

YOU PAID 280 BUCKS FOR THAT PIECE OF ----??? ha ha , thats the sae intercooler they sell on ebay for like 150 shipped. anyway, raise it up. i think it looks stupid personally and i would get a different intercooler. the JRC and CCA ones are VERY nice and half the price too

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

whoa whoa calm now with the caps lock....if you read clearly i picked it up off a local guy for cheap....the link was just to show where the thing was from...i was just buying cuz it was cheap and close...i was going to go cca but this one just popped up 5 mins from my house..

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

its ugly and upside dowen

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

You definently need to cut or remove the bumper support to move that thing up. When you move it up the inlets will be too high so you'll have to turn it upside down. People that run lips are not the same. Bumpers and front lips are flexible, intercoolers aren't. Between gas station enterances, rocks, and road ---- it's only a matter of time before something happens. Not to mention that it just looks half-ass. Just because it's HMT doesn't mean you shouldn't do it right.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Yeah, im going to move it up a bit...i think im going to leave it upside down...cuz with the inlet/outlet up a bit i can still run my pipes + can keep my fog lights.

ill take some pics when its done.

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

remove your front bumper support and flip that bitch over!

Re: My intercooler too low??? (pics)
 

Itll be fixed soon...thanks for the opinions
