Here's the intercooler under the bumper.

Here's what I've done so far. It looks like getting the IC to fit is going to be a bitch. While I'm waiting for the piping to come in I'm going to flush all the fluids (new brake fluid, coolant, oil, gear lube). Does anyone have a clutch to sell by the way?



Sorry about the last picture it was a little too big.

I think it shall suffice with the water injection and the Co2 spray if the water injection doesn't cool the air enough. Any one have any pictures of the greddy FMIC tubing without a fron bumper on? I want some ideas and I'm too lazy to look it up myself.

wont you be able to stick a bigger stock mount than that?

The core is 3 inches thick and like 25" x 6". It'll fill the whole bumper up with IC fins. Any bigger and you'd need a different bumper to get the real efficiency out of the intercooler.

cut that plastic grill off! i did on my car, looks sooo much better. i can post some pics of mine if you want to get an idea of how it looks. it will show off you're nice new intercooler. and if you're worried about rocks dinging up the IC, buy some rain gutter guards from lowe's or home depot and rivit them on the front. the mesh only costs $1.08 for a 3'X6" aluminum sheet.

you could have just mounted it a little further back. or gotten a thinner one and replace the AC condensor with the IC. or you could have made new mounts for the radiator, gotten an electric fan, and made space for a thick IC in front of the radiator. then you would have had to take off the front bumper. just my $0.02.
