i have a 28x5.5x2.3 intercooler and the SRE piping kit, im trying to figure out how & where im going to mount the intercooler, ive seen people mount them under the bumper reinforcement bar but i dont see how they are mounting them there

Thanks in advance

 

zip ties



but seriously for me I had drill two holes in the bumper suport and bolted it up.


Zip ties will work though just go to home depot and get those heavey duty ones, the intercooler is not that heavy at all.

 

haha, nice zip tie idea

 

 

Being as though you intercooler is only 5.5 in tall you should be able to drill into the bumper support and bolt it up. My old JRC intercooler was 6in tall and I did it that way. No ground clearence issues here.

 

so just drill from the top down through the support and find some really long bolts that match the threads on the intercooler?

 

here's one way to do it that worked for me. put it under the support, where you want it, zip tip it in place to hold it there. mark the holes, cut the zipties, remove the intercooler, drill the holes, and bolt that bitch on.

exactly what I did.

 

i made some tabs and welded them to the support then drilled a hole. but the precision intercoolers have a tapped hole already.

 

looks like im not the only one rockin the zip tied intercooler



just to let you know, i did drill and tap holes, and it IS properly bolted up, i just didnt feel the need to cut the ties, since you cant see them with the bumper off. plus a little added safety doesnt hurt

x2

this is how I eventually did mine

 

when you drilled holes and bolted it on, did you get some long bolts that ran from the top of the support to the bottom?

nah, i just used a tap to thread the holes, and screwed a regular 14mm bolt on each side. holds just fine

 

hmmm im confused, how did you get in there to screw the bolt into the intercooler? the bumper support looks like this right [] just a steel bar hollow on the inside

 

drill through the bottom of the bumper support.

The bumper support is hollow, you can stick your hand in each side, this is how you put the bolt through.

 

The biggest disappointment, is all you guys running around without black zipties.

 

i would get some L brackets made and welded onto the intercooler, then just drill a hole thru the bracket to the reinforcement beam and stick a bolt through. that's how i had mine setup. i don't think i have a picture though, mine was 6inches tall only.

 

Big Thick Zips worked for me

my intercooler:


my intercooler now on my car:

 

^^ i like how that fits

 

yeah considering that core is 5" deep I was worried about it fitting but it fits better than any intercooler ive ever had. Dr. Napier on here made it.

 

Cool placement of the bov. Never seen that before.

 

actually theres been quite a few like this, usually from what ive noticed, its race cars. You usually can see it though, mine is hiding, teehee

 

here is my fat intercooler mounted on my ek hatch babyy
