I had a question about installing the front mount intercooler. I doesnt look too hard, except for the fact that there is this metal tubing type piece sitting right in front of the radiator . What is it and how do I get it out of the way. I have 95 Teg GSR. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to piece together my kit one part at a time..... Thank YOu.

 

it depends on what kind of intercooler you have
if you are using the Drag you can just push it back out of the way

 

thats for your a/c, you can just bend it back towards th radiator.

 

be careful bending those a/c lines, they can break.

 

Can anyone post their setups? I would appreciate it very much. I put my car on jack stands to see under there, and i promise that there is nearly no room. I posted some pics. One thing I noticed is that there are two raidtor type things. Layered on top of each other. Is this normal?


WHAT DO I DO WITH BAR AND LINES?



NO SPACE



SMALL GAP BETWEEN BUMPER BEAM AND LINES

 

theres plenty of room, you put the FMIC under the bumper beam, not behind it. push the lines back towards the condenser and youll have plenty of room.

Those lines are for the Power steering, mount the I/C under the bumper support like mentioned. Have some L shaped brackets welded on if they are not already there.

 

You sir are correct.

 

good stuff, i am about to go mount it now..... will post later on results

These are relays, not sure what specifically those control, could be A/C or headlights maybe. They can be relocated no prob.

Also, is that duct tape on your bumper support? Were you holding the intercooler up with duct tape? I thought I was the only one who did ghetto **** like that. Ghetto fabulous

 

nah, thats holding on the foam of my bumper to bumper beam. I dont need to reloacate taht stuff anymore since I found out where to locate Intercooler.

 

small gap? that gap looks huge

 

careful with the AC line, mucho dinero

that is where to mount the intercooler? so the intercooler won't hang down too low if mounted fromthe bumper beam?

That's where mine is mounted.

 

should I mount on front or back of beam?

Bottom

 

io know under it, but should I hook the L tabs to the frong of the beam, or the rear of hte beam to hang it under.

 

i Installed a TYPE 24 Greddy Intercooler on my integ
I had to cut a peace of of my bumper support, here are some pics of them

 

Either. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by BlackB18CTeg &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">io know under it, but should I hook the L tabs to the frong of the beam, or the rear of hte beam to hang it under.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

looks like i can just bend that one line in by hand, then (the one running in front of the others)

 

anyone know how to drill the bumper beam? I couldnt, it was REALLY Hard......

Also where do you send the pipe through on the driver side? I cant find any room.....

 

we just used a regular drill on Ryan's. the metal isn't really all that thick on his. doesn't look too bad on mine either.
as for room for the tubing.. that's something i have to look forward to. by driver's side.. you mean intercooler tubing right?
