A few R32 owners cut out the number plate bit to allow more flow to the FMIC. i want to cut it our as big as the FMIC. i know it has been done before but i cant find any pics of it. if anyone has any it would be much appretiated.

(dont know if bars are spec related but mines a TYPE-M, goes straight down instead of back behind)

cheers

Daniel

Hahah you know that pic of my car has a copyright on it :D ,lol just kiding, i was actually going to do the same thing as your thinking about, get the bumper cut the whole size of the cooler, i think it looks good (but only if its done right) i have some pics on my other computer i will try and post them up tomorow

The guy spraying my car may be able to do a kit for doing this to your std bar, using an insert. Just paint it and cut the bar and it shoild look ok. I should be able to put up pics of my car in the next 2-3 weeks when its sprayed...if i pull my finger out and get the parts to finish the car

yeh didnt think that it might need to be reinforced. front bar seems to be fair sturdy but will hafta look into it.

And cheers for lettin me use your pic. very nice car youve got there.

You don't necessarily need to block the holes, why not box off the intercooler to the radaitor?

If you have basic fiberglass skills this is too easy i have done it twice. If not you could either learn as i did or take it to a smash repair place or body kit specialist.

Since i love whoring pics of my car more than roy check my front bar out.

I recently bought my self a little fibreglass kit. :D

Time to learn.

Hehe good work, its quite easy to work with once u have a little practice. It really helps if you have a book to go by or someone to show you though.

Just watch when ur sanding it, getting that stuff in the pores on ur skin aint fun, well as far as i can remember :(

Yeh, im using an insert that goes over the bar.It looks great, and the the guys that did it for me did a good job as i was haveing hissy fits as i was too impatient to get a good finish. When the car is sprayed the extra something in store for the bar is going to look great :P

Dont the holes to the side look gay? Air is lazy and will go the path of least resistance..so the open sides will allow air to pass around the intercooler, not through.

I had seen plenty of cut bars but they where all nasty! So when I decided to do mine, i wanted it formed to feed/trap the air to go through the intercooler and when searching for anyone else that had done it I came accross GTS26's photos which is exactly how mine now looks but with an almost factory looking plastic meshing of all holes (M-spec bar) and a Genuine GTR intercooler for the stealth application. A design which has proven its worth when pulled over I've been waved through and even exclaimed once that I had a "nice, tidy ride" much to my amazement!

I also took the design a little further and made the hole in the front bar smaller than the intercooler core and getting the form work angled back out to the size of the core and beyond the core which is a proven method of getting air trapped to flow through the core for maximum cooling efficiency and by having a smaller mouth create a ventury(spelling?) effect speeding up he air to pass through as well.

I only paid $250 painted. How can you go wrong?

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
