Intercooler Install R33 Mspec 1993

[fEkuaR]

Hey guys,

I have a just jap front mount intercooler and was wondering what piping kit thats are available that will allow the intercooler to sit back far enough that the piping wont stick out the bottom of the m-spec front bumper. I purchased piping for it and installed it on the weekend and after cutting a considerable amount of my front bar and installing the intercooler i realised that i wasnt going to be able to make it fit properly and it stuck out the bottom of the bar terribly. This afternoon i changed back to my sidemount cooler untill i could find more appropriate piping to mount the cooler without piping sticking out and making my car defectable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in highlighting what piping kit would be suitable.

Kind Regards,

Daniel

Mine is about the same - I noticed you dont have your lights hooked up.

I had the same problem - what i ended up doing is cutting into the light with a air saw. when you cut into the light be carefull you dont cut too much - inside the casing the light is still sealed and i was able to tape it up and fit the light in.

bad thing is that the lights stoped working shortly after but the blinkers still work and it looks complete so i guess thats all good. i think the lights blew because i did not secure the light inside much - try packing it with something and taping it a bit more secure or plastic weld it up and it might work fine for you.

as for the piping - mine can be seen from the front but it does not stick out the front bar so i never worried about it.

hey man, from that pic it looks like you placed the intercooler too far forward so its hitting your blinkers

The kit comes with metal brackets that attach to the reo bar and also under the cooler to the car chassis, this allows the cooler to be installed closer to the radiator

It looks like you attached it straight under the reo bar

Unfortunately the pipes i purchased run through the standard pipes on the right and then behind the intercooler. Thus making it impossible to mount it back further. They were custom made and unfortunately poorly made. I have put my sidemount back in for now.

I dont want to have similiar issues with new piping that ill need so i was hoping someone could point out a more appropriate kit that wont give me the same issues i had with my front bar ect.

Thanks for the feedback so far,

Dan

anyone?

ive got the same problem. i wish it sat a bit further back.

i had to cut alot off my bar off

you could get your pipes cut to let it sit further back. if they're aluminium go to an aluminium welder and they'll be able to help you out.

get some strong, thin metal and cut out brackets for your core to sit further back.

i cant sit it back futher the pipes that i have run behind the cooler. Thats why i was hoping someone with a similiar set up could advise me what piping they purchased.

i use the hrbid kit, which uses the stock hot pipe, and the cold pipe runs up the drivers side. this lets the cooler sit further back.
