You will have to cut the black plastic bit out of the mouth of the front bar.Cut a hole under your washer bottle for the pipe to come through.But if i were you i would get a dump/front pipe before doing an intercooler.

search the tutorial forum section, theres a guide for the ARC kit (the one that pipes into stock positions, pipe pulls a 180 on the cold side and loops back underneath) and also one for the Hybrid (similar to Just Jap kit) so just search around. From memory though the Just Jap ones require trimming of the fan blades, cutting under washer bottle and trimming of the front reo bar.

heres a guide to where you'll need to cut the hole, under the washer bottle that i ripped from the other thread:

you'll need to cut out the front reo bar in 2 places for the fmic to fit up to 2 existing holes on it (you'll see them when you take the bar off).

ive seen plenty of s2 installs that dont need the front bar to be hacked into with the JJ kits.

its the series 1 bars that need butchering.

I noticed there are two small items i think they are the horns in front of the radiator behind the front bar, do they need to be relocated? does the bar behind the front bar need to be cut to fit the cooler or compeltly removed?

I did look at the two guides, they wernt much help. The Arc kit guide was great, but im not using that kit, so i need to now for a JJ kit. Does the washer bottle need to be re-located? dose the front intrusion bar need to be cut into or removed altogether.

If you cna find any other links for install. please put them up :D

yeah i just installed mine and haven't put the horns back on yet not sure where a good spot is yet, I got mine in without hacking the reo also I hacked my thermo fan and front bar lights instead eek!

Got any pics of it all installed? wot did u do with ur washer fluid bottle?

yeah i just installed mine and haven't put the horns back on yet not sure where a good spot is yet, I got mine in without hacking the reo also I hacked my thermo fan instead eek!

I installed the JJ kit on my s2. No trimming of fan or moving horns. Have to cut the centre section of bar out, a little out of sides of bar to allow room for pipes and cut a little bit of plastic bracket off washer bottle if you have to. I also got my mate to weld on a nipple for the boost line. Quite simple, just take your time cutting the front bar as you don't want to cut too much at once. I'm happy with the kit, looks awesome! :blink:

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
