if you install the cooler on a backward angle, such as /, you should be fine

i cut my reo bar(abolut an inch) and bumper(around the pipes) and it went straight in. the only issue i had is that it doesnt sit straight because of the thermofan.

The three brackets on the core, is it pretty self explanatory where they get mounted?

I made the service of my car at status tunning and the block(sorry I'm bad with names)recomend me to put a blitz turn flow...uses the same pipping ,should fit stright and you get 2 /3 degrees less than using the pipping on top of the engine so I'm thinking about saving some $ to get it done...(anyway I'm sorry you want to start it all again) Hope we could do like in japan ,they put all the upgrades at plain sight...

Meh stuff the cops.. im gonna go a Greddy LS intercooler setup on my car when i replace my dinted and scuffed cooler...

your property insurance, TAC insurance, plus a defect which costs a shitload to clear(welding and engineering) should all be considered...

being a P plater you shouldnt ask for trouble :geek:

My car passed a compliance, rwc and was checked over by Vicroads for registration and had no hassles with the front mount thats on it now.. Should have any dramas changeing it to the Greddy cooler setup as it uses similar pipeing as i have now..

ask me tomorrow night, fitting mine then(justjap)

guessing you already cut your tray?

tray ? batt tray ? yeah got one installed already, going to a stealth.

if you mean Tray that goes along the bottom of the bumper, no i havent cut that,

in freddy's pic you should see the minor slits to make the pipes fit nice

This is a pic of a turn flow blitz fmic(aka stealth because uses same pipping as standard one)

blitzfmic.jpg

one I like the way the return was made,hiding behind the ic

and one that i found in a japanese page that uses a normal cross flow fmic ,but with the return done with the pipping(running behind the radiator)

just so you know, in qld its completely illegal to cut or modify the metal reinforcement for your bumper. so in the event of an accident you will have no insurance and they might even cancel your rego for being unroadworthy. the rules are very clear about this, as its part of the crumple zone. although you and i know its prob not gonna make a difference they dont see it that way.

ring the guys at the qld trans modifications desk, they tell ya all sorts of helpful stuff. i asked them about this about 4 yrs ago and its saved alot of hassles, cos qld transport have pulled over my car and thoroughly gone over it and i drove away without a single ticket or defect :D

but more on topic, instead of using a return flow cooler,

post-41608-1234180174_thumb.jpg

why not use a double pass cooler??

post-41608-1234180330_thumb.jpg

it doesnt need to be this brand, but the style is what i mean. surely double pass would be more compact and offer better cooling. also it would match up with stock pipework.

geez cut the shit out of the metal front bar ...

hm..... double pass cool, havent yet found one, plus im a perfectionist, thats why i got the FMIC i have, so the front looks even.

might be a long process.

the one with the pipe going behind the radiator in freddy's post. would that affect turbo response being such a long return pipe ?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
