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

cheers mate

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

fmic2.jpg

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 ?

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • 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).
