hey folks my intercooler is 24 in wide x 9 in tall and 3.0 thick

what to i need to install this to that metal bumper?


haha

just use metal brackets, its not that hard

hell me and a buddy just drilled through and welded on some angle iron he had laying around.

nice!!.............like i said this is my first turbo project so sorry if im alittle BEHIND! but im trying!


haha

zip tie it! zip ties rulez......

hahaha did you see the HMT guy on hear that zip tied his IC. he got flamed out the wazooo.

i hear duct tape works great too.



















that was a joke. i would recommend some type of aluminum or steel bracket. now, it takes a GOOD welding shop to weld aluminum, especially an intercooler. make sure you get things figured out and have some sort of markings done before you weld anything in place.

man it's so easy.. my welder was broken when I did mine... I took off the front bumper took off the rebar (first I marked my location and such) bought 2 pieces of like 1/2" square weldable tubing measured up and took it to the local midas and had them weld it.. they did it for Free..... then I took it home spray painted the rebar and the brackets black and put the rebar back on installed the intercooler and felt so special to be driving around with no turbo but a fully mounted intercooler... only did for a couple days till I installed the rest of the stuff... but I like the looks I was getting..

have fun

we did that with our sedan, before we upgraded to a greddy fmic. we were running a 2g DSM SMIC. And we got it hooked up, fabricated charge piping, and stick a filter on one end of the intercooler, and the other end went up to the TB. It was slow as piss but we got some laughs when we pulled up to a car meet with a front mounted intercooled cold air intake.

bahahaha theres a guy in my area with a purple civic with those ugly chrome tail lights with an intake like that... he saw me the other day (he was in front) stuck his head way out of the window and dropped his jaw.... good old REAL intercooler......

if you plan on relacing the rebar with somethign else like the brackets then your all set, but a 9 inch tall intercooler will require you to cut about 3 inches of rebar out otherwise itll hang down about 3 inches below your pumper, which not only looks gay, but alspo picks up road debris and is the first thing to kiss a speedbump and an entrance to many parking lots
