you will need to trim the snorkel a bit for it to fit.

as for cutting the reo.. you can always sit the front mount further back but you probably wouldnt be using any 'off the shelf' piping kits as most are designed for the front mount to bolt up to the reo bar.

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anybody have any pics of where their intercooler pipe comes through on the drivers side and over the top of the fan blades or wherever it goes???

Anyone that has installed these lately can you please let me know about the Inlet pipe to the intercooler. It is longer on one side than the other by about 3-5cm.

Does the longer piece connect to the old pipe coming through the hole in the chassis or does it connect to the intercooler inlet?

It seems that either would way might work..

You can cut them after the piping is fitted and the fan still on. Its probably better to do so, so you can check how much needs to be lopped off and check the clearance. As for cutting, we used a pneumatic die grinder with the cutting disc attachment. Or alternatively you could use some tin snips.

We spun the blade around and held a marker in one spot to evenly mark the blades.

I gave you photo's of where the hole goes in you other thread.

Does anyone Know where to get a smaller type intercooler. I mean thinner like 50mm or something. That might suit this guys application better. I am trying to do the same thing too, i might go for a thinner cooler and try get something that has both outlets on the same side so that I can connect it back up to the factory piping.

Anyone know of places that sell thinner coolers and ones that have outlets on the same side.

Also i am not chasing any big HP figures so i think a thinner cooler might just do me nicely.

Just jap have a cooler that has outlets on the same side. I don't think its any thinner though and you would have to get some piping made for you.

Oh yeah i know but i mean does anybody have any pics with the pipes in place??

Cheers.

    • Half anticipating the next question then: I have two magnets stuck in my oil pan. What should I do? 
    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
