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.

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.

    • Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.  
    • First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so. 
    • A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.   
    • @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question. 
    • Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
