Front Mount Install On 32

[Onthehunt]

Mate and I installing a hybrid front mount on his 32 tonight and got a few questions.

1. Do you need to drill and tap a new nipple into piping like the 33?

found lots of info on 33 but not 32 install

we are a fair bit through the install but hit a bit of a wall. is it fine to trim the fan shroud a little at the top for the piping or is that a no go?

No you dont need to drill and tap any holes well least I didnt have to when I did mine

the 32 has the nipple on the compressor cover so no need to drill and tap.

depending on the kit it can be straight forward with minimal cutting or you will have to cut the reo and front bar. You'll have the usual r33 problems otherwise with fan clearance and drilling the hole etc.

ive seen peoples cut the fan (myself included) but not the actual shroud...

If it's only the back edge you'll be fine. If it's further forward then you will probably have to shorten the blades as well which isn't so good.

i had to hack away at a fair bit of my fan to fit mine

i didnt however cut me reo bar since i didnt have the right tools to do it and also coz i didnt really want to.... only problem is that it sits too far back and the pipe that joins to the big L pipe doesnt match up perfectly and has the join keeping it together but it has seemed to hold for the last 1-2 months
