Mounting FMIC in R32 Front Bar

[GILTY]

Hey guys...just picked up my birthday Super Hybrid Intercooler today..sweet!

Just a quick question, after seeing NCE 032, the Gun/Grey R32 and it's front mount, I am wondering how they got it mounted so flush with the front bar??? How much cutting was needed etc?

Here is a pick my FMIC up against the car...

I will post a photo of NCE 032 in a reply...

Any suggestions would be great!:burnout:

youre going to have to cut the support bar to get that in

take off the front bar itself and it will become alot clearer

it is possible...

did the hybrid core come with mounting brackets or anything?

Not to much cutting required when I put mine in. Mind you mine is 450x300x76 so its fairly small.

The idea is to take little bits of each time and test fitting it. Get yourself a ruler and bolt the cooler on. Measure the distance of the outside edge of the cooler to the radiator and use that as your guide.

It only took me about 3 hours to install it.

Congrats on your serious looking cooler. At a glance i dont think mine is near as big.

Your lucky you have the front bar that you do. Having had your type plus my current one, your required a lot less cutting to allow for the IC and plumbing.

Patience and remember that detail makes or breaks the finished product, so primer/touch up cut steel, remove burrs, sharp edges etc.

MM2death...that would be great shun...as I have lost the photos that I had...

I want mine mounted just as his was VERY flush with the front bar...very nice (NCE 032)

[GILTY]

MM2death... I would love a cuppla of photos of the cooler in the front bar and some of the pipeing if you can as my mate id fabricating the piping himself and he need something to go off if he is to move anything etc

thanks champ

It's all to do with the brackets that go onto the bottom of the radiator as to how it sits so flush with the front bar. Here's a shot...

[GILTY]

I see.

Can you get a shot of the front of the car for me MM2death?

I want to see just how flush it is to the bar...

Cheers for your help!

[GILTY]

Actually...I have 3 photos of it already so I don't need any ned ones, thanks anyway champ!

A little bit of surgery on my front bar will be required to open the mouth to the intercooler totally (I want to expose as much of it as I can to the air flow!
