The horn bracket in which the top bit of the cooler bolts to isn't directly in the centre of the car but slightly more to the driver's side and because of this, I actually bolted the bottom two brackets first.

One lines up with the bottom AC Fan bracket, and the other lines up with a spare hole (if I remember correctly). This way, the cooler will sit in the centre.

To then support the top bracket of the cooler, I cable-tied it to the hole in which I was going to bolt it to with the use of 5-7 cable-ties.

Dodgy.... BUT effective :P

This, believe it or not, holds the cooler very steady for the time being until I get a new bracket to support.

Lol, you could say that :)

Then again, we could have also paid an arm and bought an ARC stealth cooler..

Pay peanuts, get monkeys... as most will say. :)

true,,,,, i agree,,,,, but seeing as the arc one is only $100 more expensive and having bought one i still feel riped off lol,,,,, guess you learn as you go.... and i wouldn't have winged if it was $400 which i recon something like this is actually worth.... but as i said earlier, aslong as it works and does the job

I was going to go for one of these too, but for some reason, it costs more to ship something from Australia to NZ than it does from Japan, and with exchange rates it was going to come close to 1K, so i grew a sac and bought a Blitz LM too.

AMAZING cooler. so simple to install and set up.

Im pretty sure there was a thread on here with pics of how the cooler fitted and the brackets that needed to be made for the top.

Im curious to know what car they designed the "direct fit" cooler on? As i cant recall anyone having that bracket line up? Whats the story?

With the side ones, not sure if its the same with the Stealth, but the Blitz has a nut and a bolt, and you just stick the bolt through a random hole in the chassy rail. Is it the same with the Stealth?

Can see it here...

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
