I grinded that lump to make the surface flat. and then painted it.

 

 

height from the ground.

 

total days to install all by myself ? 4 dayssssss.............. got freakin sunburnt doing it tooo.

Hopefully i should have it completed tomorrow.

Hi bangahh how did it turn out with the front bar fitted?Can we get a pic...

looks very neat.How much did you pay fro the 180 degree mandrell bend?And have you used the mounts on the bottom on the intercooler to help give it more ridgidity?

just wondering where did u get the bottom brackets from?

im talking about two metal pieces that hold the itercooler in place

i made mine with 2 polished bits of metal

where did you guys mount your horns??? i can't put it back in the same position.

[Oosh]

waldo - did you paint the inside of the pipe as well ? I think I might try and paint the inside aswell.

I've seen several so-called heat-proof paints flake away quite easily too, and your cooler piping ends up full of slightly oil residue anyway, so i can only see it worthwhile painting the outside...

RowdyR32's old setup, before he put a RB26 in, looped in front of the radiator but that was the pipe feeding the intercooler NOT returning from it. Sure the intercooler has to sink a bit more heat but a 600x300x76 is pretty huge for a RB20, if you're not going too extreme, and the pipes just before the manifold barely got warm.

never put the horn back on my car, but i have sold my 32 now so its not my problem

[lingeringsoul]

do you have to have a welder in order to install a intercooler?? im a noob at this so I don't really know.

just for shits and giggles, heres a completed cooler setup using this idea. just a bit of tidying needed and she's done

So how well would this set up work on an R32 GTS? I'll be swaping to a GTR front bumper soon and wanted to use this piping idea.

I'm guessing with "slight" modding it should work out just fine.

[sinistaGTR]

yeh cooler piping should work fine on 32gtst, just a case off looking trial and error with angles etc, remember to measure ten times cut/weld once. and front bar do a search man theres plenty of threads on it.
