R34 Owners... Front Mount Intercoolers

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

those of you who have installed a Front Mount intercooler, have done it under the stock body kit. Was anything needed to be removed for it? And which one would u recommend?

cheers

I had the cut the section of the middle stone guard that goes between the front bar and the radiator support because the pipe that goes back under goes too low.

I used the Blitz LM kit.

I installed a generic 530 x 230 x 75 that allowed it to fit fairly well using a mandrel donut and running the pipe back under the core. No cutting of metal was required just rewiring and replacement of the horns and removing the black plastic parts of the bar.

i also fitted lm blitz . was very happy with the fit and very easy to fit . a lot of the bumper has to come out aswell as the support bar just in the corners but allow a whole day to do it properly

The guys that fitted mine put it in on an agle to fit it.

Is this normal practise for profressional performance workshops?

I've got the Blitz LM kit, fitted it myself. Had to massage the back of the standard bar slightly with a 4" grinder but other than that not really much effort required.

I was just looking at mine and I think if you bash the inside bit of what looks like the sub frame extension in front of the radiator support then you would get a whole lot more intercooler space.

I'm going to try it soon. I will take pics.

Hey guys - where'd you get the Blitz kit from, who did the install, how much, and are you happy???

FMIC in next on my list... trying to decide whether to spend $1000 or $4000....

Cheers!!!

Well I did it but forgot to take pics. The whole thing does sit about 5 cm higher now which is good because I used to scrape the pipe that goes back underneath a bit.

got mine from autobarn cost me $1200 on special and installed it myself. it's not really that hard ,if you have the right tools of course.

I got my Blitz kit from nengun, which ended up being a few hundred dollars cheaper than getting it from Auto Barn. Install wise I was pretty much winging it and got pretty well aquainted with my grinder by the end of it.

Goodluck

Fitted the HKS to mine, need to cut the front support slightly with a grinder and drilled my own holes for the mounts so it sat back abit further which meant not so much of the bumper had to be cut out. Came with all the instructions and pics, easy to follow.

I had to trim the middle part of the front bar with fit the cooler, my is a Hybrid delta fin.
