R32 Cooler Question

[mr_rbman]

ok guys, while i'm doing my rb30 conversion i'm putting my new cooler on, firstly i just wanna know is this how it should be mounted? Secondly i want to keep the standard route for the cooler piping for the stealth look so the outlet on the drivers side needs the 180 degree pipe but i can't see where its going to go! the only place i can see to put it is under the cooler but won't it hang below my standard type m spec front bar, which i don't want? And lastly has anyone been able to keep/relocate they're spot lights on there 32 after putting a cooler on as i couldn't see how i could keep them.

cheers in advance!

You saw my Stagea yesterday at the dynoshop - thats got a front mount with return feed to the standard holes in the 'airbox' side of the engine bay.

With the 'dohnut 180degree pipe' maybe install at an angle going under the engine as such, in lieu of straight down.

Im still able to use the spotlights, for photos see Stagea section "the intercooler thread".

i'll go check out your thread in the stagea section, i'm pretty sure i won't be able to use the spot lights though due to where my cooler sits!

just checked out your thread and mine's a little harder than yours because of how the cooler's outlets are both at the bottom and face outwards. Should be able to do something similair though!

I was able to keep my fog lights when i installed the intercooler. I just modifed the brackets for the lights a little, ie cut off the bottom section and mounted the pipes hard up against the lights. There is a tiny bit of overhang, but its a standard bar. Dont know how your going to get the pipe running under it back to the stock pipe though, maybe offset the pipe so that it runs behind the intercooler and back to the origional pipe.
