Large ebay intercooler fitment pics
I picked up a 32x12x3 intercooler off ebay last week and riped off my npr to see just how well it would fit, figured some fc guys would like to see how well something of that size would work
no i dont have a real 'bumper' at the momnent, once the intercoler is mounted and plumbed im going to make someting as strong or stronger than the stock piece
the plumbing will be though the holes behind the headlights, shouldnt take more than a few hours to complete

Its good space for the plumbing and the cooler in front of the radiator, all you need is to remove some of the plastic and bend the servo cooler a little back.

Well i finnaly got around to plumbing the intercooler. work, and the 10000 other projects kind of got me sidetracked but here goes
somewhere i found time to polish my compressor housing
Some of the pipes are already painted because there from the previous setup, so i didnt cut up the j-bends didnt need. took 45min to make it all work. tommorow ill pull it off, file off the burrs, weld on lip so the couplers done slide apart and put on the t-bolt connectors
im happy with it, and i hope the photo's help with other peoples fmic setups if they cant figure it out on there own

holy huge turbo and intercooler batman.......very nice setup!!
I got that same ic. Man I love the fitment of it! I was afraid I was going to have to fab up brackets but it just fit perfect for the fc. Make sure you bead roll those ends man!
I weld bead's around the edge of all the pipes, i tried getting along without it with my first ic setup.. didnt work
