Daston Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Can you not put the coolers on the other side as the other IC pipe takes a shaper turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 front mount goes on this weekend, god its a big bugger. I have got a though though!!! i might have messed up slightly, i fitted 3 transmission coolers in to the space where the smic was, but now realise that the fmic pipework goes in front of where the air comes through to cool it. Kind of pointless them being there? any solutions come into mind from anybody, apart from shift them:) which front bumper do you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 which front bumper do you have standard, just the way i like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 hmmm, your kind of limited then, i specifically went for the Bomex front due to large vents for auto coolers, it would not be much of a job to run the hoses over to the passenger side and if you relocate the washwipe container there is loads of room or another option would be to put them in the gap between the radiator and intercooler and monitor how things go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some aluminium the other day, do you think i could may be make ducting for it. Or do you think there wouldnt be enuff air flow with a 2" x 6" gap. Am in early stage of thinking maybe modifying the bumper itself some how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am in early stage of thinking maybe modifying the bumper itself some how 2"x6" would do fine as long as you duct it perfectly so every bit of air goes through the cooler, if you dont propose to put a fan on this cooler i would definately put a cooler in the radiator gap so you get some cooling effect when stationery or in stop start traffic as the temps can rocket in these situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
