Hey guys..

im putting in a ca18det soon, and im wondering how much of the old raditor support bracket i cut out??

im gonna be using a s13 raditor and for intercooler, im looking at going for a
500 by 200 by 73.. around that area..looking at going wide and not high.. so its hides behind the grill..

been done before??





thnks, Ben]

i think if ur going to install a ca u should have the brainpower to work out where to cut.sorry but seems a silly question to me.

you dont learn by not asking questions

If no questions are asked ..then the 'hard way' is the only option.

I did it ok I believe..




With grille installed

well i rather have less cut out of the front end, thats why im asking greendog.. if u dnt have postive info for this site.. WHY U HERE>>>

but u just seem to cool to be here, seeing as people come here to ask question and that.. why u here?? because u have no need if UR SO SMART...

thnks dattoDUDE.. im guessing u just cut the hole outline of the old raditor support?

i know wat your saying dude but u havent intalled the engine yet so why would u start cutting the car up .id install the engine & driveline first see how much room you do have,you know wat rad & cooler you using so just go from there .not trying to be cool but wat if someone said cut the whole thing out so u did and u only needed to cut a portion out.

my advice. wait till you get everything sorted before you cut. saves any f*ckups and it will look alot neater. mok up the intercooler and radiator then mark out where you want it then do your cuts. like they say. check twice(or many times ) cut once

What size is your intercooler Shoey, that look exactly like what I want for my install. Big enough that I will never have to upgrade it.

450x300mm (get the 2.5inch in/out pipes variant).

I got mine through a Datnet group buy with Nexcent.
But they are just the Chinese ones. Beware though that many of the Chinese intercoolers come with 3 inch pipes, which is too big, and only creates lag and fitting issues.

As I fit mine behind the grille, I think it's the perfect size for a 1200.
