How To: Ebay FMIC

Keep in mind if you need more T-Bolt clamps, Napa carrys them on hand. (for the most part) Pretty good quality too.
 
I posted a test fit a little bit ago. I'm not putting the bumper on till I get the fans installed and get it on the road...that way I dont have to take it all back apart if there is an issue.

Pics with bumper installed?
 
Oh and I forgot to mention....Sawzall FTMFW!!! I had to cut some more on the bumper support to allow clearance for the couplers...was smart this time and borrowed a sawzall and bought a $4 1/8" thick metal cutting blade and it took me 10 mins instead of an hour with the air cutter.

Wish I would have used it the first go at the bumper support...what took 4 hours would have taken a half hour lol
 
Just a little FYI.reason I am going to mention this info is because if I had to do it all over again,this is the way that I would do it. Please make sure to mount the intercooler core atleast 1-2 inches back and not flushed so that it does not hit the inside plastic pieces of the bumper.why? Because this way u can keep the stock bumper grille or remove it and place it back on when u like.I will also recommend cutting the bottom of the crash bar about 1 inch to sit the intercooler higher.why?because it will get more air and u will not see the crash bar once installed through the front grille section so at the end u end up with a better look/more air cooling. Relocated maf makes a he'll of a difference. So relocate that bad boy and enjoy a more smooth idle/acceleration.slim fans are not needed but are highly recommended for a cleaner look,clearance for the hot side pipes,etc.
 
:iagree:

I mounted mine back based on your advice. The front of the core sits behind the front of the crash bar.
 
also came across this while doing this install and replaced it....no wonder with solind MMs i still had engine jolts...

This is a SU Front MM....great quality...

Ouch that mm looks beat. Mines is gold In color (I believe) I think it's made by awr or w.e it's called and has a red insert bushing. Mines seems to look as good as new. I need front brakes badddd tho lol.I wonder if I can get my cross drill rotors resurfaced/shaved down and re-used?
 
thats what I get for buying them on a sunday night laying in bed using my phone haha
 
I need to get one of those Weapon R coolant catch tanks...the stocker is just blugh...
