a/c & intercooler question

Post by facko »

i was just wondering if neone has kept their AC and still front mounted they intercooler? ive got a new bumper coming in the mail soon (like the corksport one) and im thinkin i should be able to fit one in there w/out interfering w/ the ac stuff...but i figured id get some input from u guys since i know the bumper is pretty popular for turbo setups. thx

i kept my A/C stuff...i still need to figure out the wiring to get the A/C to actually work since i went with a stand alone engine management system. the power steering thing i had to move though...i just moved it up into the oval part of the bumper next to the hood.

I kept my AC with my FMIC setup, I also didnt have to use hood pins like what some other guys did.

i can't remember the exact dimensions for the intercooler...it was made for an integra...i should go measure it one of these days because a lot of people ask me what size it is. if you are getting the MS front you have to hack away quite a bit of it to get the intercooler to fit...
