Large IC install/pluming

[newsh]

To angle it back just put an adjustable spanner on the crossmember tabs and pull them down a bit, you probably want to shorten the pipework on the drivers side to help it move back.

Ok guys thanks, ill let you know how I get on. Bo, you said you have a different set up now, can I ask what it is?

i have an 76mm thick one under a Rs2 bumper, but i am not using the snub-mount to get it to fit..

Mine was angled just through the inlet and outlet pipework, that pulled it in a bit and held it very steady, also stopped it from coming in towards the crank.
I basically adjusted the sitting position with the in and out pipes.

Hmmm, that's handy to know as I was just about to order a 76mm deep one. I've already trimmed inside the bumper, did what bo did (see near beginning of thread) and quite a bit more. Really dont want to trim any more..... how did you get it angled in, using a wedge shaped washer?? Also is your car an ABY?

[s2_bo]

Yeah, IC has to dip in a bit towards the crank, im sure i have some pics up of it here..

[newsh]

I was going to ask if you'd tried the bumper, I had to lean the bottom of the IC inwards towards the car, I'm pretty sure mine was 90mm thick so it should go. Height was quite critical too, if I push up on the bottom of the bumper about 3mm it touches the IC. Have you got the grills out of the bumper to see whats going on? You might have to revolve some clips.

Can't get the bumper on

Bo, newsh, can I ask how much your IC's measure from front to back? Mine is 90mm.

Nice mod on the crossmember

True, I ended up modding the snub mount..

[s2_bo]

Nice mod on the corssmember

I know. But unfortunately funds won't allow a reverse manifold... And I'm starting to get engine conversion ideas for my newly acquired 'runabout' already :S more money down the drain lol

Yeah I know it all boils down to the wonga, shame the AAN inlet manifold requires rad relocation really.

That's an advert for a reverse manifold, you don't realise how much pipe work extra there is by stock!

Nicely done mind

[newsh]

Yes , nice, It looks very similar to mine.

To the inlet of the IC it's just a 51<76mm elbow joined to the standard hose with a 100mm long piece of alloy pipe.

Coming from the IC:

76mm 135deg silicone elbow
76mm 45deg bend alloy pipe 150mm leg length (approx 60mm chopped from one end)
76>60mm 90deg silicone elbow
60mm 45deg alloy pipe (again with some chopped off the end to make it fit)
The rest is obvious...? The last silicone hose going into the intake is a 45deg elbow cut a bit shorter on each end. Make sure you get the ends of any pipes rolled so the hoses fit on nice and securely. Hope this helps.
