Crossmember

[Sweeper]

Does anybody have a blue prints for crossmember for the large IC like martinjs have ?

I need to make mine

[Billman]

I would like to have this too!!!

[Beetie]

i think the best way is to 'offer' the ic up to the front of the car and go from there.... Trial and error i think

[Sweeper]

Tom and Martin should have the drawings !

[audiman]

Er, should!! I dont have them anymore, plus its not the best fit. Dougs is about the best apart from his huge spacers, but that could be modified. We used 30mm SS box section with 3mm or 5mm plates. Doug used the x member to sit on top of the engine snub mount. Which seems to work well.

[martinjs]

I dont have any measurements either.
Its not that hard to make really, if you already have the ic its just trial and error as beetie says.

Ok thanks , will try myself.

I agree with this, best just to have the basic design in your head and work to that. I just finished mine today. Welding is not pretty but it can handle me swinging off of it.

I copied Doug's, Martins and Toms designs, the only thing I did different was weld in the SQ snub mount bracket, which is a lot better than the standard set up.

Vadim, I made Martin@s and it was just a case of taking the front off and using 25mm thick wall tubing and some 4mm plate for the side brackets. there is a thread showing the making of the crossmember.

Yes its here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...9096#post29096. its one of three that I have been looking at a lot the last couple of days .

[martinjs]

That should do the job mark

[audiman]

If you can stand on it, then it should be fine. I see that it got a coat is silver bling paint!

I've been planning this setup for a while. Alex a guy here in the states even got it to work before me.


Here's a pic of the aan snub mount bracket:



Here's a picture of the b4 radiator support with the same intercooler that I bought.



I am still waiting for for my 3b intake manifolds to come from germany for my coupe's project. I may go to a front engine throttle body placement but since I am using standalone on the second coupe there really isn't a pt unless I have problems plumbing in the intercooler hoses. My solution to the intercooler hoses maybe to source an AAN S4 lower intercooler hose which is either plastic or metal depending on part #s. I may even consider making my intercooler support out of 3 inch round steel or aluminum pipe. This would support the intercooler and be used for feeding air to the engine.

My main reason for posting this is to show the aan snub mount bracket and v6 radiator support.

On a side note. I may cut my 3b intake manifold and flip it around and relocated my power steering pump to the allternator position and move the allternator to the exhaust side of the engine. The 10v 5000 motors and 200 3b motors had the allternator mounted on the exhaust side of the engine. I have yet to run to the junk yard to source the vw power steering bracket that I am thinking of using with this setup. Many choices to say the least.

Cheers

Oh man! The setup on the red one looks absolutely great. More pics would be appreciated!!

There are also other cars with alternator on the right like t81/t85 5cyl cars.
