Just got my intercooler in the other day and opened it up and found I got the instructions from the old intercooler greddy made that has the pipes on the same side. Anyone have the instruction on how install the v-spec intercooler or know where and good install is online. I saw cymfc3s's site, helps some with the pictures but there is alot of parts that i am not postivitly sure where they go.

 

blackFC has some instructions. I have them too, but they're on my parents computer 200 miles away

You have to remove the front bumper and supports. You'll see a stud and a nub sticking out where the supports used to go. Cut those off. You can cut the hell out of the supports and the bumper to make it fit with the IC, but I wouldn't bother. Just don't crash.

There should be a shorter straight bracket that has 2 holes in it. That's for holding up the top of the intercooler. The Two brackets that are offset _/--- go on the bottom of the intercooler. One sticks up higher. You'll notice that the *frame* rails aren't quite the same. They can only go on one way..although I had to slot the holes a little longer to work.

The next straight longer bracket is for the coil relocation. The coil goes right behind the drivers side headlight. You'll see the hole for the headlight washer tank(if you have that option) If not, the hole will still be there. You'll notice a few threaded holes that the greddy hardware bag bolts tread right into. You'll need one longer bolt and 1 of those aluminum spacers.

Next is a short L bracket. This is used to remove the fuse box mount. It bolts up using the hole futherest to the right and only is held up by one bolt.

There's also a bracket for the AFM, but I didn't use that.

That should get you started.

 

Hey thanks alot for your help, firend of mine just sent me he instruction in an adobe acrobat file. Lot better than cutting and guessing. Still having a problem with the pipe that goes around the power steering (which seems to be everyone's problem) might just have to junk my p.s. or get the pipe cut and reformed. If anyone needs instructions I got them now.
Thanks again,
Chris

 

Talk to dave at Fc3s.org he says you just have to manipulate the power steering lines.

 

Do you or anyone else have these instructions in english? I just bought the kit and start to get lost on page 10 of the Japanese instruction booklet, lol.

 

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out...the pipes should have stickers w arrows on them and the arrows dictate the direction the air flows.

 

I got the same problem, I got the OLD I/C instructions, which is what the car has on it now. Which is even funnier because the when i bought the OLD one from Greddy, it didn't come with instructions. HA-HA.
