i know its a V-mount so no need to tell me that.
i just want to know if its to big or if i will need to cut the bumper or anything at all to get this to fit?

thanks!

BTW:
this is how its going in..

it's too thick, not wide enough and too tall. The endtanks and outlets will make the install very difficult.

Fiting it back there with such a WIDE core might be a problem too.

I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR ANOTHER ONE.

with the endtanks and outlets the way they are yo will not be able to close the hood unless you mnake some crazy piping.

 

to thick>??
i guess im going to just have to go out and take measurements myself. the link (eBAY LINK) says to email about a 3 inch core so i did and asked for the dimensions on that one. i will post size and such when i get a response.
the pic attached shows how the IC piping will be ran.

 

isn't it 4" thick?

If you mount a 4" thick IC in front of the radiator it might cause more heat problems than the cooling it will do for the turbo.

 

My oldschool Greddy IC had a 4" core and it fit fine. The way you want to do the piping, you will probably need to take off the hood latch and resort to hood pins. But im pretty sure itll fit in front of the bumper. In fact im almost positive. The core seems to have the same dimensions as my old Greddy IC.

 

This is the IC im talking about. I may have a pic with it on my car. Ill have to find it though. I have the dimensions written down somewhere.

 

i thought about this. im hoping i dont have to resort to this but if i must itll be fine.

i got an email back and these are some of the dimensions he sent me..

Grrrr.. I cant find the dimensions I had measured out for my old greddy FMIC. If you make a bracket to lower the IC a little more, you wont need to use hood pins. On the IC I have pictured above, That little bracket bolts to the hood latch and its still fully functional.

 

the pic of what you showed for how your going to run the tubing is on an LS1 conversion it appears......the piping coming off the throttle body is coming straight forward

actually if you look at the website from your original post it is an LS1 or some sort of engine conversion thats not a rotary engine in that car.....

 

Not an LS1, or even a V8. Grand National 3.8 V6 swap.

 

i know its not a 13B.
there is anther guy on here running the same thing with a 13B i believe.

did you have any cooling issues with that 4 inch core frank?

 

This one is 4" thick and its gonna need some modifications....

 

That's how I thought it was going to be mounted originally. ^^^^

 

Nah I didnt have any cooling issues. I didnt have it on my car for very long though.. about 2 weeks i believe. The previous owner of the IC didnt have any problems with cooling either. He just had the piping run all crazy. This is a new one I have thats the exact same style. Its only got a 3" core though.

 

i guess i should have explained its going where the over flow coolant tank is (used to be) like the pic i attached earlier.
sorry i said behind the bumper.

 

I think it will work fine. the guy in the above link used a core only slightly smaller than the one your getting and his looked like it had room to spare. Id say it will be just fine. If you go by the way he did it, you can keep the latch but will have to do some modifications to the radiator support. No biggy though
