Greddy Intercooler Condenser Relocation Question

Anyone have a pic of the condenser relocated when using the Greddy FMIC kit?

Seems that 3 brackets are provided and it mounts nearly vertical like the radiator?

No bracket is supplied to mount the corner of the condenser behind the drier?

How is it secured at this corner or am I way off?

Thanks in advance.

i had this exact same problem! this is where i ditched the instructions cause there obviously no good.

i relocated my ac condenser to sit vertical. it sits directly in front of the radiator. i unbolted all the brackets to ac lines as i could, that way i had more play to bend things. ill try an take pictures tomorrow and show you how mines mounted. i had to make custom mounts btw and it was a pain.

^^^ That would be badass and I know there are others who would appreciate it too. Seems to be a common question.

im sorry it took so long to get back to you. here are some picts i snapped this morning. the way i mounted the condenser might not work for you or everyone for that matter since i mounted the radiator a little further back that way there was more clearance for things

^^^ Clean.

So there is no condenser bracket right by the drier? It looks like it rests happily on the tank.

Did you fab the radiator brackets because the ones from the kit wouldn't fit the thicker radiator?

I haven't gotten around to fitting my radiator in because the engine is out of the car right now. I have a Koyo N-Flow so I guess it looks like I should get ready to so the same thing.

why thank you

there is no bracket by the drier but its mounted in 2 separate locations and it doesnt budge.

the radiator brackets were fabed. there nothing special. just an "L" shaped design that mounts strait to the chassis.

you can do it however it works for you. this is just the avenue i went. i hope i helped

4cn air..
seems you fabbed your own brackets and didn't use the ones in the kit as they are black in color.
Can you get some more pics as I was thinking of doing the same thing.

Thanks

I'm looking to move my radiator to this position to make room for a big FMIC, I don't have a kit though.

The pics above are great for the top brackets that i'll need to make, but what about the brackets on the bottom?

Any pics would be amazing.

Thanks
