Shift Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 pretty ingenius little mounting setup. where did you get the IC from and what model isuzu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 In reality you want the IC as close as possible to the radiator. When air exits the IC it because very turbulent shortly after, making it very difficult to pass through your rad. You might have cooling issues now because of it. Looks nice though, Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 im going to make a air tunnel so it all goes into the rad after the intercooler if it ends up being a prob its not to hard to switch it. not sure what its off of my buddy picked it up for me from a truck pretty sure it was an isuzu or a gmc same thing i think...

Evan Purple240zt Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Mine was mounted like that about 8 years ago. Worked fine, but I had it closer to the core support. That mounting "style" is as old as time... or at least Scottie GNZ's car! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 the angle gives me a nice....er shot to the holes for the tubing if it was closer on the top i would have to hack the rad suport up after i got the hood on i saw i could have raised it up a little for more ground clearence but im going to put a front spliter on the bottom so that should protect it a little more i dont think im going to run it 2 low for street driving anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 ok im done all the pipe i went through 3 - 2 1/2" U bends and a calidascope of cutting disks . I could prob make it allot faster now that i dont have to make it again ha anyways here are some pics i was going with the hot side into the intercooler at the begining but i didnt like that set up so i went for this way so the cold air has a straight shot into the intake and i think this looks better enjoy Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Looks good. Mounting at an angle like that might make it easier to funnel the air into the intercooler. It would be easier to block of the gaps between the hood, headlight buckets, airdam, to the IC. I might have to got the same route you did on the lower radiator support. Mine is somewhat smashed up.

MaTTSuN Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 thanks i like what you did with those little pocket block offs up front ill prob be doing that in the near future the way i mounted it was because thats the way it fits the best i hope it gives me good cooling, it was allot of fun doing my first major part installs and fab next the frame rails hehe i did my first warm up test with the new fan and rad just idle and a bit of reving works very well we will see when it get a little hotter i love how on one side of the intercooler is warm and the other is still col "air temp" cant wait to take he for the first spin with the intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
