So i have a 90 s13 HB and i just got my silvia front end for it and im planning on doing the install myself. Ive read up on how to do it its pretty simple just unbolt the old front end and put the silvia front on just the way you tookthe old front end off. Only problem i had finding is if you have a FMIC do i need to buy some brackets to help support the intercooler or what do i need to do. Thats the only part im gonna have a problem in. Ive tried searching google but i only find step by step conversions on stock KAs so it has no intercooler. Any input would help thx

As mentioned above, make brackets. Home Depot, Lowes, or any other hardware store sells items you can make brackets with.

Fit the intercooler the best you possibly can. Then, trim the front bumper to accommodate the FMIC with a dremel tool. Just make sure you measure everything properly so it's a nice clean cut. Otherwise, you'll be kicking yourself in the head when the bumper turns out like shit.
