S14 Intercooler setup that doesnt sag below OEM bumper? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

drag113 · 09-04-2010, 12:22 PM

Does anybody have a good experience with an intercooler kit that doesnt sag or drop below the OEM kouki bumper? Mine drops below the OEM bumper. Its a little tall for what it is and when i go over a bump or a steep driveway, the first thing i hit.. is the intercooler

Pics would help too!. Im looking to replace mine asap.

damn how low are you?

im pretty low on 18's, if i had the kouki lip mine wouldnt be below mine

drag113 · 09-04-2010, 01:03 PM

Id say lower than yours :/

Sileighty_85 · 09-04-2010, 02:51 PM

the intercooler or your car?

TheGrim · 09-05-2010, 09:43 AM

Ive got the ISIS fmic setup and stock kouki usdm bumper with no lip. Mine hangs about a 1/8 inch lower than sileighty85 does. do u have any pics of the support tabs and how u have it mounted?

the one on my Car is an ISIS Core. But I made some custom lower brackets so i didnt have to make extra holes in my Lower core support.

I have a build thread in chat called "Project RB" that shows how I made the brackets

drag113 · 09-14-2010, 08:24 PM

Found this pic elsewhere. Doesnt look like it sags much below the oem bumper

I got a huge FMIC from CXRacing on ebay, and it mounted up perfect on my zenki without any mods other than shaving the inside of the bumper cover a little... plus it was super cheap and made very well.

Big Zee · 09-19-2010, 05:57 PM

PBM high mount is the way to go, less piping also so you have way faster response. it still shows through the bumper, but only like 3/4 instead of full, which allows more air into your rad so you have both cores getting air cooled instead of one and residue air cooling the other.

endlessboost · 09-19-2010, 07:26 PM

^ dude what are you talking about? The PBM high mount sits right underneath the rad support. Its nowhere near as low as the other kits these guys are talking about.

no, i dont, but i might just fix that weird angle of the intercooler tomorrow, so I'll take you a pic or two

*DJPimpFlex* · 10-15-2010, 01:32 AM

PBM is the way to go.

xxoreolovexx · 10-15-2010, 07:31 AM

i have a cxracing from ebay on my kouki and had to mount on the very top holes. also, i had to knotch my headlight housing and she hangs perfect.
