Anyone install a PS IC and not have AC? I am installing mine with coolertubz and find the IC fits best upside down but that the coolertubz are too long. I read someone else who had this problem and he cut the tub shorter.

Curious what anyone else has done or found?

 

watch my video in the twinturbulator thread. might help you out

 

I think that was me. I flipped the inter-cooler upside down to make the tubes work right with the angles. I had to trim them back behind the beads that were already made. I made new beads somehow... can't remember now! hahaha. I either used a punch and made a bead, or I welded a bead around it.... Now my new job has a nice bead roller... doh!

And, I used the inter-cooler in front of the a/c condenser, so I don't know why they were so long....



Oh yeah: I had to trim my triangular support, and I tilted the cooler forward so I could get my secondary hood latch to engage right. I also trimmed the latch. I'll dig up some pictures. I also had to trim some small pieces of plastic on the back of the grill, and dent out the valance trim that runs along the bottom of the inter-cooler above the bumper.

I mounted it higher than some I think:


I tilted the inter-cooler forward, so I had to trim the latch as such:


Best shot I have of it tilting forward. hard to see:


I had to trim these knubs off the grill:


Obviously widen the holes for the inter-cooler as I'm sure you know by now. I used pieces of air hose cut in half lengthwise as chafe guards in case my A/C condenser was to touch anything:


I spaced the intercooler, condenser, and the rad. support with these rubber isolated mounts I made from air hose and tubing. I made the air hose longer than the tubing to allow a little bit of soft mounting.... idk if it mattered:

 

This was how long my tubes were! I know kicking one on top of the other skews it slightly, but you can get the idea I'm sure:

 

Thanks for the pics!

I dont think mine is that much longer but hard to say.

I dont have AC so i may be able to push mine in further and not need to trim the grill.

 

Where did you get that 'topside creeper''? Very neat!

 

The ol' lady got if for me for my birthday or Christmas. Probably the handiest tool I have! I think she got it at Northern Tool or one of those similar sights. It folds up so you can stow it in the corner to boot. I use that thing all the time. No more sore chest or knees from the radiator support.
