Looking for pictures of how others have mounted ther heat exchanger behind there front bumper? Looking to see if anything has to be cut? Or just how it was mounted? Thanks!

Nothing cut, and the most basic of mounts fabricated to hold it. I'm away from home, and this is the best pic I can find in what I have with me. This was mounted when I bought the car, so I'm not sure of the specifics. I can take better pics for you on the weekend, if you like.

Thanks! I have a ZZP heat exchanger, so its wide! I no I've seen picthures on here before of one mounted up, but cant seem to find any?

would love to see a wing mounted intercooler like the prototype

That works! Its just mine is so much wider..... Guess if i cant figure out how to mount in I mak have to get a new one.....

That's a ZZP in the picture, so it should be the exact one you have.

Where do you fit the pipe(s) running from the manifold / turbo back at the engine bay all the way to the front?

Got any pics of it.

ZZP actually changed the size of theirs recently so they are actually skinnier. There is no way in hell the one you got was really 6.5ft wide.

These are water/air heat exchangers. Only water lines run to and from the rear, where the water/air intercooler is located.

Looking forward to seeing more...

He's not talking about the length obviously.. he meant the thickness of the core itself.

It's mine. It came with the ZZP short stack intercooler setup. Here's a link, they're $599

The car will be progressing again after I get it up to bmwguru around Labor Day.

Topic: How Did You Mount Your Intercooler?

Well, first I started slow, a little wine, and some soft music. Then I offered a back rub...



Brad

mine is not as tall. But it is about the length of that plus another half.

Brad, you are just wrong.... You need to have a talk with your wife. lol

I modded my top radiator support to hold the top of the unit, then made a very simple bracket for the bottom.

lmao !!!

I mounted a ZZP stage 2 intercooler, actually it appears to be a VW radiator..
Having 3 radiators in a row didnt look too efficient to me so I removed the AC heat exchanger (ac didnt work anyway) , and these ac brackets were perfect to reuse for the IC.. after a little bending they bolted up great

Excuse the ignorance, but do you even need A/C there?

quote Originally posted by mptighe: Excuse the ignorance, but do you even need A/C there?

A/C's are becoming more popular nowadays..summers can get hot around here lately Several days over 30 C doesnt seem much but we have a seaclimate which causes damp/moist air and that is noticeable..I have been in desert conditions with 50+ C but the air was dry..that was different
In general here A/C's are convenient, but not always needed... also by removing the a/c compressor I could mount the alternator in that area

I'm mounting two, one on each side under the 1/4 panels. With a widebody of course.

I mounted mine on a 45 just forward of the cradle.

I leave early and get home late but I'll try to get a pic by weekend

Here's a pic it is only looks crooked in the picture.

Fan was under the cooler. Fan is now on top of cooler under a rain shrod blowing down which cools intercooler and then the turbo. I did that way because I have another fanin that scope oulling air out of the compartment. System works fin,
