"Man, your body is CUT!"

[klattr1]

well, i have a new intercooler: Precision 750hp rated blah blah intercooler i got from Ivan at PhatKA-T.com (31" x 10.5" x 3.5").

so i knew i would have to cut bumper support out to fit that biatch. so why i had the cutting tools out (cutting blades, die grinder, dremel, etc) i figured i would cut my bumper to have a lil more airflow to the intercooler. Rick (95_240sx) is the first person ive seen do it like his, so I figured I would try it out.

well i cut it and noticed the gaps left so i decide i would make some patterns to fill it with aluminum sheet metal.

well this is what came out of it (disregard the f'ed up hood and non-body color fender lol-thats another story; car needs hood and paint!):

Not bad at all dude! That looks like a freaking monster IC in there... any pics of what else you had to cut to fit it in?

Damn, I dont think I could pull out of my driveway and not get busted by the police here in Cali with that monster.

i had to cut the bumper suport (big metal piece going across) to make the intercooler fit up top. the intercooler also required no welding since i used heavy duty 90 deg. brackets which bolt onto the left over bumper support bar on one side of the bracket and bolts up to the casted bung on Precision intercooler end tank on both ends. the custom plates definitely make it worthwile.

i think whats getting me is the 3.5" core and the idea of that vs. the bumper support. lol. the die grinder was ur friend. i would hope heat soke is now a myth for your car........................looks tasty

[klattr1]

thanks.

ya, the key to this mod is making sure the cut if perfectly straight so it doesnt look ghetto.

i suggest making the line with wax pencil, and then making the cuts with dremel tool on the bumper riding the edge of the line, and then sanding down uneven spots if there are any.

Driving in heels is impressive...oh the s14, yeah it looks great (say 'Cheese!'). I'd like to drive my stallion through...sorry.

structure doesnt have to use a dremel or a die grinder for a project like this.....his muscles can cut glass

[Craving4Boost]

very nice..doesnt look ghetto at all IMO...looks nice and clean

[WDRacing]

Lovin it bro...great job with the sheet metal, I'm totally stealing that idea. I was debating already, I'm glad you tried it.

Good stuff as usual man.
