Hello all. I was wondering if any of you guys had some decent pictures of your ca18 s13 fmic setup, preferably with the front bumper and even the bumper support off. I am just looking for some reference pics to see how you guys attached the core to help me with my install. I am using the s14 sr20det kit from cxracing, so any of you guys running this kit, that would be infinitely useful to me. Also, did you guys have to trim/cut the bumper support, etc. What all did you have to do to make it fit. I would very much like to keep my bumper support for the obvious safety reasons. Thanks in advance.

I did search through several pages on here, didn't really find any good pics with the bumper off. Your myspace page wouldn't let me view your pictures because I am not listed as a "friend"

fit like a glove.
just trim the pinch welds on the support to fit your core.

with the brackets CXRacing included in the kit, you'll be able to mount the intercooler core to where the horns are mounted.

superman, did you have any issues with the hot pipe sitting too high with the cx racing kit? I mounted the core to where the horns mounted up using two L-shaped brackets, and it appears that the hot pipe may be too tall to close the hood. Just wondering if you had any issues with this. Or if anyone else has used this kit, please chime in.

I had no clearance issues with the hot pipe sitting to high. I even ran a hose for my catch can OVER the hotpipe and that cleared as well.
