Aman Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just got mine in and tried to test fit it. Anyone else mounted one of these? Looks like the bottom of the hood latch bracket where it connects to the body is preventing me from fitting it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOTTY Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Its a really tight fit but you can squeeze it past the hood latch / a/c fan upright support if angled correctly , best just remove the upright support then install that big arse intercooler then re install the support bracket, it's a tight fit any way you look at it.

Funky Phil Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I just reshaped/bent it for a larger opening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I just reshaped/bent it for a larger opening You bent the latch bracket? How's that working out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 haha, i totally read this as the cxracing "radiator" and thought you were talking about the bracket that holds the bottom of the radiator......my apologies. BUT I have dont large aftermarket FMIC installs that I did bend the upright hood latch bracket on for clearance. Worked/works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 It's the little part on the bottom that keeps me from putting it in. I'll have to look at it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Can you post some pics? I've got a top mount CRX IC w/ 2.5" in/out. Fits pretty well. Been straightened up a bit since these old pics. http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/14392/IC_front_top.jpg From the inside (engine & radiator out):http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/14392/IC_inside.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Can't remember what I did here but I know that bracket was a problem for me too. I made a custom bracket that took it's place iirc. I'll take a look tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/...rc=1&rmvSB=true can you cut slots in to the mounting tabs to allow front to back movement to make installing it easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/...rc=1&rmvSB=true can you cut slots in to the mounting tabs to allow front to back movement to make installing it easier? I could, but I want to retain structural rigidity. I'm going to wait for Crash's explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huero Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm not gonna lie, I took the easy way out and cut mine. Maybe not the "best" way to do it, but it works. Plus, I had to have everything back together this morning so I could get in to work, so I was short on time and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
