Is anyone using a CX racing FMIC from eBay? 31x12x4
« on: September 13, 2016, 09:00:24 AM »
I'm trying to figure out how much intercooler I can somewhat practically jam behind my bumper.  Does this thing fit?  Anyone have any photos of their setups, regardless of brand?

I ran one of those.  Had to clearance the bumper on my FC.   What chassis are you using?

If I remember correctly I had a CX racing intercooler on a 1jz vvti swap I did some years back. To fit comfortably I used a 3in core. I had a 99 bumper and only had to cut off the little tabs on the bottom part of the bumper opening. Nothing crazy. Other than that it fit great. Use of rebar is a no go pretty much. 4in intercooler will work but requires cutting the bumper. Use of aftermarket frp bumpers will help with clearance and thicker cores.

Any chance you have some old photos?  I think I recall you posting photos of that years back.
