so i've been looking for an intercooler and radiator set up for my sr20 swap long story short... i bought the CXRACING kit that they have, and now that im putting it together i realized it doesnt fit. well i went back to the picture and saw that they changed the frame to fit it lower, or is that there using a earlier model year than my car???

@screamer510 if put the intercooler where it's flush to the cross brace of the frame I have about 1.5" of the radiator that sticks out, reason that it hits the intercooler outlet/inlet. So I though maybe smaller radiator but the size is too small as it will be about 11" by 24" with tanks seams to small for a 510 with an Sr.

 

@Philips1987, yah I went back to the pictures and I noticed the notch but didn't know if it was stock I've looked on google for pics and never found it. So much for buying the setup and finding out that's "little cutting will be needed" really means I'll be cutting up the frame of the car. Talk about vague.

 

Well what ideas do you guys have I've hit a write block sort of say on what to do here

I'm about to install the same inter cooler and cxracing radiator in my car this weekend. I will try to put some pics up as to what ill have to do. I don't think you have to cut the frame but you will cut out some of the cross brace area. I haven't actually test fit yet so ill let you know what I find.

Started by cutting out the metal for the inter cooler

Cut a piece out of the support looks like this. Did not cut the lower support.

Tested the mounting. Looks good, I cut out the metal for the IC the mounting bracket didn't line up like they show in the Ebay page. The bottom mounting brackets did not line up with the 2 large holes. So we welded in a small strip of metal to support those mounts.

Then installed the CXracing Radiator just on top of the Intercooler it fits great just above it. Just make sure you leave a gap so that you can get your clamps and silicone hoses attached to the inlet pipies. I also noticed that there was much more room in front of the engine that when I had the KA24de installed. So I was able to install the shroud it came with so happy about there here are the shots of it without and with the shroud for the 2 electric 12inch slim fans.

Might not be the best install but I like it alot. Clears the hood no problem.
