Hi there all, just wondering what is the biggest size intercooler you can use without chopping anything off the J-Blood front bar?

Thanks

Peter

Nah I don't have a pic of my car. I'm just planning ahead because once my engine conversion is gonna go ahead I wanna get the front mount done as well and later on when I get more dosh I wanna get it kitted up but just making sure if I gotta the chop the front bar or not with lets say a 600x300 intercooler.

get a 400 x 300, the 600 is a little to big and willl have trouble mounting and fitting it.

It's not a J-Blood bar, but it shouldn't matter too much as long as you mount the cooler back as far as you can.

Is it me or is your cooler on a slight angle at the bottom?

i use exactly what otomoto uses except my core is only 270 high

i also mounted it in such a way that the shroud that goes from the bumper to the lower rad support can still be used

heres a few pics:
