Hey guys I'm having trouble sorting out the mounting of the i/c on my KE20, i really don't want to go cutting up too much of the grill to fit it in but at the same time i want it up behind the grill (for best airflow) but don't want it hanging out for all too see as I'm not into that look

 

iv attached a pic of roughly where i want it but its still just a lil too far forward for my liking and i can't really go back any further without cutting out the front to suit which means remounting my radiator.. whats your ideas, any help would be great

 

cheers

I know it's a different car but I spaced the grille and headlight surrounds on dads datsun by about 10mm. But it only has a 2.5" thick intercooler.

cheers mate, anyone else got any more ideas? :yes:

On my ke30 the rear of the grill is shaved off 15mm with grinder/sander,

you can't really see it from the front as the grill remains the same but thinner.

ive got the same cooler and it mounted up fine , just welded brackets to the bottom rail and mounted it on the top via the radiator

You could buy another intercooler that fits better.. Have a look at the intercooler in my thread for ke10 that I bought. Fits perfectly behind the factory stone tray and you'll still get your bumpers etc on

also have the cooler and radiator mounted together as one unit,

 

bearing that it clears your fan/engine etc

would you be able to take a few closer up pics of your setup for me staslll?

here you go.

one more.

Theres my setup...had to elongate one hole but works for me

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

 

I know you don't to cut the car up too much, but i had the same issues when trying too keep my fitment a bit more stealth.

Minimal cutting and i managed too fit a reasonable sized cooler behind the grille of a KE55.

Not sure what a Ke20 is like but this might help.

 

Cheers
