MY07 GT front mount intercooler

Hey Guys

Im still awaiting delivery of my car (fingers crossed it should be here before the end of week) its a MY07 GT SpecB

I am researching as much as possible all the mods i can have done to the car and one thing i havent seen much yet is Front mounted coolers?

Is there a reason for it, wether it being performance or looks? or just nobody has got around to it?

Is there any kits available and would you guys recommend it as i think it would look sweetttttttttt lol

There are actually quite a few guys who have done this mod... speak to Michael (PHAT GT) as he is the man for this (and all other) mods!!!

Cheers
Daniel

All the cars that i know of that have this mod have no threads about them doing so...

Seriously, speak to Michael... he is a champ and will be able to answer all your questions.

Cheers

After a quick search for pics:

Fish's thread with his conversion

Arith's thread with pics of Jason, Brendon's conversions

The phat man's conversion

Use 'tmic' under search and you will find countless threads. :wink:

Oh nice, thanks Resonate

all of those have modified front bars.. you think it can be possible to do it without changing or cutting the stock specB front bar

by **senator** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:18 pm

you only need to cut out a small section of the centre out of the bar for clearence and also better air flow.

if you really want to improve the flow to the fmic, a gt bar has a larger intake then the gt b bar.

Hey Adam!

Havent had a chance to take a front on shot for ya but from the track day pics you can see it. But yeah this gives you an idea how it looks like with a stock GTB bar. I like the clean subtle look.

Even though it looks like there isnt much airflow, it performs way better then a larger TMIC and is much colder.

Might have to ask Leo if he has any front on shots.
