I'm installing the full setup and am hung up with the intercooler install. What I figured would be a no-brainer has me stumped. If you have the kraken intercooler on an NA with PS and AC, can you shoot me some tips and maybe pictures to assist?

 

Low mount, but it might give you some ideas.
I deleted A/C before starting, and then realized I needed to get rid of p/s due to some clearance issues on intake. Will be putting that back in in the future.
Good luck man.


P/S still here. 5 inches of clearance

Pretty tight

theres no way

Intake side fitment was tough on IAT

This is how i have it now without ps

intake side again

 

I the kraken side/top mount efr setup with power steering and NO AC, and was able to re-use my Flyin Miata silicone piping for MOST of the intercooler setup -- had to do a little trimming here and there, but it works and is flexible to help with fitment a little

 

No experience here, but I think many people follow the FM routing, if not use FMs entire silicon tubing from turbo to intercooler. I am pretty sure you need to remove the coolant line bracket/hard line that is bolted to the shelf behind the headlight, many people use the FM hose that goes from the rad to coolant inlet in that area. My advice is read more build threads and FMs turbo install manual to inspire ideas.

 

 

Thanks. I figured it out over the weekend!

 

While not a Kraken manifold setup, I recently had really good luck running the hot side pipe through the space behind the fender. It required a bit of cutting, but the routing worked out really well and it kept everything from getting cramped and hard to work on.

I dont have nay pics at the moment, and Im having trouble finding anybody else that has done it this way (I know I didnt make this up, but my google-fu is failing me)

This is pretty close. Just imagine its the charge pipe, instead of the intake.

 

Hey, are you supposed to install a rubber grommet or something between the Intercooler and the mounting point to the chassis?
