    intercooler with stock AC stuff

    I have a a euro valance if that matters but really want to find an intercooler than will allow me to keep my stock AC fan/condenser.

    Anyone done so? I'm thinking of something like 27x5.5x2.5 and mounting it kind of where the stock m20 oil cooler used to be. I want it to look 100% stock with fog lights etc.

    Any insight is appreciated while I disassemble the front end!

    Thanks.

    PM me your info and I can send you pics of my intercooler with A/c Setup, I did remove my AUX fan but have plenty of room to install a slim fan now, I'll give you my dimensions when I get home

          Very few people have done this, there are pics in my build thread (link in sig) of my setup. I recommend using a smaller intercooler than I did.

            Don't know if you can see this or not: http://http://i301.photobucket.com/a...psz7gddd2s.jpg

            This is what I did and it's worked out just fine. You may want to trim the center part of the valance for better airflow, but I didn't do that to mine. You will have to trim two of the brackets that hold it up (you'll see when you do a test fitment). I was able to keep stock AC with this and although it isn't awesome at idle, it does work better when in motion.

              as far i remember this intercooler is 21x9x2.75 right?
              which size are the inlet/outlet?
              you still having a fan for the a/c?
              have more pics about how you solve the space problem?
