Default grs intercooler on ERST s2

Hi there

I am planning to buy me a GRS EVO 3 intercooler
and am also planning to put 2 fans between the radiator and the intercooler

but now graham told me that I would need a other belt for the alternator to be moved from the bottom hose
and he could only supply a fan-bracket for my driversside (I'm from dutch so I'll be sitting on the other side of the car)

does anybody got some pictures how they solved there problem?
as I got the idea of mounting 2 fans from passionford so the must be some people actually having this, aint it?


I was thinking about leaving the rad at the original place and place the intercooler further to the front and then maybe cut a little out of the front bumper

hope you can help me

greetings
Wim Klomp

hey thanks for the reply

yes he said to me that I'll have to replace the belt for the alternator cause I'll have to place the alternator nearer to the engine and then the original belt would be to big

because the radiator had to go more back and then the otherwise the alternator would hit the bottom hose of the radiator.

but how is everything placed in you engine bay.
you have the rad in the original mounting place en the intercooler also and then put the fans in the tight space between them?
can you maybe put up a picture of you situation?
I'll know you have a zetec in the bay but that doesn't matter for the rad. and ic does it?
and how did you do it with the brackets?

hope you can help me
greetings

the alternator belt i think he might be on about?

i know my alternator has caught twice on my water pipes from the blades of the alternator and cut through. I'm now going to get a different belt (which i need to find that out) to bring the alternator back away from the pipes. simple as that. so i have been told
