Hi.

I've been working on my S2 for about a year now. And now it is time to mount the brand new intercooler from Radtec. But it turns out to be a pain in the a*se to get it to fit. I want the two slim SPAL fans to be between the radiator and the intercooler, and now I have the fans mounted as low as possible to the radiator to allow the intercooler to get as far in at the top as possible. But still I can't get the bumper on properly, because the mounting brackets on the ic which is welded on pops out 3-4cm in front of the intercooler .. is this right?

Also, if I move the radiator as far back towards the engine as I can, the radiator hose from the pump comes in contact with the alternators cooling fan. Does anyone have a picture of how they mounted their FMIC, or any tip to how I could do this?

Best regards!

 

i have fittet mine whit the fans between....

I did have the brackets cut off and made a new one....



i moved the rad 30 mm. back and changed the alternators belt to a 750-752 mm. one

mine now sits like this...

 

Thanks ALOT! Those pictures really helps. Looks like I have to get my cooler to a welder who can weld up aluminium then. I thought the brackets looked a bit off when I recieved my cooler Maybe they designed the brackets for mounting the fans in front of the intercooler? Anyways ..

What car is the alternator belt originaly ment for? The 750-752mm belt I mean

Thanks a lot again cabrst. Go Denmark (Im Norwegian)

 

the belt aint from a car-model its just an univasal one....

and yes the brackets are ment to let the fans sit in front off the I/C

just say if you need more pics...ore look at my sig adress
