I still need to removed the front "crossmember" that spans the frame rails and free up more room and make some ducting for it. IC size is from the bottom of the bumper to the top of the bumper support. There's still a few more inches I could add to the top of the IC before it hits the head panel.

Will you still be running the radiator in the factory location??

My friend cut of the front "crossmember" and fabricated this support for his racecar project

Those are some HUGE ICs!! I'd be very interested to hear what kind of temp drops you're seeing.

Rad will be kept in the stock position.

These IC's are small I could add a few inches in height it I recess it back some after removing the crossmember.

THIS is a big IC:

So I got ANOTHER project in the garage...I was trying to avoid it, but just couldn't pass up the killer deal. This car will replace my current Audi as a DD once I get it up to spec (needs some tuning, radiator, and a cat to pass emissions).

1995 Audi 90 Quattro Sport



With a little something special...



Specs:
4.2L 32V V8 (ABH engine code; 280hp stock)
034 Motorsport IIc Standalone with COP conversion
Vogtland springs and Bilstein shocks

To be installed:
Hight flow cat and 3" exhaust
RS2 FG front bumper
RS2 replica front swaybar

Should make for a fun DD!

Haven't done too much work (been working on the V8 Audi more so I can get it out of the garage and make it my DD...trying to have it up and running in two weeks for a dyno day). So I've just been collecting parts. Got another intake manifold to sandblast/powdercoat as my current intake mani has a stripped fuel rail thread and I messed up one of the vac ports on it. Gotta buy a new air compressor to get my sandblast cabinet up and running. Got a correct venturi delete kit (wasn't happy with the one I put together) and a LR fuel injector wiring kit. Really thinking of making my own harness (got the JohnKoaWood group buy on connectors) as my harness is in bad shape...lots of cracking on the wrap and a disintegrating negative battery cable. We'll see, hopefully I can get the car up and running on the current harness fine and build one on the side.

I also grabbed some tires today, 245/40R18 and 285/30R18 Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions. Gotta pull the 18" cup 2's and sandblast them and powdercoat them (right now they are just rattlecanned red to make sure I liked the color scheme).
