PyROTech Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Well I assume that when purchased from EST, it would come w/ all hardware and directions. I was thinking it would take 12 hours or something.nothing i have ever done has been like the directions. something always happens and it takes even longer than if i just have assumed the instructions where not exactly perfect. Usually ends up with me finally figuring out the directions where for some old model and duck tape comes in real handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappo Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 exactly, that's why we took pictures and tried to exlplain how we went about it. Yes, I tried to explain the difference between my install and Kevin's. Not having the right tools can slow you way down also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibim Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I was always under the impression that my IC was infront of my condensor. Either way, my IC sprayer makes a huge diff in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Frank's always available to talk you through things on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've never had any problems with the directions. And Frank's always available to talk you through things on the phone.Frank's directions are usually very detailed. I do know that some people have had to redrill the pre-drilled holes that come in the IC from EST. That is the only problem I have heard from Frank's setup.

thelostartof Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 nice write up ... tho if you take a few more mins and pull the rad it becomes a lot easier along w/ gives you a good excuse to flush and clean the system out really good. plus it makes it really easy to remove and reinstall the intercooler w/ just one person .. i know because i've done it twice now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
