kenne bell fmic instal, 1st design

Can anyone tell me how to mount the intercooler? I'm assuming the bottom "T" bracket gets bolted to the center hole in the core support, what about the top studs, does it require drilling?

Mine is the one that looks like an esp fm

Got the intercooler mounted up, what a pain in the balls. I'm sure someone is going to cry over me drilling holes in the perfect aluminum core support, but whatever lol! Now I gotta figure out what to do with the trans cooler

You werent drilling holes, you were removing excess weight!!

I have seen trans coolers mounted flat under the passenger side with a fan on it.

I'm gonna try to get something figured out with it today. Can't afford to drop 75 bucks for the one I need so I'll have to make it work. I wouldn't have a problem with moving it somewhere else but I don't want to have to run a fan with it. Also had to ditch the safety latch so I could close the hood. Don't worry I did't slam the latch down on the intercooler lol! Any easy alternatives for a safety latch out there? I figure if anything I could modify one. THe trick is finding another latch.

I have a Duttwieler FM 5" thick. I don't have AC on my car i took the B&M trams cooler and mounted it in the middle of my core support using an aluminum bracket. If you have AC you might want to put the trans cooler horizontally facing the ground.
