Camaro intercooler mockup - Lateral-g Forums

**camcojb** · #1 02-27-2005, 06:12 PM

We're pulling Dons ProCharged 69 apart so it gave me a chance to do a quick mockup of the Ron Davis intercooler. With the standard grille it definitely fits and leaves a lot of the radiator un-covered which will eliminate any heating issues with the motor. The hood latch will work fine, but the support panel will have to be trimmed, pretty minor job. The intercooler outlets will have holes cut in the radiator support so it will be placed closer to the radiator support than in the pics. The only area I see that needs any other mods is at the inlets; there will be some trimming of the bumper backets, but nothing that should be an issue. Now I need to get some measurements to make sure it clears an RS front end. The headlights are further out on the RS which gives even more room, but the doors swing in and I'm not sure how much and how far.

Wow, that fits just perfect in their. Seems like you're just gonna get around any real clearance problems that can't be overcome. Must of been some good planning right there!
Nice work.

Looks cool, but where are you going to put the flux capacitor?

It looks like the headlight doors will be close.

Does the aftermarket door systems from like DSE save any space at all?

It'll be close for sure. The RS headlights sit a few inches further apart than the standard ones like on Dons car which will help. Just not sure how far over they go when they open up.

The DSE headlight kit won't change where the doors open to, just how they open. None of the standard vacuum stuff is in the way, if anything it'll be the door itself.

I was thinking (dangerous I know), But, with the driving lights you manufacture and the fact that the DSE brite lights will shine through the RS headlight doors, Hmmmmm...How much night driving are you going to do? Believe me. I want them to work "just because" but...

That looks awesome in their. Are you going to leave it bright where it can be seen through the grill or anodize it black so it disappears?
