turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 24d Gender: Male Posted 02/05/06 11:58 AM Share Posted 02/05/06 11:58 AM The other option is to cut the whole bar out (which is about 3" thick) and weld in a thinner bar made out of thicker steel. But then getting it engineered is a pain. cobrav8 said: boosted_sa said: cobrav8 said: If you guys are cutting chunks out of the bar - why not replace it with some reinforcing above and/or below the intercooler?←not sure what you mean? how would you reinforce it. there isn't a lot of room above and below the cooler.←well - maybe even a brace from side to side behind the radiator?It seems that this is a fairly stuctural piece being cut into here.← Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25023-will-i-get-this-to-fit/page/3/#findComment-376816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineering would be a pain, but as I always say what they don't see doesn't hurt them :rokon: if you did replace the bar you'd fit almost any thing you want behind there!mmm so many ideas! turbotrana said: The other option is to cut the whole bar out (which is about 3" thick) and weld in a thinner bar made out of thicker steel.

Lookes like it's half covered up...←read my other post it was installed for looks I never wanted my ute to be a drag car 260kw at the wheels is good enough for me if you wanna install one cut the bar out I chose not to. and it worked I could get 300 out the ute with the way my cooler was set up but the auto would not handel the torque and beefing up the auto is not currently in my budget.
