What is this line? I want to take it off so my intercooler will fit better. Can I remove it?

Heres a side view

Please help asap!

Are you pointing at the metal lines? If so, thats for cooling the power steering fluid.

2nd pic isn't loading up totally for me.

I had plenty of room to fit my FMIC with those lines still on there. If you need some pics, lmk.

PS, just bend it back a little, but dont break the line lol.

Take the bolt off the bottom of the radiator support support(thing that goes up and down) and put it behind it and bend the lines slightly so they dont rub up against it. Thats what I did with mine. Check out my pics...

I just fabbed up some brackets with some parts from Lowes. Found them in the door hinge section I believe. Costed under $10.

blageo23 · 11-24-2006

Actaully I just realized that I didnt have to bend it at all. I bent the line when I put my fans in.

Yea I ended up putting it behind that metal bar. Except the bolt was just about all rust and wasn't coming off in one piece. And it's like impossible to get a new bolt in there because of all the wiring that goes on behind the metal frame. Anyways, me and my dad drained the power steering fluid and friggin took the whole line out and slid it in behind the metal bar. Took like an hour cus those clips holding the rubber tubing on are hella hard to get off! Anyways, she looks fine now. But I'm still having trouble getting my fmic to fit behind my bumper. I have grinded down my bumper quite a bit and even bent back my brackets so it's closer to the radiator, hence, why I relocated the power steering lines. I'm having some trouble getting my bumper to fit up all nice and pretty. Any advice?

Cut down bumper more. I cut off about 1-2 in. of mine to make it fit.

I removed mine with no problems.

Will you post up pics or link some when you get a chance. Thanks

mdost03 · 11-25-2006

Which pics? The bumper or more of the intercooler install?

Just remove it and loop the outlet line back around right into the inlet and you will be good. You dont need the cooler unless you are going to autocross or something. That is what I did and have had no problem at all.

Well idk I think I might have it now. But like im having to drill more holes and add a few bolts to get the fmic centered perfect. (im kinda a perfectionist haha) I guess all fmics are a little different so dont worry about posting pics. I know what I have to do. Thanks for your help though!

mdost03 · 11-26-2006

Mine actually lined up perfect fairly easily. The first pic shows what I did for mounting the intercooler. It actually holds very sturdy and doesn't move at all. The second and third pics show how it bolts the brackets onto the intercooler. Your intercooler mounting holes may vary from mine so it may not work the same.

HiImBrian · 11-27-2006

Yea my fmic isnt that big. So my brackets are a little different. Thanks though.
