    This is to show how to install a FMHE on your car. This is a stage 4 from ZZP. They said it will not fit if you still run a/c and have the ac condenser installed. I'm about to show you how to make it work.


    Here are some comparison pics of the stage 2 and my new stage 4.





    First take the front bumper COVER and BUMPER off (bumper has 6 bolts)-






    Next remove these tabs as it won't go into place with these here.There is one on both passanger and drivers sides-






    Grind/cutt them off with an angle grinder but be sure not to slip. If you do you will be riding around without a/c untill you get a new a/c condenser(Not sure why the SAFTY glasses are on my head?)-




    They should look like this when your done.Both passenger and drivers side-








    Next you'll have to make the brackets for the FMHE-





    These will slide into the front radiator support chanell and will look like this-







    Next comes the top mounts- make them look like this-





    Next it should look like this when mounted-




    Next notch the lower air dam (corners so it will clear the hoses ect.) with a thick razor blade or dremel




    Put the bumper back on and should look similar to this-








    Put the bumper cover back on.And you're done!!

    A few more write ups like that and I 'might' be convinced to take you off the probationary ban list.

    those brackets look like they could have been home made, flat stock a drill and a vise and a hammer to make the bends, see all the dings on the sides...

    rad is part number CU98, seems like this would be much better than any FMHE.

    Break out the air gun and try it.

    if you look at the next to last pic it looks like there would be enough room to install a 16" fan set up as a pusher, as now the stock fans are pulling air through 3 radiators.

    I remember there was a molded heater hose and then a reducer. It's been 7 years since I installed it. McMaster Carr website is down I will look later.
