I will Edit the post after the pic has been taken! Came here looking for a write up or pictures....use a damn Question mark!
Anyway we can access these pictures?Sure it can be done. But you should use the IC pipes from the same car as the IC comes from.
The big IC from 900 with AC fits perfect in front of the cooler. Cut out the sides a bit and this is the result.
The first is from when I turbocharged a b230f and wasn't so serious...
IN the second pic you can se how clean it looks

I started by cutting the vertical sides of the radiator support until the ic could move up more. The ic has these little feet on the sides of the end tanks and I'm going to make slots in those so I can rest them on studded bushings that I'll fasten to the bottom of the radiator support. I trimmed the top of the ic so that it fits in the groove in the top of the radiator support. Once a rad is mounted behind it using the factory clamp type things I think it will be pretty solid. I've been playing around with rubber edging and gasketing to make it fit better too.Pinguin's 93 244+T (Formerly MistrThou's)
Traded my 99 V70XC to MistrThou for his 93 240+T Here's what I gave up (MistrThou taking delivery) In return, I get this glorious beast: Ramrod it around town unchanged for a bit: The rubber line that was on the trans cooler blew off on my way home from work, and cooked the transmission...
It's not the same guy, but I did this on my 93 240. It involved cutting the spot welds and removing the stock rad support, then cutting up and welding in the late 7/9 rad support. This allows you to fit the complete late 7/9 Rad/IC package. You could probably get away with less work if you used an NA 940 radiator, as they don't extend below the mounting point.
You'll also need to remove some sheet metal behind the grille on the 240, there's a fairly easy to see and follow line where it bends, and I just cut along that.
I didn't get my positioning quite right, so I'm gonna have to cut my mount out and move it up by about an inch/inch and a half, and back by maybe half an inch. That way, the top of it will engage with the stock 240 radiator mounts, and there will theoretically be room for the 940 condenser to be put in at some point. I did it so the install will look fairly stock, and because I plan to someday drop in the do88 radiator and IC.
It's probably not worth the effort, but it's what I wanted, so I did it.
I also went with the na 240 rad and trimmed the 940 electric fan shroud down so it will fit the 240 rad.
I made major changes to the front sheet metal and radiator support because I hate the idea of cutting the fan shroud.
I still have the 940 parts car so that could be an option for me if I hate how this turns out.I made major changes to the front sheet metal and radiator support because I hate the idea of cutting the fan shroud.
