This is on a 90 degree rotated upper set up on an '88 LX with AC. Everything worked out real well except where the cold side pipe interferes with the lower radiator hose. Any ideas how to make this fit a little better?

The intake was rotated by Murkur Depot and shortened by about 1".

Can you go above the radiator pipe? I had to cut some plastic out to make mine fit. Then I was able to twist the pipe coming off the intercooler up and go above the radiator hose. Not sure if that makes any sense. Mine is also stock location piping.

After a second look, it looks like your frame is in the way of that. Hard to tell.

That is something we need to look into cause from the picture it looks like the U bent pipe coming from the intercooler can be twisted up closer to the frame. If we do that then the pipe up by the throttle body will need to be shortened some. Hopefully we wouldn't have hood clearance problems with it sitting higher. Might have to shorten the radiator hose so it sits closer to radiator.

Typically the rotated intakes point at a downward angle (from Bob or Bo) which pushes everything down a couple inches. In this case, I'd look at going above the hose. If that doesn't work, I'd look into shortening the section that attaches to the radiator so the bend is right next to the rad.

Not enough room for hose to go under the pipe even if the hose is cut. That pipe has to be moved up some how.

What about shortening the hose going into the radiator?
If need be, I can send another coupler and 2 clamps so you can cut the vertical section to shorten or lengthen it as needed.

Thanks for offer, we will let you know, we need to go out and mess with it a little and see what we can do. Love the quality of the kit, just need to get this one little issue worked out.

We have a solution. We added a section of pipe on the lower u bend off the intercooler to move everything back. Then we trimmed the pipe up by the throttle body. Compare this to the picture above and the pipe angle and placement has a much nicer look.
