Ruh roh, I think I now know why H = 6.25 is so specific in this case...i ordered 7"...yikes!
After looking at your and my pictures above, I think I'm still gonna be okay for my crash bar does not have a bracket underneath like yours does to mount the bottom of the IC. The IC I ordered also has 3 mounting bungs welded on to it which I will mount the top under the crashbar and, if needed, I'll use a strap or bracket to support the bottom like I did the transmission cooler. We'll see soon, it's on its way from CA.

in the picture i posted you can see, i used i believe 120mm bolts, with whatever thread pitch/spacing the bung is. with a few washers i was able to snug the intercooler perfectly behind that lip on the crash bar. it doesn't move and in my opinion should require no furthur support. what it's bolted to is part of the chassis, it won't go anywhere, and even if it did, your piping will hold it in place, you would notice the failure if it occurred.

I need to stop trying to speculate without getting in there and actually doing it, lol! One problem I DID encounter when trying to mount the trans cooler in the similar spot was those black "roller" looking contraptions mounted below the radiator. Mitsubishi was finally able to tell me that they are "balances" for weight distribution in the engineering of "sports cars (they weigh about (15) lbs a piece)." I decided NOT to remove them because of this, although they MIGHT get in the way when trying to install the IC in the same place. Again, we'll see...

When I learned the purpose for the weights I figured that some bit of engineering time was put into their form and function and decided that they were of more importance than my transmission cooler so I left them alone. But now that I'm not the only one to have encountered them, I'll take that into consideration. I'm foreseeing, with the addition of a turbocharger, significantly more than 30 - 40 pounds is going to be added to the front end weight, and will change the 1.63:1 front to back ratio that it's built with anyhow, so I'll deal with that later.

aving to remove a modification because you don't qualify with it installed
As for making a for sale thread , I'm not sure if I understand your statement. If there are already wtb threads for a wideband that's fine and well but none of those people are going to contact you if they have one for sale. That's why you should make your own wtb thread or even just do a searches in the for sale sections. A wideband will work for all cars so you don't have to go just to the lancet for sale section, they can be found in any for sale section.
