i bought AMS licp and it should arrive at my house this week. ive been looking around for a thread that shows you how to install it. i found the one on how to install the horsepower freaks one but thats it. is thier any other threads on it? Also does anyone know were i can find info on how to remove the front bumber step by step.



im a noob and i hate searching for things.

 

LICP is pretty simple, just get under there and take it off the turbo compressor, and inlet side of the IC...and swap it out with new couplers.
And the front bumper....this has a little detail on it..."step 2"

evomoto.com also has an AMS FMIC installation guide here.

you have to remove the front bumper to install a LICP??

 

I wouldn't want to try it without removing the front bumper. Besides, it's only about another 5 min. to do

 

I bet you get get away with just the undertray removed...but it would be hard...possible though, methinks

 

Yea you can get it on without removing the bumper but it goes on alot easier if you loosen the IC to get some play. Then install it and tighten everything all up. In which case youll need to remove the front bumper but as stated it takes a few min

 

u neeed to also think now the ams licp comes with the long peice now that bolts up to where the stock one would go so no sag. and thats a b!tch to get at with out ur front bumper off. its so much eaisers to do it with the bumper off.

 

I installed mine with the bumper on. The bumper wasnt the problem for me, the bolts that hold up the stock one was a mother. You'll find out what I'm talking about. One, I believe 12mm right above the beginning of the licp where it connects to the intercooler, and another closer to the oil cooler. Its a tight squeeze so a ratchet wrench is very handy. Installation should be perfect with the ams.

 

that 12mm is easy to remove. there is a trick for getting access to it. hint: you take the 12mm out from the top of the engine bay, not from underneath the car

you do not need to remove the bumper to install the LICP.

 

Yeah, Just remove the antifreeze overflow tank and you should be able to get to that bolt. Getting the new one to realign is a bit of tough work for me though.

I didnt remove the front bumper to install either.

 

I agree that you don't have to take the front bumper off, however it makes it a lot easier if you do. If I were you I would just take the bumper off and install the LICP as well as install T-bolt clamps on all couplings(if you haven't already) while you have the bumper off.

 

I had absolutely no problem putting it in without taking the bumper off. 5 minutes.. maybe a bit more to take the bumper off though.

Honestly, ratcheting wrenches are awesome, I just dropped one in and off went those two bolts that held it on. Same with the IC clamps, it was actually pretty easy to get it on. It would make it 100% easier with the bumper off, but it would also take an extra ... 20 mins I'd say to take your time to take the bumper off and back on. Your call, I wouldn't be afraid of either.

 

see i have a custom hidden radar detector were the sensor is mounted in front of the intercooler and its going to make it that much harder to take the bumper off.

 

I installed my licp without taking off the bumper to. Just remove the undertray and its all self explanatory. The top bolt is a bit of a pain,but take your time,use the right tools,(swivel on the socket) and you will be fine. I did it on my friends lift which made it a lot easier than jacking the car up and lying on the floor or a creeper.I also used t-bolts just to play safe. good luck.

 

^^ same kept front bumper on, no way was I going to remove 100 screws and then only end up putting back 5 , because some how the other 95 screws dont go anywhere
