Re: front mount intercooler pics
I think you have the pics the wrong way round..
It looks very neat..sits nicley in place
how much psi can that i/c handle? and what is the flow like as it enters and exits?
I've always wonder how much affect it would have using lower performance parts.. albeit larger intercoolers - it just looks quite a sharp turn into the intercooler. I remeber reading an article and it stressing the importance of keeping things smooth..

Seems ok haven't measured any temps yet, but its vey tight under the alternator so the cooler will be coming off soon and going on the 11. Pictures are in the right order gone back to lobster as the 90 hose kept on popping off! :(

I don't know anyone whos run one before so couldn't say is it was a good or poo!
Ok not as big as some of the lads coolers on this thread, but still quite big and keeps stock looks. So thats a Win Win in my mind. :D
The Ford boys seem to love these coolers on there mk 3/4 Escort's and mk3 Feista RS.
Re: front mount intercooler pics
so wats the advantages having efi apart from not getting carb freeze and is it expensive to have fitted.
Re: front mount intercooler pics
cooling is a function of the size of the IC and the air flow across it
The only Hi Flow Low volume Intercooler out there

Re: front mount intercooler pics
Looks really functional that set up, just a shame about the hole in the bonnet it make it work so well. :cry: You must get some good act from it. :)
Re: front mount intercooler pics
Russell good solution, nice and neat ;)
Good clean air flow been a bit higher as well, I vented the front of my bonnet in that area on the vag 5 and even this without the cowling / ducting made a difference. The stamped bonnets look good in the usual areas they get done but not very functional when driving due to high / low air pressure and can go against the way the 5 engine bay cools - nice to have in traffic but not much else

Re: front mount intercooler pics
what are peoples opinions when you cut the front cross member out to fit a intercooler..
Sorry to revive a whole topic, but surely better than starting fresh.
Re: front mount intercooler pics
just cut it, weaken or not if you have a frontal in a r5 your pretty much dead anyway
