What shape and size is your intercooler? any pics

Here's mine located in the grill area, The only bracket I used was a pro alloy jobby to enable the rad to be moved back a little bit to give clearance for the rad, previously the brackets were some home made bits until I measured up a pro alloy intercooler - rad cover, other than that my intercooler just needed 4 x holes drilling in order to support the intercooler

Think I may nee help on it lol

It's easy matey, the one you have you will have to mount it behind the bumper and more than likely you will have to attack the cross member to get it fit properly, i know 5teveL (Steve hope you don't mind the cut and paste of your thread matey:agree:) did an intercooler installation guide on either RTOC or the www.renault5gtturbo.com (http://www.renault5gtturbo.com)


5TeveL intercooler guide -

I fitted a universal intercooler to my car,here's how i did it.

Tools/parts needed:
Angle grinder with cutting disc & grinding disc
Primer or paint
A couple of bolts to hold the cooler in place
Intercooler
Hands http://www.renault5gtturbo.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif


1st i took the bumper off,there are 4 bolts holding it in place usually,1 on each side on the inner wing,accessable by turning the steering wheel to full lock.The other 2 are usually bolted to the subframe.
Then i offered up the intercooler to see where it fitted & marked this with a scribe/pen.
At this point make sure 100% that it's marked in the correct place,with my bumper i could hold the intercooler & place the bumper on most of the way so's to get an idea of how much i needed to cut away & where.
Now it's time to use the grinder with the cutting disc,in the 1st piccy i have already cut it out but replaced it to show what it looked like,then the 2nd piccy is with what i cut out,the 3rd is a test fit & 4th is with the bumper fitted.

I'm still waiting on the hoses at the moment to test it.The hoses will run along & around the subframe,then the carb side will come up by the alternator & the turbo side up over the gearbox.
I'll post a piccy of the finished article & the size of the hoses/pipes/intercooler.
