JRP this could be something for you to do instead of sitting at home masturbating, make yourself useful get out to your 5 and measure bitch cm or inches (the grill area please not your cock)

:laugh: Chris, what intercooler did you fit as I have just been looking at the ebay special and I reckon I could get one to fit with pipe run for about £200.00. If you could measure your intercooler that would be cool.

I went for a Nayls special! I'll get measuing tonight, its slightly tight with the hose run and if it really worried me i'd get a grinder to the body BUT i think its my poor installation to be honest!

Feck me Blick that is a long pipe run for a grill mount :laugh: But that is basically the intercooler if not a little smaller that I am looking into

Out of interest how have you kept the rad of the intercooler as I can't see any brackets as I was worried about the rad touching it and rubbing on it eventually causing a hol in the a/c or the rad?

Alright buddy the intercooler is 18cm tall by 59cm long (inc the inlets) and 6.5cm deep!

I cant take pics of the pipe run as there isnt anything in my engine bay at the min but i can bolt the intercooler back in place to give you an idea if you want?

I had to "turn" the carb top to face the offside of the car but wasnt done very well and used the campus pulley with a 10x1075 belt

If you could take a pic of it all together that would be cool :D
Out of interest where did you get your iintercooler from as all the ones I have looked at are 69cm in length which is quiet long

the rad just pushes back enough 2 fit her in.... dont get me wrong! it is a tight fit but ive done a few 1000 miles with it in place now, shes sound with no rubbin etc and she runs cooler than she did b4 :agree: :laugh:
