I need to squeeze an intercooler in somewhere! I have about a fly's dicksworth of space left and not much room for intercooler pipes etc. So this grill mounted thing that k tec sells, anygood?? Do they come up second hand at all?? Looks like my only option as even a CC could be out.
I have a grille mounted intercooler,it's not a k-tec one though,just a universal core & pipework off ebay that i put together.
i'l get you a pic in a minute if you like?
as you can see,you would'nt need to chop any of the bumper or grille,you would'nt even know that it's there.
Thats what im after chief!!! Any links to where i could get one??
Frontera 2.5 tdi intercooler that ive got fitted to the van might be worth a look mat, cheap as chips & fits in nicely between the headlamps.
sorry to be a hi-jacker of threads, what was it like to pipe up mr briggsy ?
5 is looking good Nayls.. Just need rid of those side skirts
thats what i have the frontera intercooler,and have to say fits like it was made for the 5,its also really slimline but takes up the full area between the lights,cost me 50 notes brand new of e-bay
i'l have a look in a minute & see if i can find where i got it fromOriginally Posted by MATT C Ringworm Tuning

A doddle really mate, Couple of 90deg stainless bends, 4x silicone 90 deg bends & a 45deg silicone bend.sorry to be a hi-jacker of threads
Brigsy thats the doggs dick me old. One of them will do. I would need a tight 90 to the throttle body and some hardpipe from other side to the TD04 comp housing.

Very crudewhat so that it looks sinister rather than closet shirt lifter?
Matt, that 'looks' like a THS unit, very similar to the forge fm104...dont quote me though yeaNever mind that , tell us what make the front mounts is.....
THS use the same intercoolers as several other company's, they just charge slightly more.
You can usually find them on Ebay for pennies.
Does it matter that it sits infront of the radiator?
Not until i get confirmation that the spoiler is on it's wayNever mind that , tell us what make the front mounts is.....
Not really, the coolant temps on my van are fine.

will do mate! it def looks the part.... hopefully i can fit it this wknd, if not it will def b the wknd after. cant really moan 4 68 notes
Nayls, can you measure the cooler you have, cos the one in the link looks bigger than that. have you cut out the sections where the the grill retaining lugs fit into??http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Performance-FM...d=p3911.c0.m14

the 1 nayls put the link up about is abit bigger mate.... i ordered it and had2 put it upside down, still waitin on my pipework that i ordered the other wk. go hav a look in my engine pics as an idea, got it mounted.
as you can see,you would'nt need to chop any of the bumper or grille,you would'nt even know that it's there.
Nice bumper.
nayls, can you tell me if you had to fit a shorter alternator belt and a campus crank pulley for the pipework to route through to the i.c..? also what diameter piping are you using.?
Yeah,sure mate,it sjould be the same as it's the same number i got!
no,all i had to do is unclip the rad & push it towards the engine so that the grille could sit flat & i choppd the end of the alternator arm.
Nice bumper.
what exactly is wrong with it?
standard belt & pulley, just chopped the end of the alternator arm off.
the 90 degree pipes off the cooler are 63-51 reducers & the rest are 51mm.
fpmsl.....It looks like you've run over a chicken coup.
I'm looking at buying a PWR
