Cossie intercooler

[Nottswoody]

So I baught one yesterday (secondhand) top bargain. But Iv just read it can only take a bar?? I run more will it be a prob or will it be ok till I get another? Anyone running this? Had any probs?

[BluntyR5GTT]

Cosworth fmic can run more than a bar no probs fella i run 23 psi on mine and its spot on i.also know lads who own saph.cosworths still on oe cooler running more than a bar.

[andybond]

Another user here with more than a bar ...

[tubbyG]

Im using one of these too and at 20+ psi without any issues, pretty sure blunty is also using one with well over 200bhp from his engine.

would be interesting to see charge temps from various coolers to see how effective they are

[Nottswoody]

Cheers guys next question.. Were am I bolting it too?? Any pics available? I never could do the rubix cube thing Iv got the bumper off ready to fit with all the piping ready

[andybond]

I have been a pikey.

I havent bolted mine to anything. Its not heavy, I let the pipes take the strain.

[Nottswoody]

Or a pic of the pipe work and how it should be?

[andybond]

I cant get a pic at the mo as its wanging it down. ( I hope all the blyton lot have packed up ! )

I can desribe the run tho ?

From the carb top to the front. Just behind the alternator and down to behind the bumper, a final 90 into the cooler

Other side is from snail 90 degrees short run , 90 degrees down and then another 90 deg into the cooler end

[Nottswoody]

Really struggling with the drivers side passengers is easy.. Do I have to chop anything?

[andybond]

No - you shouldn't have to chop anything. It might be tight depending on theeidth f you pie run. Have you a campus bottom pulley?

[Nottswoody]

Nope standard c1j

[andybond]

It will be tight thrn. I had to put on a campus pulley and belt to pull the alternator closer to the block so I could get he pipe behind it.

I've ran one for the past 6-8 years and its been spot on, all alloy construction so no popping. Very well pleased with it.

[Nottswoody]

Iv done it lol proper jipo stylie but hay I'm not after no TROPHIES at shows that's what I took from blyton ideas and knowledge so thanks guys

[andybond]

Not wrong with that!

That's how I have done mine.

I bought a 90 degree dizzy from mike to el prevent kink ( fnar fnar ) on the ht leads.

[Nottswoody]

Nobody told me I had to chop my bumper to bits I look like frosty the snowman. And the mrs is think I will chop it and mesh it over the next week..

[Brizza]

Which cossie cooler did you go for? 2wd or 4x4? With my 2wd one there was only minor modification to the inside of the bumper, fits snug

[Nottswoody]

Think it's 2wd and Iv had to chop all the brases out and the bottoms I will tidy it up easily but was hoping it just slipped in.. SO was guessing that's why everyone has them on show?

[andybond]

You haven't got a chance of getting the 4wd one behind a standard bumper. The 2wd cooler should just need a shave

[Nottswoody]

How can I tell the difference? It must be 4x4 as its Sitting right up to the body and there is no space an so far I shaved at least three quarters of the braces off at the back and I can see me just cutting them out altogether

[Nottswoody]

Just googled it and yep it's 4x4.. Is that good or bad?

[andybond]

Bigger core.
But doesn't fit behind standard bumper.

[Nottswoody]

This I now know I will sort it somehow.. It will be the only body mod I'm doing.. That would be why it was cheap.. Anyone else fitted the 4x4 ic? How much to I cut out?

[Nottswoody]

So it's on and running but I can't tell a bit of difference really glad I only paid £40 for the lot tidies it up I guess but as for performance the pace was just as good really tbh but hey that's modding..

Hi buddy what piping did you use like how many bends did you use an what angle as I've got the same intercooler ready to fit also any pics of where you mounted it
