ok so where would you suggest i put a large cooler ... i have a full length rad at front under that i have oil cooler .. at the side i have air filter ..

put the cooler in front of the rad behind the grille.

i knew u were gonna say that ... the cooler i bought 1st was a Subaru STI ..now not going back on my word with APBellamy just got a R5 cooler .. none of which will fit infront of the Rad ...

then move the rad or oil cooler.

the intoer cooler needs to go in front of either of these (or more correctly not behind) as they will warm it up, making it fairly pointless.

To get the R5 one in you will need to trim the front panel a little behind the grille, then there should be room to fit it with the rad etc.

If the i/c hadn't already been picked up I would have put a pic up showing what I mean.

If I was going turbo in my clubman I would have used it myself, but I'm not....

Just keep trying. I've had about 6 now and only 2 have been on the car. You just need to find out what works or what you need to change to get it to work.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

angle grinder and improvisation will make anything work.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Just bang one on the bumper! Loads of people are fitting all types of engines in minis and they manage to find the room.

y not some one volunteer to give me a hand with it .... pipeing it back up etc etc ..

i would but im miles away, its simple make some brackets and lower the rad, move the oil cooler abit as well, put the rad at abit of an angle put the R5 ic on its side so both ports are like this : ontop of each other in behind the grill and bobs your uncle you have a fmic, fmr and fmoc :) simples

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

I'll take picture of my clubby tomorrow and show you how I would do it...

WTF is fmic, fmr and fmoc ..? ... Cheers AP ... i mean it is tight in there .. even the dizzy cap touches the rad which am not happy about

where can i get one of these caps .. and would it fit on my 123 dizzy ... its all go init :(

you need a slightly longer lead for number 2 or 3 if you fit this. You also have to trim it as just has holes for the screw in typ dizzys. took me 5 minutes to fit it on my car. saves getting your leads caught in your fan.

What side of the rad is your fan on and how big is it??

ditch the dizzy and get megajot.

ok it will cost a bit more but you will end up doing it in the end anyway!

i have shit loads of room in the front of my clubby even with a front mounted rad.

I often find myself tempted to swap my round nose front for a clubby front, just for the ease of fitting everything in with the clubby front!

i would too, but the thought of a clubman pickup makes me feel sick....

we decided to mount the IC in the space for the origional rad ... see if that works

It's not going to get much cool air there. I'll get that pic up in a bit...

If it's in under where the original rad shroud is air should flow across it like a side mount radiator.

Not the absolute best setup for performance but if he is stuck for space at the front with a metro radiator, dizzy and oil cooler it may be the best solution for him.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

pipes should line up well with the plenidnidum and boost pipe...

what the hell is a plenidnidum..? would this be from Krypton..?
