Intercooler Crazyness
Turbo Mini Forums

Still umming and arrring about getting the intercooler in now its all running
I have a FordRs one ;;; And can i find anywhere to put it; CAN I Fuck !


I still have the brake servo so my only place safely seems to be instead of a grill !!


I think the CosWorth one is long and thin ( ooooer misses )


I was wondering if I could squeez somehting in under my ERA front bumper; with air though the fog light holes and number plate hole !


Anyone ??

I just dont see how I can get the crazy angles that I need as one end will point straight to the block

Jon's got a good chunk of his inner wing cut out aswell

I use a dissy cap off a maestro, it is a side exit cap. Gives me space at the front for the RS intercooler. With the grill on.

Another plan is to undo the bolts that hold the alernator together, and rotate the body so it can hang upwards. You need a different fanbelt and make a few brackets, I investigated this when running a front rad but scrapped the idea in the end. Would have worked though!

** The side exit cap only fits a mini dizzy (the bigger one) so you need to get the advance curve sorted.

Yes Jon's innerwings are cut out but that has nothing to do with making space for the intercooler, i use a series 1 Rs turbo item unlike the more popular S2 version. Go for a S2 as they have proved to be more efficient.

As you should know it is best in the cool air flow for maximum efficiency.

Yeah but isnt your oil cooler in the inner wing? Makes space for other things then....

ill be glad to just get an engine in mine!!!

It does make life alot easier for changing clutches etc, yes my oil cooler juts under the drivers side partially. 5KG less weight to!

Think im loosing the front end completely after this year! Do enjoy working on a flip front car more!
See how i get on, less weight if i can afford a curley one aswell.

If anybodies thinking of doing this though id recommend a 2 piece one every time!!!

seconded, getting access to the dizzy with a 1 piece front hurts my back :(
