My Mini build diary

i have this & an seried 2 rs turbo type, not sure what i'll use but i got this for £20 & its all alloy & an OE intercooler not a cheapo copy so i'm presuming it should be ok in the respect of how it flows, i'll have to make mounts whichever cooler i fit so...............hmmm the thing is you cant make this one subtle really

to me it says one of two things

1 i've got a huge turbo under the bonnet so don't mess with me

2 look at my mini!

one thing is for sure, you'll get plenty of cold air!

im sorry mate but i dont like it. it spoils the look of your car imho.

it will defo work tho.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Yes i'm with Carl, But i'm sure it will work well, just spoils the car mate, as it looks like an after market add on, which it is i guess

you did ask :o

yep not a fan to be honest, try and hide something else in there.

will it not go behind the front panel? or do you have a front mounted rad in there?

Bit open to damage from stones and lads on the street for kicking. LOL If you keep it here cove it with some grille

it takes some doing to do it right !! ...........................................

....But if you have the time and a few bob Hats Off!

Remember! an intercooler is not the icing on the cake ITS............ MORE CAKE!

Edited by BENROSS on 5th Jul, 2007.

I am not really a fan of intercoolers hanging out the front, but this intercooler is so massive I like it

I suppose it depends whether you are after looks of performance.

At the end of the day do YOU like it?? Just remember you aint gunna impress everyone round here! Personally i dont think it looks too bad, but i prefer the classic look overall.

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

it'll polish up a treat feebs which i'll do i think!

i do agree with the majority to be honest its a bit OTT for my liking, i'm a fan of the oldschool understated/standard-ish looks with a quick motor, for those that know who mick rogers & mick wilkes at the drag strips you'll have an idea of my car tastes

to be honsest with you all i did think it was alot smaller lol i thought it was 2wd/4wd cozzy size!!! frickin suprised when i picked it up but........if it offered a lil extra performance over a smaller one then i could make it to fit for trackdays/drags/sprints, swappable between the rs turbo one i have, i reckon it was good for the money really

i cant stop laughing at the pic of my mini at the top, it nearly looks as bad as that mini with the funny "nose" bonnet

if i fitted it i would be a bit worried about ppl kicking it & poking about!

theres no real way i can make it look stealthy its so blummin big!

Hi,
Go with the RST one, they're pretty good for the size unless you're running massive boost.

My Mini build diary

I actually quite like it,

IMO it looks a bit old school racer, I guess because its not mega shiny...

Kinda reminds me of the front bit on the racing arbarth fiat 500's.

for the road its probably a bit ott looks wise, might bring unwanted attention, I'd put provisison in to fit it, maybe have the S2 one for the road and swap that one on for the track?

I REALLY wanted to get an intercooler into the same position but behind the grille on my mk1 as with the 7 port there isn't really anywhere else to put it. The starter motor and dizzy are the main probs when doing this, I "relived" the transfer housing to gain an extra 10mm and as i'll be going injection i can loose the dizzy.

Heres the thread if you havent seen it.

I wonder if it would radiate more heat if it was painted black?

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

Looks a bit too chunky hanging off the front for me. Would be pukka if you could mould a small front fairing up for it so it blends in slightly more. Maybe sticking out an inch or so.
On 2nd look that is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGEEE I/C so maybe not as easy as it sounds.

blimmen great!!if it gets to be too much after trying it you can allways change it .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

if your car to given stick, then use it and abuse it, if it not try hide the intercooller, me i dont worry what other pepole think

Will it not mount under the line of the bumper? That way it wouldn't be so noticeable.

There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake.

theres loads of space behind the bonnet/above the slam panel. but you will need holes in the bonnet.

or under the wing and feed it via ducts from the grill + use an electric fan to assist air flow
