No Intercooler Running at 10psi ?
Turbo Mini Forums

Would i really need a Intercooler Running at 10psi ?
As i have worked out, that with all the stuff i have in there, there be no room..
What big difference would it make ?
Cheers

there will be room so fit one. lol

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

If it is a standard engine, I don't recommend it, do so at your own risk...........but don't be suprised if something melts or breaks.

how much power do you want?
what CR?

you can run any boost with no IC... but if you have to retard the timing a mile to stop it detting there is no point.

i have a Van with the original round front, non removable grill, rover cooper brake servo etc and i still had room for an intercooler!

I have the mk1 rad at the front, an oil Catch can made up, and its real tight in There...
The pic was what My car used to look like.

But now its just had a make over, Which has not been finished yet.
But it will be the same set up.
Anyway. ive done a search and come Across Tim's (known as Metro Turbo) Post. and he had that intercooler on his MG metro turbo car. So i thought, hmm That could work.
So this is what it would look like if i did It his way.

Not sure where i would mount it.
Would that work efficient enough ?

Steve's doing my cylinder head.
Remove the main bottle necks in the Head, the valve guide bosses, fit new Manganise guides seals and double Race springs, 180 pound pressure ones RPM up to 7500. cut new seats, clean All The valves up, re seat lap in.
Compression lowering in the Combustion chambers to 8.4:1.
Cut Out 28cc in there..

Cheers..
P.s guess ya right, there is room lol

It will fit in honest. I managed to get one in my round nosed all steel sheel that has a Mk2 Metro rad in the front.

It's not realy about needing the intercooler, It's about the extra 20hp you will get because of it.

Do the job properly and fit the IC.

The IC is so important, I would suggest putting a standard mini radiator in to make room for it.

If you've got a clubby, fit a 2WD Cosworth one. There isn't a single excuse not to.

Lower the radiator ..... it could be dropped a good few inches!!!! Think of the improvement in handling by having the weight of all that water lower ...

Any air going over the IC will be warm anyway if you don't.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

I've got a steel roundnose with a brake servo and a 2wd cossie cooler!

And the bonnet uses it's original catch and hinges (at it's original height!)

You just need to try harder!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Loadsa room for a 2wd, although have to say im not convinced its the best option!

Gavin,

Sure am, it's one of those SF45 Jenvey throttle bodies with 2 injectors, so a wet manifold setup. Running about 11 psi at the moment but I'll be lifting it to more like 15 now I'm happy it's all working ok.
Regards

Neil

Someone like Pace Products will build you a one off to any dimensions (they built mine) but you'll need a large wallet or an understanding bank manager!

allard motorsport may also be able to sort you something, little bit less than pace but you will still want a fairly big wallet
