InterCooler Pictures ANd Choices
Turbo Mini Forums

Please guys
Please please please please
I dunno what to do ; I have two intercoolers ... and dont know the best way to go

What do you all think ??
As you can see I am paranoid about number plates but we all know we are a honest bunch ; but that dont mean the rest of the country are !!!!!!! You lot should follow my lead and blank your registrations out .
Or am I just far to PARA


Options

1) RS Turbo intercooler cut into the grill with mesh around it ; Like an unsightly lump in my grill ... Looks wise ... Suppose would look ok Performance wise ... most say this is a good IC

2) Sierra IN ontop of my front spoiler , mebe with a ,esh grill behine or a cut out in the bottom of the grill
Looks wise ???? Performance wise supposed 2 b a good IC ??
I know its back to front in the pics !!!

3) Somehow get the Sierra one under my front spoiler and cut away number plate section so it sits in there ??




Please

anyone

please

i reckon use the RS intercooler, this is for two reasons..
1: dave has one on his car and it is quoted in minimag that he has done a lot of research and found the RS to be a very good intercooler,
2: I want the sierra one off you! :) :) :)
DAN :)

id fit the smaller one as it looks easier to fit and is probably perfect for the boost youll be running
i wouldnt worry about blanking your number plates out coz at some stage your cars will pop up in mini mag or mini world or on some other website where somebody has photo'd abunch of minis at some show or another

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

yes i had used the RS turbo intercooler and i had no problems when i was running it, I even had 170 + brake with it on to.

Place your cossie one in front of your plugs and picture a few holes in your bonnet instead...

You'll have to get new pipes TIG'd onto it, but that's a good chance to put 50, rather than 60mm pipes in there to keep things simple!

if you go for the cossie one ill be more than happy to take the rsturbo one off your hands!
ive pm'ed you

I don't understand why you need ot hide your numberplate. am I missing something?

I am just a paranoid chap ;;

I have had people on the net ask me b4 where I live , what engine you got, , what cars you got, have you a garage, what tools you use, and questions like that ,
And i know of people that have had stuff nicked b4

I think the more clues you give people , the more risks you are taking

because at the end of the day; klike I said, we all know each other ; and thats great , but there are thousands of other looking here all the time who we dont know


I am going to shut up know as I sound like a khunt

i think I am going for the RS one
Where I have it in the picture it will be quite easy to run the pipework I think

got some 90degree bends in 51 mm
and a load of 54mm straights

I rekon use 2 inch pipework and I should be done

I am not sure if the 54mm straights will cause a problem though

but Am going to go for it !!
