Could anyone with a 2wd cosworth intercooler and a front mounted rad post some pictures up of their install please?

I'm trying to decide on pipe routing and what hoses i'll need.

I've got a clubby removable front, obviously the IC would be best directly behind the grille, but will the front mounted rad get enough airflow being sat behind the front panel? ie underneath the grille.

Also, what diameter are the inlet/outlets on the 2wd coolers?

Thanks alot chums.

see my build thread, i just done one. now that i have the pipes measured right, will get em made out of one peice stainless instead of the joins :)

http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...d=151131&fr=200

the cooler fits square on with the slam pannel, my cooler has the outlets at 90 deg, usualy the outlet nearest the water pump is like summit around 45 deg, it still works the same for routing though.

hope this helps

Gonna have a go at the 90deg rotated waterpump end outlet I think.



Will have a 90deg off the turbo, to a 90deg reducer on the modded outlet.

Then a 45deg reducer off the other outlet to a 45deg onto the side of the plenum, or a straight reducer to 2 x 45deg bends onto the front of the plenum depending which type plenum i'll go for.

What ID pipes you guys using 50mm?

I bought mine off the bay from a shop called autoperformance, top company to deal with and good quality product too!

Oh and next day delivery! *happy*

Using 52mm,60mm and 70mm now. Lol
Kept the majority of the hoses to 52mm where I could.

iam running 52mm pipes, i cut the pendulumnumnumnumn and the samco hose slots onto it nicely, Rich, I have another 2wd cooler with 90 deg outlets but it has an aluminium box welded around it, this could be cut off and it would be ready to go, if its any use to you, if you pay the postage its ures.

Sounds brilliant mate if youre sure? How much would you like for the postage? And whats the ally box for??

it was converted into a charge cooler i had it mounted in my inner wing, the boost pipe went through the bulkhead and then back into the backside of a modded plenum (or that was the plan) the second outlet went straight to the turbo, the runs were nice and short and i was going to put the reservoir in the rear bin behind the passenger, was only when i found out how much the water pumps were that i sacked the idea and went with normal air cooled jobby. he box can be cut off and it would be ready to go as an air cooled cooler ala like mine *wink*
