Intercooler Help
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi People Need a bit of help lol.

Can anyone tell me what size and angle pipework are needed for a metro turbo engine in a mini. Also what intercooler is best and less hassle to fit as i know they fit renault 5 gt turbo and landrover series 2 intercoolers? All advice is appreciated.

Many thanks jay.

In short no.

I don't know of two minis with the same IC set-up, so what hoses you need will be specific to your install but if it helps most people run 2" diameter hoses.

As for IC choice the Ford RS turbo & the 2WD Cosworth IC are quite popular. I quite like the look of the Fiat one that Paul S has in his car.

Hi, thanks for the info, that help alot as im getting confused with all this lol. also does one end of the intercooler pipes go from the plenum and the other from the turbo housing? as ive got an ait filter there. confused.com lol
