Fitting A Charge Cooler!!!
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello im indecisive whether to use a Intercooler or a Charge Cooler on my Turbo. At the moment My mate has offered me his pace charge cooler (?250.00). The only thing im worrying about is trying to squeeze the radiator infront of the engine(without Damaging). It don't look like it will fit but has anyone done this before? Im willing to cut the front but not so madly you notice.

Cooling Radiator is 500mm by 140 by 80mm.

Can I do It I cant afford to Lose ?250.00 if it don't fit. Help!

no real point. a good intercooler requires less work and does a good job. takes up less space, is cheaper...

I love chargecoolers, but i'm with Iain, they're just not worth the bother on a mini.

Maybe Yes i do agree but its diffrenet having a charge cooler. If i did have one could i fit the radiator upfront?

probably, if not, get a different rad for it.

What Other Radiator`s can Use then?

any! air con ones are good.

Ok Cheers Alex Ill Post some pictures of My Progress so far. The only other thing i need to finish my project is braided fuel lines do you know wheres the cheapest place to order and the length for a fuel line to and return line?

Talk to Iain, I bet he can supply you some.

you should be able to pik up a desent intercooler for 5o quid i rekon so thats 200 quid to spend else where

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
