intercooler/rad query, quickishish answer appreiciated
Turbo Mini Forums

my cars a clubby and im fitting a cozzy intercooler behind the grill. and am thicking of fitted a metro rad upfront which will be behind the intercooler just wondering if the intercooler and rad is going to still work ok/ efficiently. could i ask peoples opinions on wheather they think this will work.

cheers in advance

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

It should work fine from a temp point of view, a lot of modern cars have the I/c in front of the water rad. Some evn have three layers, with i/c, air con rad and water rad.

The only physical problem you will need to check is if you have enough room depth wise, check that the radiator will fit behind the cooler without fouling the dizzy/alternator.

bloomy hell answered in 2 mins and 30 secs, thanks.

thats exactly what i was thinking tom.

dizzys no probs not got one

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

when i fitted a metro rad in mine, i had to cut away one of the fan supports and also a little off of the tip of each fan blade to clear the dizzy so i can say you WONT get a intercooler infront of the rad too!

DOH, just read u dont have a dizzy.. likewise i dont have one either but its still dead tight. Still dont think it'll fit with a intercooler infront tbh, but have a go.

Mine has a cosworth cooler behind the grill, and the metro rad below that. I had to remove a lot of the front panel to let the iar through, but it works brilliantly







hope these help
