beavis 0 Posted November 11, 2003 Handed my resignation in last week to Royal Mail to finish my Health and saftey managers position there this saturday to pursue the Pitstop Developments venture full time. Liam will be following suit in the near future aswell. So as of next saturday I will be lurking round our unit in sussex we share with darren from G-werks full time tinkering with G40's, G60's and Mini's all day. Would just like to thank the contiued support of all on the forum who have made it possible for us to build the business up. We will have a lot more time now to concerntrate on new projects, that ourselfs are doing in conjunction with Darren (G-werks) carry out work a lot more efficenly and be avalible all of the time for people to pop down at there convience. Hopfully there will be some nice x-flow G60 with shiney forged pistons rolling though the doors soon. Again, many thanks. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Good luck, just a wee question you mention a Intercooler conversion on your site but I can't see any info on this on your website. Is the conversion for a G60 Cheers Sandy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beavis 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Ye, got a lot more time to start new projects and finish ongoing one's. Here is a intercooler darren has welded up, took us a while to source quality parts for the conversion. This car is at the unit as we speak and should be finished over the next few days. Will post the photo's of the finished job, as and when. Time has been the main issue in the past, but now there plenty more scope to get the ball rolling good and proper. Updating the website bit by bit with new bits and pieces to fill in the gaps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted November 12, 2003 errr, air flow? it won't be too clever with the pipes fitted like that. :? and intercooler half the size, but with the fittings for the hoses on the ends would work far better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beavis 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Nothing is set in stone with it yet, like I say, things are ongoing projects. We have started with one idea on other projects and have finished them completly different from the original design. To be honest with intercoolers there is that much turbulence in them though the matrix maximising flow into them is not really a issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GazzaG60 0 Posted November 12, 2003 the piping on my front mount is similar to that. i have a few problems with boost hoses coming off the U-bend. if its anything like mine there isn't room for bigger endtanks with outward facing in/out 's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W3RKD 0 Posted November 12, 2003 as far as the pipework is concerned this is really the only way to have a half decent sized cooler into the fron of the corrado.. the header tanks are shaped to aid the flow into and through the core as yes wee all know inlets/outlets at 90deg to the core are not the best but we have to work with what space we have in the front of these cars and this is about the best comprimise we have found i have tryed around 10 differant shape/sized coolers in corrado's and this one is about the best so far that i have found... gazza. pipe work blowing off on the u bend ? what u bend are you using does it have swaged ends ? as this should solve your problems...

PhatVR6 0 Posted November 12, 2003 How about utilising the space under the chassis legs at the front and coming in from the ends? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
