Mounting a Rallye U bend

[2_Door_fun 0]

Morning all.

 

At last I have an original outlet minus bolts...

 

So my Etos disc is no longer working :shrug: Does anyone know what I need to mount it up I know its a few bolts but anything else.. Part No's or a diagram.

 

Cheers

U bends? That will seriously hinder performance from a thermodynamics point of view, you want as shallow an angle as possible not a 180 degree bend!

 

Is there nothing else that can be used?

Interested tohear how you get on with fitting this, as we couldn't get one to go on a mates corrado. The strengthening bar is in the way :?

I think looking at it the best way is to make up some new mounts for the radiator to sit futher back in the engine bay as the boost pipes wont be in the way of the fan anymore. Then you will also get more distance between the radiator and the intercooler

Hi.

 

I don't drive the C for power or anything like I drive it cos its a great car.. Once fitted with the Golf Rallye front mount IC there is no other way to go. The IC runs the full front of the car and you need to spin the charge air down to it.. VW spent along time developing the IC so I reckon the U will do just fine.. After all it was a full blown rally car.

 

However I do understand what you mean.. Previous cars have always been tinkered with Saab turbo's S1 & 3 RS Escorts and previous G60's.. first time I fitted the Rallye IC its been an adventure.

Fair enough matey, if you're happy running a U bend then it doesn't matter. After all you said you're not after power so it should be ok.

Morning Neil..

 

Just to let you know.. The Corrado lower support bar is to long for the Rallye outlet.. What is needed is the short bar that sadly was made obsolete April this year.

 

Tried to get one today but no joy.

 

So its adapting the old one or doing without.
