Ebay full of soo many i confused now so iw ant people to post up there suggestions and recomendations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted March 19, 2009 I fitted a landrover TD5 intercooler, big enough and fits a treat without any cutting. Might want to look at the Merc sprinter one too, or perhaps a universal fit :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slimg60 0 Posted March 19, 2009 It is mate, thats why I went for it. I picked one up for £30 and haven't had to chop any of the front of my car off fitting it. It seems to be the perfect fit, wide enough to clear the rad and thin enough to fit in the space. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilfuzzer 1 Posted March 19, 2009 My mate has a sprinter one in his mk2 from memory seems not too thick might be worth a look cause you may get one quite cheap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slimg60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDSC00946.JPG[/attachment:1qm4zl3m] DSC00956.JPG[/attachment:1qm4zl3m] These are a couple of pics, it's fairly slim, about 40mm I think :shrug: I know it's thin enough to fit between the rad and slam panel without chopping anything off :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado_sunderland 0 Posted March 20, 2009 sp how long is the standard radiator then? can anyone tell me as ill get this aftermarket intercooler, and did your full front end unbolt or was there bonded parts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 I cant remember how long the rad is, I'll nip out in the morning and measure it if you need to, Yer the whole front end unbolts, takes about 20-30 minutes to get bumper, slam panel and lights etc off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado_sunderland 0 Posted March 20, 2009 measures mine there and its 790mm or 31" ish that really long, my rad realy slim too as it had air con Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado_sunderland 0 Posted March 20, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRONT-MOUNT-INTER ... 240%3A1318 too big? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 To be honest anything will fit, it just depends how much you want to chop off the front of your car. I'm not sure how much room you'll have as I have a normal, non air con rad so I perhaps had less room :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado_sunderland 0 Posted March 20, 2009 i kno tha intercooler will fit, the first one i suggested not long enough but i mean will it be too laggy with it on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted March 20, 2009 it's not so much lag, but you'll lose a bit of "punch" if the intercooler is too big as your then filling a bigger space, the ebay on looks like it'll work too though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted March 20, 2009 With it been on a turbo though you will get a quicker turbo spool because there is less resistance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
