Re: Fitting a second intercooler
I have the 1.9 16 valve. I fully intend to heat shield the intercoolers as I dont like the idea of obscuring the radiator. I m going to fit a 2.4 airbox with a K&N filter, and heat shield/insulate the airbox, I m also going to change the indicators from their current position so I can make the whole in the bumper bigger so more air flows through it. I m simply fitting another intercooler as a cheaper and easier alternative to fitting a larger one. Its currently got an adjustable tuning box fitted (I ll remap when I can afford it) and I m hoping to be able to turn the box "up" without getting smoke as I do now, after fitting new IC (although it only seems to be under load when cold that I get smoke, but turned box down a bit currently). Some manufactureres mount the IC on the top of the engine (Subaru, Peugeot), which I reckon is daft (hot air rises etc), but I dont understand whats wrong with in front of the wing-its at the front of the car for maximum cold airflow but it DOESNT interfere with the radiator.
