Chargecooler kits

The first of my water cooled chargecooler kits have landed today, so here is a few pic of what is incorporated in the kit....

PeterG is the first to try it (replacing the 'turbo' pipe with the cooler unit)..


11" x 9" x 1" Alloy water radiator (with 15mm inlet outlets)


13" x 4" Watercooled chargecooler (57mm diameter inlet/outlets)


Billet Aluminium water filler unit


STANT Aluminium Lockable Header cap


Bosch 12v 1250l/hr circulation pump

The kit also includes a 9" thermo fan that bolts to the front of the water radiator..

Looks

Be sure to post some pics of it all fitted!

Looks bonza
Are you bining the intercooler Peter U bend straight to throttle side Less lag Fan included

It does look like a very nice bit of kit...
I guess My A310s wouldn't gain any benefit from it

where would you mount the rad if you was going to keep the intercooler?
does look like a flash bit of kit

Still going to run the intercooler.......it will still help with cooling a bit! I'm not sure whether to mount the rad in the engine bay low down where the spare wheel went or in the front......once Ive got eveything I will decide.

Core..

Blimey

Looks good welding

you must be on a roll this week lee(re:black wheels etc)

To much time on my hands
Anyone need any design work doing

Be great if you could get a before and after rolling road figure. I mounted my rad ain my front spoiler and vented it, but its a different shape to that one. Be less laggy if you ditch the standard cooler but will have a lower charge temp if you keep it

If the charge cooler's efficient I would loop it to the throttle .Any additional cooling would be negated by the pressure drop methinks ...............
It would be easy to confirm, all you need is a U pipe to link the two .

Because of the length of the unit, if you fit a U bend, it will hit the rear screen, because of the long smooth radius needed of the bend..

Running the two together wont make things any worse than they are now will it?

Try both ,I think it should be poss to link direct somehow ,kink down, then bend .The air is going through two restrictions if you leave the intercooler plumbed in ,might not matter much but it's a simple test
