Large IC install/pluming

Bry, this one here is similar

nope... my Intercooler is made for the Audi S2, thats not an Universal IC like the ones from Ebay. This is a bolt on Solution, if you dont want to weld or cut anything on your car. The Core Size is 500x220x90.

Nice work Bo and a darn good write up on the thermodynamics of an IC Corey - well done them men

If we incline the IC to the front and make the Crossmember so that it goes allmost like the Original would it not work?

[s2_bo]

Bo could it be possible to keep the A/C compressor by producing a steeinless steel pipe that could make a curve around it and then move up to the inlet manifold tube?

I don't see why not. But the Compressor is quite big and it would increase the already massive length that the air has to travel to reach the IM.

Best other route would be to scrap the AUX rad and stick the pipe wok there... Or Go the reversed inlet manifold route

Mine still had the a/c installed (3b) no probs, but i think the aby a/c pulley on the may stick out a little further, im not sure though.

But you dont have the Aux Rad.

@Bo
If the pipe goes under the main pulley and the A-c compressor then the room is not enough for the pipe i think.

Who was this forum member that had the pipe go from the left behind the engine and up to the stock IM?

Bo,

the IC size you have didn't demand any modifying to the bumper?
I just want to fit an big IC that does not require any modding to the bumper..



cheers,
Anders

Hi Anders.

I did need to trim a little bit of the inside of the bumper.

Only about 0.5 - 1cm though, Same goes for the vents.

It might be possible to get away with out doing this. Depends how much dip you want in the IC and how close you like it to the Crank pulley.

Cheers,
Bo

Does anyone fitted the 600x300x76 core IC like Bo with Air Condition?

I dont see why it wouldn't work, the exit piping would have to go a different route to how i have done it though as the AC compressor will be in the way.
