what happens to the front engine mount ? does he use the s6 type?i,m doing a similar thing but using scania truck core ( not all of it of course )

[Jaap]

S6

Yes, from a S6/S4 but this is not posible for a Urq, because the front bumper differs a lot.

Damian's charge cooler install is neat - and it is a LOT better than stock:

Reservoir and electric pump:

Charge cooler sitting behind the bumper (it is hard to get good pictures as there is not much room)

Hi

Did you take any inlet air temperatures post chargecooler?

I believe he has the GT3071R fitted did you map it, what are your thoughts on it.

I'm thinking of getting one for my 10v URQ although I may go for the smaller GT2871R as I prob won't make full use of the larger one

Those are the Behr two stage intercooler that were fitted to the early T35 equipped Escort Cosworth.

you are quite correct. I was thinking only of the Sierra's (because that's what i have knowlage of). At the risk of hurting someone's feelings, i stayed away from the Escorts after the "Sierra Experience"!

I'm considering a RS2 setup (turbo, manifold, injectors++) on my 20V UR. The stock intercooler is far from ideal - but can it support say 330-360bhp? I know Mihnea managed 350 or so on a RS2'd S4...don't think the S4 IC is much better?

Whatever large intercooler you chose to fit you are going to have to do some modifications.

I designed one that fits in front of the main radiator for the 10v I have done 2 for the 20v although with the RR inlet it makes the pipe work quite long. A front facing inlet would be better to reduce the inlet tract.
Although if you want the ultimate, you would need to remove the whole front panel to recreate something like Jaap has done, that is the best solution.

[Urquattro20V]

Yes this is all known to me, but if I can get a decent setup with RS2 turbo and stock IC that would make my day

If I have to fit a FMIC and front intake, I might as well go for tubular EM, GT3071 and uprated conrods+++

arrrghh

Whats the cheapest and most efficient option out there? my brother has got a ur with a 20v engine with a rs2 turbo. He only has the the standard intercooler. Has been suggested he goes for the rs2 intercooler but that cost big money with the modifications neede to fit it. Any suggestions? He is loosing a lot of power because of this at the moment as the temps are to high. Also he is being very careful at the moment because of this and he wants to unleash the potential. Cheers

performance isn't cheap, if you are able to do the work yourself then it is only the cost of the intercooler, my setup costs £675.00 plus shipping, but if you have to pay someone elses labour then that when it starts getting expensive.
Although my labour rates are very competitive
