ur large front mount intercooler

[robbie100hp]

hi new here, iv got a 20v ur that i had a front end smash in, so iv decided to front mount it but without going sport front end.
Has anybody ever done this before and still hidden it?
Im going to have to cut the front apart any way!
Also have people used intercoolers with inlet n outlet on the same? Because im not too sure how to run the outlet back to the inlet manifold
any help or pic would be great

Use a Wagner reverse inlet manifold so the inet will now be on the right hand side of the car and there is a guy named hank from the states that put a front mount in his ur but I don't remember what size it was and it was a tight fit too .

Hank would be able to help you out with that. He also has a site up now

Both set ups has been done, there is ur with front intercooler running 500hp and there are few twin intercooler set ups as well.

Here's what I've got with Da Monstah. This car has put down 755 wheel hp and has a new billet wheel turbo that will promise more. The core of the FMIC measures 24"x10.5"x4".





Hap, wit dakine FMIC not from Evahboost, Maguire

I like what you have done on the front end of your UR with cutting the bit inbetween the headlights and I`m assuming just made brackets for underneath.

Have you got the bottom section cut too? that would help taking the engine in and out.

I have brackets holding up the I/C from bottom.
I did not cut the main crossmember, wanted to keep the sheetmetal as original as possible... it hurt me a lot cutting just the upper support, but there was no choice.
I hope not to be taking the engine out ever again..

Ur-q is a PITA when it comes to room for nice FMIC. S2 is so much better in that respect.

there is my setup, not tested on the road yet
size 470x230x65 car running aby unit with around 315-320 bhp
is's got a bracket made up from under the intercooler. inplace of the front engine mount.
and you have to modify alternator bracket a bit/ make it longer.
main issue is the distance/clearance between intercooler and engine. i have about 30mm clearance.
hope it helps.

I may add my setup is completely different from the
post above, as it is fitted with power steering pump and alternator in original
Places. And it is standard inlet manifold, not aan or mtm,Wagner . It was hard, very hard, but can be done...

I'm just about the use Porsche 944 turbo intercooler with modified end tank (turned 90 deg) in stock location. Just can't bring myself to cut the bar between the headlights. If that ain't cool enough for 380hp then I will mount a second intercooler front of the rad. Just a thought.

That intercooler is more then enough for 380, if you measure this one against rs2 one they are more or less the same size.
This option also has been done by someone I know but this way is allot of work.
