[Mk2] [Turbo] Intercooler/chargecooler

[Ruishy1]

Does anyone think its possible to fit the cosworth inter/chargecooler to a rev 1 turbo ?

trying to modify my car on the cheap, and this is a plausible alternative to the celica chargecooler.

where could i fit it ?

just throwing some ideas about

[Quigonjay]

i assume it was a front mount intercooler?
the only place it CAN go is the boot

it was yes, after getting the measurements for it i realise it was far too big

il just need to kep my eye open for semthing else

[Quigonjay]

you wouldnt consider putting it in the boot?
quite a popular mod these days
try the search ^^^^, sure it will throw up a few threads on the subject

[Ruishy1]

Yeah ive seen the boot mount, but dont want to go that far, and if i did, i would use a large intercooler, as the cosworth chargecooler is not a big afair, and it would be a lot of work for relatively small gains

[Quigonjay]

hang on a minute, i saw the cosworth bit in the first post and assumed we where talking about a front mount intercooler, now i'm not so sure
is it an intercooler or a chargecooler?
if its an intercooler is the standard one or an uprated front mount one?

I considered using a chargecooler from a Focus RS before I got my ST205 one. I never got round to measuring one but it looks compact enough. All depends how comfortable you are at making your ow pipe work up.

some of the escorts were fitted with a FMIC similar to the 4x4 one, but it had a small chargcooler atachd to the end of it

Just bought this

i have lots of pipes/hose kicking about, and a water container, all i need is a rad and a pump and im laughing

[Quigonjay]

so, its a chargecooler then
plenty of places for it to go then
there is just enough space at the front for an extra rad
the core can go in a number of places depending on the shape/size and orientation of the inlet and outlet
some custon items have been fitted in the air filter corner of the engine bay, the rogue item replaces the space freed up by removing the standard intercooler, a number of custom ones have also been fitted in the boot (easier done if using a custom inlet manifold)

[Ruishy1]

the boost inlet/outlet pipes are ontop of one another going by the pic, so think il stick it where the intercooler is instead, and wont take much to massage the pipes there

Il go to my local place and get a cinquecento (sp?) radiator this weekend, now all i need is a cheap pump, and the whole caboodle should only cost around 100 odd quid

[Ruishy1]

Who know much about pumps ?

would this be suitable for the chargecooler ?
