I have been making some parts to try and create a professional looking fit for charge cooler. I went this route as fitting a FMIC seems to create engine cooling problems, I did not want fit the charge cooler rad in front of radiator for the same reason.
I have mounted the charge cooler rad as shown with cold air feeding from same place as SMIC.
Still have some more work to do, but its starting to look good. Hoping to get car running again soon to see if it will work.

Are you going to RS11 if so see me there on Sunday or Monday. I\'ve had my PWR system on now for some time and can give you a few hints and tips that you will need to know about prior to final fixing. If you are not going then ring me on 07771882430.:wave
I will be going on Monday, will try and catch up with you there.
Cheers
Kev
that is one blinging engine bay.
nice one
I\'ll be running both days, FDUK stand,Montego Blue and the plates will say WARTHOG. So you should be able to find me.:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
If that fails then look for the Biatch as in my Avatar or ring me.:cool
That is one unique engine bay!!
Have you fabricated alloy bits yourself?-even one of the pully belt wheels, on the right, looks posh!!:D
Nice
Pete
Yes all the parts were machined by me, including the pulley. I am making up some pulleys which will be available soon.

Most impressed look forward to seeing it in the flesh on Monday:D
I wish.... Car is a few weeks away from running. :( I will be driving up in the FC :)
thats some nice work uv done there,bet uv spent a few hours sortin all that lot out,
looks really good:D
hi getting a charge cooler soon is the cooler you got the 500 bhp one ,how much you charge to make the braket that holds it in the middle
many thanks barry

Is a charge cooler more effective than a V-Mount ?
Charge coolers are great so long as they are plumbed well, they have the advantage of not interupting air flow to the all important water rad. Both V mount and CC give good air inlet temps the advantage with the CC is you reduce the heat soak associated with air to air coolers because you have coolant circulating all the time the engine is running. I ran one quite successfully in the yellow one for 2+ years and gave very good results.
they are however less efficient at higher boos pressures

Higher boost pressures need more than an intercooler to be safe, you then add WI for those high boost moments:wiggle Having seen data logs of track cars running 1.2bar with CC and large front mounts I know which one I would be having. TBH there is not much between a V and CC apart from the stated lack of heat soak on a well plumbed CC
Quote from: CraigNthey are however less efficient at higher boos pressures
Thats why Abel used to run 2 on what was the fastest RX7 in the world and why the fastest 4wd in world uses an air/water cooler...really down to the system and its intended use. A well put together system is unlikey to cause efficinecy issues at the boost an FD will ever see.
V-mounts are maintenace free tho and probably the way to go - fit and forget and do the job..
