Xs Power Racing Intercoolers

[AshRX]

Hi

Just bought a XS power intercooler as havent got the money for the FMIC yet. Got to admit the build quality of the cooler and the pipework is brilliant for the money and will be 100 times better than the stock IC.

My problem is air intake, as the original duct is useless. Has anyone seen or heard of anyone that sells the air duct for these intercoolers or the Pettit Racing ones as I know they are both the same size?

Thanks

have you fitted it yet? hear you might have a couple of problems doing so.

Do you have a PFC? be interested in knowing if or how it effects your ACT... thanks.

fFitted it on Saturday, but the inlet temp was high as I have no duct in place giving cool air.

As far as the intercooler goes it fits fine with only a few mods to do to make it fit

any one having any luck with these? are they worth getting?

on ebay now for £189 with the piping?

[vxer]

The installation pics on ebay look really bad - the guy has got one turbo intake *behind* the intercooler!

Guess thats not a feature of the intercooler, however - just a bad install...

Ta, Paul.

You can get both intakes in front of the Intercooler with a bit of moving around. They drop temps over the standard IC. Mine will be up for sale soon with all piping. Def worth the money

My current mods are, hks induction kit, decat, hks bov, so could i get one of these intercoolers aswell, but will i need to get it remapped at all?

[AshRX]

I didnt when I had mine done. Checked with Geff at Re-worx ad he said it would be fine until you start really upping the power then you would need to

Just being looking at one of these on e-bay, when fitting the cooler do you have to remove the air pump and use an induction kit, due to lack of space?
just wondering what modifications you need to do to fit one.
Cheers

no mate everything stays where it is.

Only mods that need to be done are the air duct has to be removed comptly or trimmed to accept new IC

see below ( sorry for big photo ) this was mine before i started modding it under the bonnet



The Induction pipes just need trimming to accomodate the IC

[Fats]

looks just the job mate, have you noticed any difference in performance or inlet temps???

Cheers

[AshRX]

yes I have, driving 70-80mph at the mo in this weather im hitting 30-35 degrees which is a lot better than the stock IC. Im selling mine soon

I have seen XS power products used other cars inc. a friend of mines 450BHP
GTS Liner, and it seams to do the job really well especvially for the money.

If any of you are looking @ getting expensive parts for your FD\'s, have a look on ebay.com, even with the shipping costs from the states you can still save a packet.
