Well im taking off the air pump to send away to pip to get something in it fixed as well. Hopefully it shouldn\'t take more than a few weekends to sort out. Im not removing as much as you and using the original plastic y pipe (for the min)

Has anybody got any good how to\'s on removing all the intercooler and radiator. Seems to look like a start at the top and work down but just wondering if there is any interesting points ??

Cheers for all the info.

im currently doing the same - but fitting custom mount intercooler ally rad and a few other bits n bobs, still waiting on other hoses to come so i can get on, trying to get the car back on the road for april, :)

shaun. I would start off by removing the air box and various pipes to it. then the battery, then intercooler.  The rad only has 2 nuts which hold it down. do you have any diagrams..... or need

I\'ve got the 1993 workshop manual pdf, and been reading it. Trying to get as much info before it all comes out. The intercooler has been modded to sit lower, so that may make some more problems. The battery isn\'t a problem now ! Got a pure lead in the boot all wired in :)

I suppose its that first look over the ledge thinking what have i done i need to get over. Will definately get there and hopefully should be in and tuned by rotorstock !

Although may want to do a couple of other things before i have it tuned. What are the next size injectors available ?

Looking forward to it running at more than 0.5 bar (yep, you read it right, still only at 7psi !!! from rebuild)


Cheers Guys

it does sit very high as a standard unit which is why i got the nx kit. It may cause you problems with the air con condensor.  it may be in the way.
once air the air box and ic is out it should look like this. this is a tad messy.... LOL

junk that and it changes to this

i moved mine so its sits tight to the front cross member. Its about 1inch further forward which helped with the rad.

Had an email from woolfe saying that they only supply to canada and usa. What a complete farse. Whats the point in having international shipping on their web page. Talking to a company called tube craft in the uk that may be able to help. Depends on the wall thickness available.

Keep you updated !
