THS fmic

[strapper]

Ordered a THS fmic yesterday and can't wait to get it on to see the differance also picked up an Audi 4 bar FPR to help it along the way!
I will get pics up soon as it's complete

Soo excited

 

[J4M3S]

would be interested seeing this.

any pics?

Why you gonna use a 4bar with an APR map, they dont use them.

 

[strapper]

For when I upgrade to a stage 2 map plus a little more fueling woudn't go wrong

 

[cupra collins]

which ths intercooler did you get iv got the type one think these look wicked on the ibizas

 

[big eck]

how much do they cost

 

[cupra collins]

 

[cupra collins]

in total it cost me just over £200 fitted it myself cooler itself cost bout £100

 

[Cupra_G]

Thats the one strapper bought! I'll be pooping round to his house when it arrives to see how easy it is before I tackle it!

fyi i think putting on a 4bar fpr without it being mapped to suit is a bad idea

 

[PhilW]

Ditto above.

same here , done that with my s3 , and it slowed the car right down , bad idea

Yeah it's the type 1 ave got not fitted it yet but as soon as it's on I will get the pics up.

What mods do APR specify that are required for stage 2?

 

[cupra collins]

how u planning on fittin it just seeing if you go a better idea than how i did it

 

[strapper]

Same idea really. Bolt the intercooler to the bumper bar and take both pipes up the same side that the standard ones go. Did you need to remount the left hand side of the a/c condenser? How much of the bumper did you cut out and at what sides?
Spoke to a lad in Rosyth the other week he had fitted one and he had the bumper off showing me how it was done, exactly the same as yours. Its a much better looking core than the forge one!

 

[cupra collins]

i welded two bits of steel to the crash bar then hung the intercooler off that. yeah i had to move the left hand side back of the ac condensor. i cut bout 30mm off the middle bar of the bumper and up the sides of it level with the fog lights. I also had to cut some of the metal frame work out around the toeing eye and the over side of the intercooler to get the pipe work in? yeah i fink it looks much better than the forge one and you save a few pennies doing it like this?

Anyone have any logs of these THS coolers, because i've heard mixed reports about them. In the market for a cooler myself over the winter so any definative info would be handy.

 

[cupra collins]

dont have any logs but it felt like a good improvement

 

[strapper]

Must be good as I said it's a good core, wider than a forge therefore a chillier intercooler.
Yeah that lad had to take a bit off the towing eye, don't think he had to cut the cooler though?
My car will be on the rollng road on the 1st of December so I will post the results of the bhp figures

 

[cupra collins]

i ment i cut the frame work the over side of the cooler not the cooler itself. Mines hopefully going on the rollers soon be good to not what its running
