how i fitted my uni intercooler

[sparkie1984]

well nothing concrete yet, but decided im gonna keep the car for a bit (was gonna sell in a month) so im looking at at least a ko3s now (eventually hybrid) so will probably upgrading this cooler to something more substantial as funds allow! got enough to be getting on with at the mo though, just ordered exhaust.

 

[sparkie1984]

yeah thats my mate james!! i was so embarrased lol. wheels look ok though dont they

Cool, same here mate got a dp and cat on the way and loads of internals coming for my engine rebuild so funds are a limited!!!


His wheels look awesome wouldn't look right on a different colour car!

 

[sparkie1984]

i thought my car looked particularly nice on the back of the aa low loader

 

[Cupra20]

Widdowds was next to mats silver ibiza and has got a an aftermarket rear spoiler, awesome car was my insperation for a while aswell.

i had a go at fitting my intercooler today (universal) struggeld with the metal pipe that goes under/by the front engine mount its soo tight that i abandond the task and left it for another day. Any more pics from everyone would be helpful thanks

 

[Cupra20]

What do you mean it looked tight, what against the engine mount or not lining up with the OE pipe?

 

[adam20vT]

its basically rubbing against the mount too much for my liking, am going to take it to work do it on a ramp think on the floor was just too much hassle.

 

[sparkie1984]

There's loads of pics around mate mine should do you, maybe you not using the right hoses. You mean re engine mount underneath don't you? Should clear that ok

 

[adam20vT]

i got the whole kit off ebay soo not sure if can get hoses wrong, but like i said will have another crack at it saturday when i have more time and facilities. cheers everyone though

 

[sparkie1984]

ha ha, oops was typing on site using the iphone lol! in english, i meant somethings wrong if its rubbing! it shouldnt touch the mount mate

 

[cupra_jobe]

I bought mine from ebay wish i had this guide few weeks back mine was a right pain! mounted mine on the slam panel which was too close to the bumper so had to hack loads off lucky i had access to a body shop. next problem the ali tubes supplied have no flanges on so blow off the slicone hosses when it comes on boost. recomend the cooler, but not the pipe kit it comes with had to have all my pipes remade in stainless with flanges on the end, also still have an air leak so have to buy some WRC jubilees at £5 each but then they hold up to 3 bar hehe morrel of the story buy cheap get cheap!!

Will post some pics soon. They have done a nice job with the pipe after it was also rubbing on the mount.

Did anyone have problems with the intercooler contacting the condenser? because ive tried mounting mine in the same place as sparkie but theres no way it will go on with out contacting the condenser.

 

[20 valve ted]

does anyone know the size of the 135 degree hoses that come with the ebay kit ive split one so buyin a new one.

 

[mav12]

i can pop out and mesure mine if u want, u need inside diameter?
