LCR Intercooler kit

[MarcGreenaway]

That will do nicely mate, thanks for that!

Just trying to get some different prices together really, Tx, Custom etc to see which will be the best route to take as a bit strapped for cash at the moment!

Me too, that's why I was happy when I saw he got it all done for just over £200. The pipe links don't work any more but there's enough info on there to source by his descriptions. For the price I think I've made my decision already.

 

[MarcGreenaway]

Yeah me too. Think im gunna go for the TX cooler and then try to source my own piping. Keep me posted on how u get on...you may even be able to help me sort my piping out.

Where you planning on getting ur piping bits from?

I found another post similar explaining what pipes and hoses to get if you're not buying a whole kit. Link is at home, I'll post it up later. It's for a mk1 Audi S3 so should be fine for a mk1 LCR, not sure about a LC.

 

[MarcGreenaway]

yeah that would be helpful..Thanks! I will check that link out for piping too!

 

[tom0311]

No idea yet, I might even buy the cooler and piping with separate pay packs to make it easier on the wallet. Above link looks useful.

 

[MarcGreenaway]

Yeah thats what i was thinking regarding the paydays haha! I just know how hard a month will be with a cooler sat in my room waiting!

 

[tom0311]

True, although with no pipes you have no choice but to wait anyway I'll see how the month goes cash wise, probably will order it in a couple of weeks. Really happy to have found that link, the only one I saw before was £600 and it really put me off.

 

[MarcGreenaway]

Well yeah thats true! I had seen the TX kit that sam runs and everbody says how good it is.. just cant really spend that much with holiday plans for summer etc.. well without the mrs killing me anyway haha

 

[tom0311]

You can only do what you can mate, can't see the toyo being a bad option at all. My cars going to progress pretty slow and on a budget but I'll still be well chuffed with it

I've used these guys before for hoses and their Hi-Grip SS clips

I have fitted the Toyo cooler now, I cant say there is any lag really, lots of chatter and tonnes more torque,

easy to fit and routing the pipework supplied was a doddle, the stainless clamps really are the nutts.

[tom0311]

You got the pipework as part of a kit didn't you?

 

[rsmith]

check my readers ride I am sure there is a shopping list of parts between pages 3-8

Ah yeah, forgot you'd done it DIY style as well Rob. Found the link from Welly's S3 custom job:

And Phillc also has a post explaining how he did the install:

My plan was to use Welly's shopping list and Phillc's guide and hopefully it'll all come together but I'll be having a look at yours as well, Rob.

Yes complete kit to save assin around! I needed nothing to be fair.

[MarcGreenaway]

Would this kit be sufficient for my LCR to go with the Toyo cooler or shall i do custom piping?

or shall i go for 63mm piping?

I need to find out more about this Toyo FMIC.... I bought a Forge front mount for my LC a good few years back at a price of near £800. How can this Toyo intercooler be a hell of a lot cheaper in comparison?
The guys thats are running with the Toyo set up, can u tell more about it and any problems or issues you have came across if any??
