Post Turbo engine bay/intercooler pictures
Anyone got pictures of a series turbo engines in a coupe? cant seem to find any by searching. I have my engine fitted now but struggling to find a decent place for the intercooler to fit. Thanks

For Avon dragging, you are better off either using standard set up (ie. no IC)
Or running a sniff of Nitrous, or methanol.

I have run 4 different types of IC and countless ways of feeding air to them. (But have no A series pictures sorry)

As you say it's only a temporary bit of fun while sorting the body out, and this should be more than fun for now :wink:



This is the only picture I have of my other GTM Coupe with Charge cooler, but as Will said not really worth it if its temporary

Thanks for the reply. Will have to source a standard plenum then i guess (sold mine and got a Nic plenum) and just run water/meth injection. Was tempted to cut a big hole in the luggage area to fit punto intercooler and feed air in by the rear wheel

Here is a picture of my intercooler setup, i'm not too sure how effective this is as i've not measure airflow/temps etc across teh cooler. The intercooler is from a Fiesta or Escort and the air is (hopefully) ducted from the naca style vent in front of the rear wheel. Hope this helps!
