Welly cooler behind standard bumper
« on: 06 June 2013, 11:06 »
Hi all,

Has anyone fitted a 'welly cooler' behind a standard bumper with anni valance? Of all the build threads I have seen people have fitted them behind a R32 bumper. If so could you provide pics please. I am hoping to fit one week after next.

I was thinking of getting the 2.5" inlet and outlet version since it wouldn't require the reducers to fit to the pipe work and the core is also thinner so there is a better chance of it fitting without having to remove the side grilles.

This is the 'welly cooler' I am referring to http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FMIC-FFRONT-MOUNT-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-TYPE-B-600x300x76MM-/200484166200?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eadc99a38

This is the slightly smaller 2.5" version http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-KIT-DRAG-RACE-FRONT-MOUNT-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-/400159814481?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d2b623351

Thanks

Go for the smaller cooler = hotter air to intake = give mine a chance against yours  :grin:

You will need to cut quite alot out to make it fit behind a standerd bumper ,

I still had to cut a little out my r32 to get the pipes to fit!

Go big or go home  :lipsrsealed:

Haha brilliant replies, thanks guys.

My current situation is currently go big go broke!

I currently have a k03s running 208bhp peak due to weak actuator (Which has now been replaced with forge one) and SMIC.

I am thinking I would like to get the most out of current setup without going to 3" MAF and injectors. However I do keep on reading through the hybrid thread so that is a possibility for the future. But I will definitely not be going over 300 since I don't want to be spending money on rods.

Rio, my next mod after FMIC will be water/meth injection so that should help me keep up with you.

Granta, I would be very grateful if you take pics. Also where abouts are you, I could come and help to give me an idea about the job at hand.

So my understanding is that it is not impossible however lots of cutting is required. Is that correct? Would the bumper still be securely fitted i.e. it wont lose major structural integrity.
