Alloy Intercoolers - Best Venue ?
T66 - 9/3/12 at 09:59 PM

Looking for good value, good quality intercooler for the Fiat.



Prices are ranging from £100 to £500 - It will be a big one, and run twin fans. Its going to live in the rear of the car above the engine, fed via the side windows.


Any suggestions for sellers, or do I just buy one thats fits ?

Looked into this when we wanted a front mount intercooler for the Integrale rally car to avoid the restrictions of the standard system. After a lot of research decided to go with Radtec Racing Radiators. Spoke to the main man Darren Jeynes who is a great bloke, ended up sending him a drawing with dimensions for the cooler and the old radiator to have a new Ali one made up. They came back perfect and enabled us to gain some big power improvements on the Dyno and Andy at AET turbos was seriously impressed with the inlet temperatures with these fitted. A couple of subsequent arguments with chicanes resulted in heavy impacts and even though this bent both the rad and the cooler quite significantly they continued to work perfectly with no leaks. We then popped them in the post after the event and they were repaired at very little cost. Can't recommend them highly enough.
If you give them a ring, speak to Darren and tell him the daft lads from Hull with the Integrale recommended him, then just give him 10 minutes to stop laughing.

Prices look very competitve even allowing for import duties but I have not bought from them yet so quality is unknown.

I was thinking specifically about the water to air coolers!
