Turbo Chargecooler

I need a chargecooler for my pending turbo upgrade. I have one similar to this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LIQUID-WATER-AIR-ALLOY-TURBO-CHARGE-COOLER-INTERCOOLER_W0QQitemZ170403548319QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM ?hash=item27acd7cc9f

but it is too big to fit in the engine bay. I have found this:


http://www.advancedvehicletuning.co.uk/catalog2/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=32

which looks very promising however it is very expense, does anyone know anywhere that i could get one made cheaper or has anyone got one they are prepared to sell on. OI have heard that a calibra chargecooler is smaller than the one i currently have.

don't know, I think I'd just tig on some ducting over a large oil cooler and then flow water through it

I used a landrover 90Tdi intercooler just cause I had one lying round but ther'e plenty about on the Landrover Forums.Fitted quite nicely once I'd modded the inlet and outlet.


Is a charge cooler really neededfor your install?

The Toyota Celica GT4 (turbocharged 4WD rally car look-a-likey) uses a water-to-air chargecooler.

I've got one for my turbo upgrade - but they are quite large. The air-to-water heat exchanger is about 300 x 450 x 100mm thick.

However I only paid £50 for mine off Ebay and it came with the water radiator but no pump.

I bought a kit with the pump etc, eveything else is ok the chargecooler is just to big to fit under the bonnet. If i dont get any joy I will have to save the pennies and run without until I have saved enough .

Subaru Legacy turbos use a chargecooler that isn't too massive. Usually go for sub-£50 on ebay.

Hi Chargecooler,

If you want to advertise your business on the forum you need to register. Fozzie will probably be along soon to explain the process.

(and so she doesn't get hundreds of reports from all the other locosters - i've already reported this post)

Cheers, Mike.

Chargecoolers post has been deleted...

Thanks Mike....

It seems as though there is a vast rise of people trawling sites, and just signing up to relieve good peeps of their hard earned, without joining in or introducing themselves......

For this reason, we are loathe to sign up newbies as 'Registered Traders' straight away... we all need to get to know them first. ....Any sooner, and an informed decision as to the person and the validity of their goods/services is impossible....

Fozzie

Hello

Well the OP posted a link to my site advertising my products, I did not re-advertise them or try and promote them..

He then asked for an alternative product which is similar and more cost effective, so I pointed him to an alternative site.

There are many sites/forums on the web, that do not allow people to sell without 'introducing' them selves, or a minimum number of posts before they can list items for sale. I had this with some personal Mercedes parts I wanted to sell on a Merc Forum. The issue is, just because someone owns that particular car, does not mean they wish to sit and talk about it, or tell people their life story. To some people its just a car, and a medium of getting rid of parts, which helps both parties.

I agree with the spamming issue. Some traders/sellers simply join forums to promote products. I found this link on my webstats, as it was linking to our site, and replying to a specific question about our products.

That seems very valid and above board to me, but I apologise if this is against your guidelines.

Many thanks

You should do though - if you ran and intercooler and then increase it to around a bar of boost, you will see roughly 180-200bhp, 50-70 bhp over standard.
