The guy sent me a sketch of a complete unit, I don't know who's was what, but it definitely looks like the one they are/were running, and it will definitely fit in front of the raditor without the condenser.

 

I had Gerhard make me that exact intercooler but 4.5in thick. However it was too deep and woulnd't fit.

He also told me that the endtanks weren't his and he didn't know what they looked like.

 

hey all! thanks so much for all the comments.... I have been working long hours and had limited time to the computer... as I am moving again and do not have access to my own computer right now... I will answer all the questions when I can...

as for a kit... heh... prolly not... it would be tough to create something like that for mass consumption...

as for smaller... so you don't haveto cut the bumper... SURE!

as for AC... yes it would fit... I took mine out as I didn't want the extra spinning mass... I never use my ac anyway... even when it's hot... I dunno... I just love having every HP I can... LOL...


as for a diagram for the pipes running... when I have some time and get settled... I'll make a ruff 3d model to show it :D

 

Tuls, nice work! That thing is MacMassive!

Here is an intercooler that would work well & has about twice the volume as say the Alta V1 top mount.

Weird, because Gerhard is who sent me the sketch.

 

Yes well he made that clear when I told him I wanted the exact intercooler on the MINI USA car.

 

I was always told never to go bigger than 3". Even on a BT setup. This was by all my VDub buddies. 4.5 is massive!

 

Well this hold some truth. The deeper the core the more difficult it is for the air to pass through. However 4.5 isn't close to the DFIC. What is that like 12"?

 

I think you are comparing two different things.
The 4.5" of your IC was for the ambient to flow through. The part of the DFIC core the ambient flows through is roughly 6" and the charge air flows through roughly a 10.5" core.

 

But the depth is more than compensated for by the increased cooling air flow. All the flow through top mount types are this way.

Tuls.. any high res pics of the last photo? I want it for my background lol

 

Just take your bu,mper off and take a shot of your condeser and then paste it to the front of the car........

 

Haha but that intercooler is soooo shiny, plus he's got the aerokit and rims..

Tuls MCS > My MCS

 

Not to threadjack but....Oh, these Stoptechs look so sexy.. I think I am gonna look at them all night!

 

This thread is pretty done... I revived it without success lol... you got stoptechs? if so NICE, they do look purrttyyyy

 

yeah....I'm kickin Tuls' thread to the curb....hold on I will go fab an intercooler for ya

 

lol.. aren't you going turbo in your MC?

 

why yes.....yes I am.

 

haha.. Start up a thread (if you haven't already) and post pics..

 

uksuv like most Air Force boys is all talk....

 

hey now.....I have my hands on a block and a few other things...give the newbie a break...ooooo......talented one. When are you gonna fab me up one?

 

HAHA ouch... so any high res pics of your purtyy car?

UKSUV, spill it fab you up one of what? seriously though start up a thread and post ANY progress so it gives us (those who could give a crap about the M62 and it's minor gains, yep I said, M62 is a waste of money IMHO) something to talk about.. That or give me about 5 grand so I can build my own turbo setup and post pics haha

 

Ummm....it's gonna cost like 3x that for what I plan on doing. Plus, I am in the very very early stages of it like getting a block and some other misc. parts. Tuls, knows he IS gonna help me but he just doesn't want to think about it. Plus, my car looks like a bomb went up in it at the moment. Can't think about the motor/trans until this crap is done.

 

you know I'd love to help brutha

 

Are you mocking me Master Tuls?!? Don't make me get loco on you esse.
