Although I prefer the idea of mounting the intercooler at the front of the engine bay somewhere - make use of all the lovely cold air rushing in, instead of on top in the nasty warm air off the engine. I suppose some sort of mad max style bonnet scoop would also work  Well i would be doing road rallies in it, so mounting it under the rad is not an option as it will get beaten off, and i dont htink there is room in between the engine and rad. When i get it and know the size i can obviously check though. I want to keep the vent as subtle as possible How about in the left hand wing, using the cool area between engine bay and external wing to carry the air and radiate from the actual bodywork? You can probably live with a bit of heat from the front rotors ^H^H^H^H I mean discs. |
Possibly. Not really sure how easy access would be, and i'm not sure how
much room would actually be in there. A mate has a 205 he is scrapping
though, so i may have to experiment on that!

Already got an intercooler and manifold lined up for a cheap price. Then i will take some measurements to see where it'll fit. Hopefully it will go on top of the engine (like it does on a BX/405) with an auto bonnet fitted and a vent cut into it. Well thats the current plan anyway |
mounting will be easier - all you need to do is cut a hole out.

. If you're not joking, I reckon Carlwould have a hole in it from a branch or something and drained the cooling
system within about a week.

One of the easiest ways to more power on a top-mounted-intercooler car
(Impreza, Sunny GTi-R, etc.) is to move the intercooler to the bumper.
You've got a much higher throughput of cold-air there.

intercooler. Or even better, he's moved the radiator and he's trying to make
it look like an intercooler. I've seen it lots of times.

He rallys the car though. It'll last 20 minutes! It might do a bloody good job whilst it's working though :P. |
