Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 20-01-2013
Im looking in to this type of intercooler but will it be any good?? The reason i like them is cos of how the pipes come out would sit perfectly down the size of the rad but would it provide enought cooling?? what you guys think?
heres a link to one same as im thinking of getting

Pace intercooler - core size 200 x 260 x 65mm - overall size 310 x 275 x 130mm - 2" inlet/outlet
well ive just won one on ebay now so gona give it ago see what happens but comments still welcome
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 27-01-2013
Any body else got an opion on this? The one I won on ebay is on its way but still not sure if it will be ok for cooling 25-30psi??
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Oil-burner - 27-01-2013
Theres loads of coolers about for not much money mate. Im guessing you could make that fit pretty easily but it will be off centre.
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Jonny81191 - 27-01-2013
When it arrives, whip the bumper off and stick it in place, grab some pictures. You'll be able to get a better idea then.
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 27-01-2013
Well I bought one just likd this I no its gona be tothe passanger side of the rad that dosent both me as it will be behind the bumper/grill, just wana no if it will be enough to cool the 25-30psi if it is I will make it fit. If not I wont even bother trying.
This all depends on if I recive it as a week on and its still not come yet
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Oil-burner - 27-01-2013
The milkman posted me something Monday and that still hasnt come so I wouldnt wouldnt worry too much, the snow has f*cked the post office big time.
Erm I cant see why not tbh, its not all about having a massive cooler you know. The main problem I see with that is 50% of it will be hidden behind the bumper/numberplate rather than a long one that runs across the grill.
I ran more than that on a top mount and so have a lot of other people on here.
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 27-01-2013
When/if it comes will get bumper of and see what it looks like, thats what makes me wonder if its enough because of the bit that is behind the number plate bit will just have to find a way of mounting it as theres no brackets on it or get some welded on if I can find some one who can weld alloy
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Oil-burner - 27-01-2013
Hope you got it bloody cheap cos that sounds like a lot of fuckin about.
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 27-01-2013

Cheaper than my £25 twin pass?
Or was it a 99p special?
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - the milkman - 28-01-2013
think about it this way bud, top mounts work perfectly fine and there not the best air flow cooled so even if its similar size cooling should be fine sitting at the front. and you still not got that yet simon
im gonna blame weather lol

Cool, if you can bud that'd be great. Is it a signed for jobbie?
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - the milkman - 28-01-2013

Bloody el that is small
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Jonny81191 - 28-01-2013
Not worth the effort of fitting it mate, if it was all gonna be in the airflow, i'd say yeah go for it. But at least half of it will be hidden.

+1 thats less than half the size of mine and as said half of it will be hidden.

Those inlets aren't parallel, so even on its side I think you'll have problems getting it down the side of the radiator.
RE: Pace rs turbo intercooler on a d turbo?? - Chris_90 - 28-01-2013
Going to have a look at it tomorrw see if I can put it were its getting air to it. If not will just get my old intercooler kit back
