Exhaust charge piping = scrapheap challenge ftw !!

Paddy could be eligible for some sort of eco-challenge/green energy prize by the looks of the recycling that's gone into this but something tells me the clouds of black soot he'll be seeing out the back of this thing won't go in his favour lol
I bet his wallets a fair bit healthier than it would have been otherwise tho! Good progress mate

Hands down best intercooler piping I've seen for a long while.

Great work throwing all this together so quickly and on a shoestring.

:-) thanks good to hear that just have to put the (new) radiator in to it nw and put to 6"inc fans on the intercooler lol then build the front up and try her on the road :-)

[Paul Baldwin]

You want fans on the rad mate, not on the inter-cooler. Good move putting a new rad on. Pugs do not like being cooked!

my intercooler fans switched on for testing lol

[Piggy]

I know its been mentioned before...duno if you missed it...
But all those fans are guna do is restrict air flow if anything.
You need fans on your coolant rad though, asap!

Lol i no bt i will try it for a bit and see hw it gose :-) way u do urs lol

[Piggy]

Its just, it wont help fmic temps and wont help rad temps!?

[Poodle]

It'll help fmic temps just fine if they're running and the car is stationary...

well yeah...but Im assuming he wants to drive the thing!

[pioneer DJ paddy]

See piggy gets me lol its for if i am in the town and i want to beat a nother car from a set of lights lol i will have a swith inside if i want to switch them off like :-) good to hear use enjoy this project :-)

[Piggy]

Fans will take a looooooong time to cool a hot fmic to do anything...so as long as the other guy is willing to wait 10minutes then yeah it may work...

Better off having a couple washer jets and a second bottle n pump connected to that switch...intercooler spray be much more effective.

[Paul Baldwin]

OR get one like zx_volcanes. The VNT turbo obviously helps with temps but we checked the inlet just after a few spirited pulls the other day and it's actually cold to the touch, definitely cooler than ambient!
Honestly Paddy, those fans will just restrict the flow of air thru your inter-cooler AND to your radiator. I can see your reasoning behind what you've done but they just aren't needed.

Ye maybe use are right because im nt running any fans for my radiator any more so the more air the better :-) lol thanks for the info dow hope to finish her this week :-) sum time

[Piggy]

You WILL need fans on your rad.

You DONT need fans on your intercooler

Understud lol hws that bus of urs running do u think all the work i have done to my car will pass m.o.t :-) any more plans for ur car :-)

[Paul Baldwin]

If that battery in the boot is secure, it's not too loud and doesn't smoke too much (certainly shouldn't with a standard pump!) then the MOT should be a doddle if the rest of the car's up to it.
Like I said make sure this doesn't get cooked, get a decent rad fan sorted and make sure it kicks in when the car needs it, make sure it's bled properly and that your low level water light works. That turbo and the inevitable ragging this things going to get is going to put extra stress on the cooling system so you want to make sure it's tip top.
