charge cooler install

loadswine · April 27, 2007, 09:58

Mine has a bracket welded to it, but might it be possible to support yours from the two ends? If so, you won't need anything like such big diameter P clips and could probably get clips off the shelf.
Just a thought, sure you've already considered that one.

Any news on this Stu and Mark?
I'm contemplating on going with a pwr barrel charge cooler in the next week and wondering what sort of intake temps ye're getting, if ye've got that far?

markiii · June 23, 2007, 16:50

kits are now assembled,

just need to find time for teh fitting

somethng neither of us has much of at te mo

kanujunkie · June 23, 2007, 21:09

time, whats that? s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

but yeah the parts are all there, locations for parts have been sorted, we just need to get together to fit everything. The header tank can fit in the front on the right with the brakeing components, its still at least 3" higher than either chargecooler location. The pump can be fitted anywhere theres space. Were useing adapted mini distributer clamps to hold the pump and i've had my pump adapted to bolt onto the rear crash bar. The wireing will be connected into a new fuse point in the left of the dash.

heres the component list anyway

Please don't post to this topic...cause I've been seriously thinking about this lately and it doesn't help that you keep upping this. s:P

s:P

kanujunkie · June 29, 2007, 09:44

btw Heath, keep forgetting to tell you, i have some injector connectors in the car for your install, can you make sure i either give them to you or Mark at JAE

You would think, wouldn't you.. I've been waiting on JapanParts for a quote since June 11th s:? :? s:?

Nengun say it takes at least a week to get the Product Request onto their site, plus several weeks for a price to appear on their site (and they don't contact you, you just have to keep checking)

Most of Top Secret's listed resellers don't list the turbo kit on their site - heck, one of them is a car audio supplier s:? :? s:?

There's a place in Sweden I might try - if I could read their website s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

markiii · June 29, 2007, 11:16

you tried Prolex?

aaronjb · June 29, 2007, 11:27

Yep - he can get the PE, but not the TS

markiii · June 29, 2007, 11:34

Good point. They can sell at least replacements parts to the kit, so probably the full kit too. Worth asking anyway. s8)

Funny you should mention them - I was going to get the PFC from them (via ebay)

aaronjb · June 29, 2007, 15:50

Right - I have mails in to Top Secret, JPS, Nengun and JapanParts... one of them out to work out, you'd think!

And we should get back to the topic of Chargecoolers s;)

s;)

(Which reminds me to order that from Australia)

Chris · July 26, 2007, 15:12

so then stu, assuming that you managed to get up on monday at mark's (you were looking knackered on the sunday night) have you got them both installed yet? Thoughts on driving afterwards?

aaronjb · July 26, 2007, 15:19

<Fake Stu voice> We got Stu's installed by the end of Tuesday - it's a long install the first time you do it - and it seemed to work rather well indeed (well, Stu had a big grin on his face after driving it, and the only way I could keep up was by being utterly insane and carrying more corner speed thanks to the Teins).

We didn't get Mark's done because he bought the wrong rad (and we ran out of hose - it needs about 11m per car, and we only had 20m) s:(

s:( But it's very nearly there.. </Fake Stu voice>

(Yeah, that was Stu talking about himself in the third person, honest s;)

s;) )

MAYBE It's a secret?

spit · July 26, 2007, 17:42

That's a lot of hose Stu ...erm Aaron ...erm Stu.

We're slobbering for some pictures of the install here. s:P

s:P Did anyone have a camera handy on the day?

aaronjb · July 26, 2007, 17:54

Stu did indeed have his camera - I imagine once he wakes up (he's probably been asleep since he got home, if he's got any sense - it's either that or Ele has locked him away somewhere to stop him running away from home again s;)

s;) ) he'll post up plenty of pics s:)

s:)
