Intercooler w202
Intercooler w202
I have two options
1: Could I move the Engine radiator forward and place the intercooler behind? OR would this not provide enough air/have heatsoak? I Could put some electric fans on the front to aid airflow?
2: Sell the intercooler and buy a more sensible size one?
Ok, so I got over excited and ordered an intercooler that seems far too big.

Hario : You have cut the bumper support out? And made a new one? If so thats what I did also.
ERX: Yes I figured that would be the case just didn't want to wait around sending the cooler back.... was being lazy
EDH: Your cooler is much smaller than the one I have, Its all sorted now by removing the support bar at the base.

My intercooler is huge, so fitment wasn't easy however I have done it.

I have now cut the inner face of the front X-member for more clearance and cut off the lower bumper mounts to allow the intercooler / radiator to sit forwards because I have fitted an OM606. Just drill spot welds then hacksaw each end vertically and it falls out.

you will have issues with the 3" pipes fitting the auto-box cooler pipes in the radiator end tank assuming you have 722.6

I cut out the radiator supports and made my own further outward from stainless, you can see in my photo. C-section stainless supprts. And also cut off the tow hook eye. This was to allow the pipes to exit directly sideways as the OEM IC has complicated plastic pipes to clear eveerything.

Thinking about that, maybe get some 1/2" silicone hose and cut a slit down it, and use that as gromet material to slide over and around the metal edge of the triangluar hole? Rather than siliconing the boost hose?
