Hello all, i am in the process of buying a sierra sapphire 4x4 cossie, but i am wondering what intercooler is best for it as its got a standard one on it. Ive seen airtek coolers on auto specialists web site are these any good or not ? Can anyone advise me which is best to buy ?

Thanks

Genuine 500 or Proalloy i think are the best ones - not that that means the others are crap!

Ive heard stuff about air temps does the pro alloy keep them done better than the airtek ?

i bought an airtec intercooler for mine works a treat and fit perfectly

mechanic28 Its running a T34, dark greens, with a boost spike of 30psi dropping to 24psi. L/C bottom end as well

cossie0_4 Have thought about getting the airtek but wanted peoples opinons on it good or bad ie fitting,air temps,quality of product.

Also if i put an alloy intercooler on the car will i have to have it set up after ? Sorry for the stupid questions but im not mechanically minded

The standard 4x4 intercooler will do for what you need tbh and is very good but the genuine rs500 or pro alloy as the daddy's!

Im running a 4x4 intercooler on my rwd saff running stage 3 approx 350bhp

You also want 1 of these ACT gauges for your ACT'S imho

s1robinb Thanks for the info, definately would like an ACT gauge, are they just a case of tapping into the inlet manifold and wiring up ?

yeah the R and B one comes with an adaptor and fits in to the plenum

the ones on ebay work just as well tho but dont come with the adaptor to fit in to the plenum

MattyRST

Matt Baxter May buy the R and B one then as im not a good mechanic, i need it to be an easy fit

go for the r&b one then cant get any easier than that as all you need to do is find a ignition + and a good earth then screw the adaptor in to the plenum.
the hardest job is finding a place to fit it (put mine in the place of the dash dimmer)

MattyRST

Have seen them fitted in the dash dimmer on staffi's, does it fit straight into the dimmer hole or does it need making bigger, and can you see it from the drivers seat ?

the r&b one should fit in the dash dimmer hole (but i got mine off ebay so had to do some triming to make it fit) and no you cant see it from the the drivers seat but looks
