well i thought id give it a go.

i dont know why i didnt think of this earlier.

i have a renault 5 gt turbo convertible as well, and tonight i thought id take the intercooler off that and measure up to see if i could physically fit one before i buy 1.

then i suddenly thought, why not use the 1 off that car, its not going anywhere. lol

so all i gotta do now is get 2 new pipes welded on the end and its ready to fit, dont even need new hoses.

its pretty much the exact size i need
the core is 500mmx180mmx60mm made by forge.
i would probably go for a 600x300x100mm from ebay if i change it


heres a pic of my pipework that runs under my engine, and said cooler





so just get 2 pipes welded on the top of the end tanks at 45degrees, and take out the 2 middle hoses and the 2 outer hoses will fit in just fine. result




i would hope that this intercooler and 1 charge cooler should work ok.

if not i can get it all in and working then see about getting a bigger IC later on.
