Whats the best front mounted intercooler to get and why?

Is it best to have the fans on the front or between the rad and IC?

All thoughts appreciated

 

GRS Front mount IMO...

with fans mounted between IC & Rad if possible

 

GRS

Yup learnt that the hard way

 

ive got a radtec cooler on mine with the fans mounted between the 2, cant really give results as havnt used the car much this year.....

build quality is excellent though as is the price!!

you need to get air to any FMC so you will have to re-design the bumper as it hides 80% of the coolers

 

are the pace coolers any good?

 

they do an EXCELLENT job of warming ACT's LOL

told u before...bin it

GRS. Do a search for previous threads asking this question. The answer is ALWAYS predominantly GRS!!

 

Like wise.. GRS

 

anyone got any pics?

xr4i did you have the fans only on the front of the cooler?

i have a alloy rad and a GRS and the fans on the rad only and mine is still warm

 

Yeah ive jus got the fans at then front at the intercooler,never got hot yet only had the car 4 a week tho!

 

Thanks a lot for the opinions guys

Looks like a GRS job then

Ive already got an alloy rad so that should help prevent any overheating probs, and i just got another front bumper to cut lumps out of too

Low ACT's here i come!

 

GRS was good on mine, with SPAL fans on rad was better with bumper cut out

Have changed to an NMS one to improve airflow to radiator - requires some modding as is a lot deeper than my GRS

 

have you got a pic of this fitted? from the engine bay side looking into the back of the rad...need to see how the boost hose goes on if possible?

82 degree thermostat's a great mod as well.

 

might have to move mine or maybe have one on the cooler and one on the rad

anyone else had one on the rad and the other on the cooler?

ive also got a the 82degree thermo

 

The kenlow fans r only 46mm thick so not much space needed 2 fit them,mine aint had no mods at all 2 fit 2 in and r super quiet

 

What about pro alloy? are they not as good as grs?

GRS with fans in the middle it works well for me.
