Ive got an intercooler off of a Iveco truck in the garage and was wondering if it would be any good for a car.
If it would be suitable for a car how much do you think it would be worth.

The measurements are

full width 33"
height 12.5"
depth 2.25"
core width 21"
outlets 3"

 

looks remarkably like the frontera intercooler i had on my calibra turbo.
Probaly worht about 100 notes

 

afaik it is a behr core my iveco @ work has a behr cored intercooler on it

 

Truck coolers and turbos are quite popular over here.

 

Ive been told it would'nt be able to handle 15psi or more

 

thats the think - they probably blow to pieces.

 

Would be surprised if that blew apart at 15psi tbh. Just hook up a compressor and test it at desired pressure

 

they aint worth a lot mate
my mate got a truck breakers and he sells mint ones for £50

 

I've got a big cooler of a saab, dont spose anyone knows if this would handle any decent boost??



Its as big as a mk5 rad but has plastic outlets. Would be nice if its of some use.

 

i think youll find it will hold alot more than that m8 !! looks like a pukka bit of kit , get it on your car !!

 

dont rate the saab types same as the big volvo car units - plastic end tanks - glued on m8

 

Sounds about right for owt that came off my car.

 

sorry m8

 

Yup, saab ones wont stand any pressure cause of the plactic end caps, dead thin too.

That truck one will tho, totaly welded it seems, looks a decent cooler

 

I had one of those Iveco intercoolers a while ago. Threw it in the bin in the end. Diesels usually run about 15 psi with high volume turbos (need to provide air for 6 or 8 cylinder 6/8/10/12/14/16 litre engines) and looking at the cooler, is does look pretty well made with a decent size inlet and outlet.

 

So it should be alright for a chipped RST

 

ya want a merc sprinter one mate just fits in the chassie rails and is nice and thin so the rad fits on no need for mass bodging
i had one on my rst yrs ago

 

If you can get it to fit, I don't think it could be any worse than the origional one or the pace.

 

I brought one a few months back just to see what it was actually like in the flesh. I decided to go against it in my application however see below pics I took (if it helps anyone) + it was only a couple of hundred pounds from Merc's direct.







*blatent mistake on diamentions in pic 2 (I have half asleep when taking the pics at work that night*

Here is one that someone fitted to a VW Corrado (with custom metal end tanks).



Thanks - Sunny.
