well i managed to fit the Radtec cooler on my saff 4x4 on saturday!

first bit of proper work i've ever done myself on my car! proud of myself!

although i nearly gave up when trying to remove the bumper until it just slid off!

thing is now the the hoses dont seem big enough from turbo to i/C n I/C to that other bit, is it TPS, intake or what ever

what hoses do i need to get?

 

when i say big enough, i mean long enough, they are the correct diameter just dont seem long enough

 

u didnt need to take the bumper off ,

shouldnt need to get any hoses, unless you've got larger outlets on the intercooler

 

bugger that wasted about an hour of my time as well trying to get the fucker off! oh well least i know how the bumper comes off now!

eh should the standard hose's be long enough yeah?

i have samcos on it, they'd been cut down at some point, but for some reason they're not quite long enough for the RS500 cooler

diameter the same tho

 

I found the same going from a 4x4 cooler (using cut down 2wd hoses), to a Pace RS500 cooler. The end of the i/c tubes are not as far back as the 4x4 cooler ones were.

2wd hoses required.

 

ah cheers, so i just need to order to order 2WD intercooler hoses then?

so was yours a a 4x4 car originally then you went to the pace cooler n had to change the hoses as well?

 

No it is 2wd.
It just seems as if the intercooler maufacturers put tubes that extend about as far as the 2wd intercoolers reached.
That was my experience with the Pace cooler.

 

sound cheers dave

now ive got to find somewhere to get them from

checked ebay n theres a company selling one of the 2 hoses i need but they want £50 for it fuck that

 

Miserable coooooooont dave.

 

Roose motorsport he has all types of hoses to fit all applications

And was very helpfull to me
