Im going to get the grinder out at the weekend and fit my pro alloy 500 cooler also gonna put my rs 1600i rocker cover, as the charge pipes are on either side im going to have to make a custom one off the throttle body. Does it matter what shape it is ? as in if i have a 90degree bend from throttle will it effect flow ? or does it not make any difference ? ? ?

 

I had this on my old engine in my XR2T, only took it off as i went for cossie managment and EFi manifold.


There more pics here http://gingersphotos.fotopic.net/

 

Got any more pics mate ? thas what im thinking of doing but leaving the throttle body at the normal angle and running the pipe tight to the cam wheel. Who made the bend for the throttle body ?

 

you may struggle doing it as the breather on the rs16i inlet is in the middle

 

Yeah i know, ive got a few old plastic breather pipes from when it was mfi, one of them is a 90 degree was hoping to use that on the top breather if i can

 

Fit a XR3i Inlet like Christian did might be easier

 

I might be selling my old XR3i Inlet soon, once I know I don't need any of the bits.

 

Which side is the throttle body christian ?

I need mine on the left as thats the side of the pipe on the intercooler

 

like this?





i hacked off the middle breather pipe and welded it on the end like a normal cvh rocker cover

 

You wrecked a nice RSi cover I do like the paint work of the cover tho.

 

Yeah thats the sort of thing, except mine will go to the left wont have to cut mine though, managed to get sum gripes around the top breather and un screw it just a case of drilling it in new position and securing somehow

 

Only this one on my pc at the moment, the rest are on my laptop.


I was going to do what your talking about but went this route due to the breather on the rocker cover. I was a lot easier, just made the pipe on the cover come out at a 45' angle towards the passenger side. I made the throttle pipe myself.

 

That ic is massive

 

This is what i have done




Cosworth 4x4 Cooler



Works better than any of my bros GRS or PRO alloys coolers. That he had on his old 2.1 ZVH cab.

 

Looks good mate who made the pipe ?

 

ollie was you at santa pod a couple of years ago in the black mk5 turbo.... sure it was this car, i was speaking to you about your conversion!

 

Thanks bad boy rs It was make by a bloke that had a Red MK6 with a turbo zetec engine.

Hi rsdan123 Sounds like me. my car was a 1.6 turbo back then.
Its now a 2.1 ZVH so hope to get some Fast times this year

 

Ollie MK5 Turbo, what power is your ZVH?

what turbo do you have?


Just curious as I will hopefully build one in the near future and wondering what works

 

i HAD a red mk5 cvh 1.6 turbo running ofab.... what time did you get? (ollie)

 

think you might still have to cut the whats left of the pipe and get rid of the fins on top of the rocker cover.

i wanted to keep the fins, but i couldnt get the pipe to clear.

 

I see what you mean mate jus looked at your pics again, think i will have the same problems

anyway,

Went up the garage earlier and cracked on , bumper off, radtec front mount out, and then got carried away with the hacksaw theres quite abit of chopping to do, was a bit heart breaking hacking away at my pride and joy but fuck it, because i love modding

will get some pics up at the weekend

 

Nice rst you got there mate

I'll be looking forward to some pics as i just ordered my FMIC and the pipe work also has to go the other way as it's a single pass....with a 600x300 cooling area so have to grind some metal away i think ...
At the moment i've got a reverse charge carrier from pace but looking for a home made inlet later this year...

 

Thanks mate, will get some pics up tomorrow gona be down me garage all day and hope to get the intercooler mounted. What side do you need the throttle body ive hot a t16 rover turbo inlet sitting in my garage if u fancy trying that i was going to use it but changed my mind

 

Throttle body needs to be @ the timingbelt side , but that's how i think of it now....

First get it runng on EFI and then we'll see..

I'm not from UK so i'll think it over ass you'll have to send it overseas then....

What are you lokking for for the inlet?

Looking forward to those pics

 

The inlet is on the other side thats why i didnt use it, not after much may be Ł50, people use it on the zetec convertions and get good results

 

Lookin good muate, wont look quite the same soon though!

 

Yes, agree. Looks good once painted up with the polished fin edge: can't tell you've butchered it once painted and installed. Top job

 

cheers fella, yer i am pleased with it, but soon itll be efi and look abit different like moonie said.


sorry for sort of hijacking your post bad boy rs

 

Not a problem mate

Well ive jus got up as ive been hanging all day after drinking shit loads of fosters yesterday on an all day session. Havnt got anything done on the intercooler, was up the lockup for a while yesterday morning and realised id cut to much of the front panel out which pissed me off, but ive kept them so will get them wlded back after the cooler is mounted. It also turns out that my mate that had the cooler on his motor had to cut away some of the strutial part of the front panel above the toweing eye, im not up for that so im going to mark up the cooler and get the bottom part cut off and wealed up so its slightly smaller. Turned into a bit of a nitmare realy but thats life will get some pics up of my butcherd front panel tommorrow

 

I am using this one for my cvh turbo. Also using a RSi cover( not finished on this pic.)

 

Pics Pics Pics???



Will get my single pass cooler upcoming week i hope...
It's 770 mm wide in total so have to do pretty much cutting i guess (6)

 

Hello mate, pics aren't available anymore, could you please upload 'em again ?

Thank you.

Cheers.
