Whats the best combination to go for?
Im hoping to be running around 330bhp once the cars all up and running but want an intercooler set up that is more than capable of running that power so i have the option of more power in the future aswell as something that looks the part.
Ive been looking at using this

with these fans

or this which seems to be a complete kit but im not sure what the air con bit is all about as obviously a 3dr doesnt have aircon

Also i already have a set of samco boost hoses which fitted the standard intercooler so would be nice to use a cooler which these will straight onto so i dont need to buy new ones, not sure what size standard is though as the original intercooler is gone and the hoses are round my dads at the moment so cant measure them right now to see what size they are.

 

The best I would say would be Pro Alloy for Radiator, RS500 intercooler (with standard pipes) and the fans from them also,

not cheap

£400
£400
£180

+ vat, thats a touch under a grand.....

Looks the nuts though

 

3 doors could be had with aircon, I would use Airtec, they use very thick/strong alloy, don't cost the earth about £250 for 70mm rad and same for a RS500 cooler.
Personally I would use a kenlowe fan, curved vane jobby, had no end of us sourced fans that go bang.

Never knew you could get 3drs wiv aircon, learn something new everyday! So do all the rs500 style intercoolers have the same diameter hose connections as the standard 3dr intercooler?

 

afaik, all I can tell you is when I went from a 4wd intercooler to a RS500 airtec all the pipes fitted, would have been slightly better with a touch of angle on the outlet to tb to make that bit easier but still fit.

as tabetha says, i have airtec 70mm 500 cooler and rad and they have been faultless on track,

tabetha i just cut the pipe down slightly on the turbo to intercooler and they fit fine

 

The prob I had was the cooler to throttle housing, due to misalignment, it's a sod to get on right, should have remembered, to angle it, as I've just added a 3/4" pipe from cooler out area to go to my new(KA) iscv.
