Hi

Hope you can help

Basically I bought this standard 90 spec, clean white S2 as a run around a few months ago, but you gotta do a few things. It's in the blood. I'm after some intercooler advice? Please,

Mods

magnex 4"
Fuel Pump & Filter
285t2 cam, tappets & vernier (standard timing)
stg1 chip
-31 actuator
and 17psi
Ford Motorsport plugs and Leads
K&N Panel sillycooned in & cover removed
running 2.7% co
lowered 40 all round on standard rims
poly bushed.
Fluffy Dice

Even found original ford mud flaps!

Well Kev loves cold damp misty nights and pulls strong, right up to 125-130 (bit blurry), but this sunny weather's a bit hot & theres a little bit of pinkin, act's too high i think.

what would be a good uprated intercooler for this set up, as i've been told that in standard form they won't flow more than 12psi efficiently?

any help greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Chris

 

pro ally front mounted ar the mutts i have one

 

Have u been running 17psi on a standard cooler!!, no wonder its pinking!,

as said above, pro alloy, or a grs

 

i have GRS front mount and the act NEVER goes higher than 34 degrees!!

 

PACE front mount everytime. Not cheap but it's the dogs bollocks I have not used my water injection kit once since it was installed

 

Sweet guys thanks.

i think i'm going to leave it after the intercooler and a new set of shells. should be fairly reliable around 190 to 200 hp.

one other question. are there any tie bar upgrades for the front end available and if so where to get them???

Ta very much

Chris

 

tie bar or TCA's?

 

There are adjustable TCA's but not tie bars for the S2. MEF Motorsports ones are top notch

 

Indeed they are, luckily I have Philip Eddowes old ones (Christian and Beccy can sell you them)

 

Thanks for the help

Just getting to know S2's been into V engines for some time.

Kev is coming off the road on November 3rd for some growth treatment on the arches and a rear end polybushin. so I'll get in touch for the bits then.

I'm hoping it control the front end somewhat better than what is on there as i do drive quite hard!
again ta!
