I was just woundering what is the bigest and best type of intercooler to fit on a S1 with out changing the look off the exterior and with out to much work
Any help would be most appreciated especially of S1 owners how have succsefully fitted a good intercooler
P.S I really dont want to change the look of the exterior at all

 

GRS intercooler fits quite nicely and is as big as it gets. Here's a picture of my Orion:

Any one else agree or dis-agree?!?!

 

you could also look into the new pace cooler, similar to the grs one in apperance.

 

I would agree with the above.... more info, go here.....

There is a number of options really.

As above, you could fit the large GRS intercooler.

There is also a guy on here who has fitted a cosworth 4x4 intercooler behind the grill with a custom made rad (probably looking a Ł400.00 all in. Can't remember his name "mind has gone blank")

Other people have fitted a cosworth 2wd intercooler again behind the grill and tilting the standard rad back to providethe extra space required, similar to what Karl does on his twin cos intercoolers.

The choice is yours.....

 

Scott R is his name. He has got some pics of his install somewhere

 

I have just got hold of a charge cooler for mine as not to disturb the engine cooling, before you all say they are crap i have a larger rad for the charge cooler with its own fan and it works for me.
Im considering a water spray also you never know

those charge coolers r ace my m8 fitted 1 2 his onion and its well
quick now

 

Got a charge cooler on it now but i dont rate them much and most people on here seem to be opting for an intercooler

 

i have got a pace chargecooler on mine and i am well pleased with it

 

Is that on a S1? got any pictures showing me how you did it?

i had a pace charge cooler on my S2, i fitted an extra radiator to it and it was still shit, 75deg charge temp, for the money they are charging, you would expect something that works, go for the intercooler

 

Ive already decided to go for an intercooler that aint the problem its just i was wondering which is the best type to fit...

 

gaz you gotta go GRS mate fitted one on my mates s1 and my s2 they are the nuts

 

ADSRST, Are they easy to fit on S1 though?
In this months 'fast ford' theres a big section at the back about intercoolers, theres a red 'series one' (well mk3 looker with turbo engine and everything) with a S2 pace intercooler fitted to it, does anyone know how difficult this is??

 

i dont think it would be hard to fit the small pace one but if you want lower charge temps and the standard look then the GRS one is the best for the job and graham (the bloke at GRS )will tell you and send you instructions when you call him, fitting it is well easy mate you cant go wrong
