HI ALL. I`V GOT A GRS INTERCOOLER AND I CAN`T GET IT TO FIT WITH THE FANS BETWEEN THE COOLER AND THE RAD, I`V GOT 2 10" KENLOWE FANS AND I`V MOVED THE RAD AS FAR BACK AS I CAN BUT THE COOLER STICKS OUT TO FAR SO THE BONNET WONT SHUT! I HAVE HAD THE COOLER ON BEFORE WITH THE FANS IN FRONT BUT I DONT LIKE THE LOOK! HELP PLZ!

had the same problem on mine mate, in the end, i thought fuck it, and took the bonnet catch off, this is what normally hits the top of the intercooler,

Ive installed lockable bonnet pins now, safer with these on anyway, i wouldnt trust just a bonnet catch as they normally pop open while at high speeds with very messy effects.

I had this problem with mine when i fitted my second fan too,it moved it so far forward that it caught the underside of the bonnet

Drastic times called for drastic measures.I took an angle grinder and skimmed a few mm off the underside I did a tidy job though If you do this just remember to cover any bare metal afterwards

keep them in front dont have to hack the car about then

I dont really see the problem guys fitted mine with 1 fan and had no probs only think i did was chop bonnet catch back as it dented top of cooler hope u get it sorted m8 fans in front of cooler looks shit IMO

Stoo

Mine was fine with one fan,it cleared no problem.The extra width makes one of the fans sit on either the left or right hand side of the cooler instead of on the cores so thats why it pushes it out a bit more

it aint all about what it looks like its how it goes

rabmc

Its all about how it looks IMO u pay for a ally cooler it has to look the part , and fns in front of cooler defeats the purpose IMO

mine caught 2 when i tried 2 fans only have 1 on at the min but temps rise to high so i think ill be putting the other back on soon.

i am thinking of cutting the bottom cross member out to drop down the cooler a bit more
so the bonnet will close proper

same here mate, binned catch, got my drill out and fitted some pins.
I personally think they look good

rabmc

mines is fine with 1 fan guys , fitted switch for fan though if in traffic etc but can sit for 15-20 mins before fan coming on by its self

NUTTIN RILLA

I`m the same rab, a switch for the traffic is safe, but as you sayed its 15 20 min before it comes on its self

If cars running hot try fitting a cosworth thermostat, which cuts in at 82c rather than the 88c that the RS turbo one operates at.

Keeps your car 6c cooler

i have cossie thermo and a new rad wiv a big fan on the front of my grs it looks hard and it dont rise half way at mo but will see in a few months

the reason for moving my cooler is because the bonnet has already come open at 50mph, just rebuilding the car now , the cooler is the last thing i need to do!
