I am liking that a lot might have to invest in one, Gav if a have just a stage 3 engine is it worth fitting as many people say you dont need one until your running more bhp??

You will gain power on any state of tune! just ask yourself, Is your car faster early in the morning and late at night when the air is cooler???

Ian, you dont need one as they say the standard Escort Cosworth intercooler is very good. But even with only 300bhp there are gains to be had. My car pulls better than before and as Wayne say its like driving on a cool morning all the time!

Damo, I dont tend to take too much notice, until the SECS alarm warns me!
Fans kick in at around 96, SECS is set to warn me if it reaches 100
The water only gets that hot after a blast, then sitting in traffic.

Im sure its got to help, sending cooler water into the engine.

sorry I cant be more help!

Wazzer - Do you already make a FRST cooler then? Was all the stuff last night purely about the T3 converted Fiestas or what? *confused* Or maybe you were talking about making a slim, yet efficient rad that would allow a fan to be used at the back?

P.S. Your site just completely fcuked my eyes If you try and look at the screen while it's loading a page, and there's just the background with all the big squares, look around the screen a bit and it warps your brain

Wazzer you have PM

we already do a double capacity intercooler for the fiesta, but we are developing a new front mount kit.
we were hoping to make the kit fit with the std t25 and the t3 but that may be a little tricky!! we will see

You have PM oh btw the FRST used a T2 from factory, but I don't think that makes any difference in this case. Not being pedantic!
