Intercooler

[Paul Cos]

Well a few weeks ago I took my car to MAD for a check over. Well when I was there Mark checked the Inlet system by pressurising it. There was a hissing coming from the intercooler. So it looked like the intercooler was split. That was the end of the setup

So took it home and ordered a new intercooler. Well that turned up yesterday. So stripped the old one off this evening. This is what I have found.

Stripped out the old one.



This was the old set up



My new one



Once stripped found this



Now got this ready to go back on.

Y didn't u just get that welded and pressure tested

[Paul Cos]

Its already been done once before.

[Davecos 4x4]

I would of tried to weld it up looking at the split.

That inter cooler looks like a copy of the Spec r cooler.

What's the efficiency of the Airtec cooler then?

[Cossie col]

That's what I was going to say Dave, defo a copy of the SpecR unit that is bad for the Pro intercooler though

[Joe-Tait]

Yeah they are a copy of Spec-R inter coolers but don't have the plate and bar garret core.

[turbomook]

They also copied the Hart Inlet aswell

[lee2cossies]

No shame on airtec! They copied the hart inlet too. Their coolers are good tho, they are bar and plate core just not a garret core I believe, but give good results, sure wenny uses one on his car.

How much for your old pro cooler, ? My mate would maybe be interested,

I just bought an airtec cooler for my focus, They seem to work well but the weight it them is absolutely crazy, so heavy ,

Crap compared to the spec-r one but half the price

Thing is any one can copie any thing if theres no copie rights on them

[Dan Le Moignan]

I was going to weigh it in. But if your interested I will sell it. Don't know what the going rate is for them.

True plus was available this year

All fitted now. Fits nicely.

[turbomook]

Looks like a good fit any way mate.
