Thread: Intercooler Upgrade or a Fan?

Hey Alex,

Don’t waste your time looking for an intercooler in Aus.

Stay up late tonight and give Ali-Sport a ring in the UK. I got my brand new full-size intercooler delivered to the door for about $500.00

Cheers

Agree 100%. Allisport have apparently achieved sub 9sec 0-100kmp/h in a Puma with their performance upgrades.

Not cheap in UK terms, but compared to Australian prices...

Drover,

You have done SO much to that lucky SVX of yours, haha. I might look into it, before I spend the cash, i'll pick up an electric fan from the wrecker and mount it behind the intercooler and do the injection pump tweak. It just needs a little more power :P

Alex

just had a look at the Allisport website,

Cop a look at this......

This is a popular product from AlliSport Ltd. One of many products sold world wide. If you have any questions about this product please do not hesitate to contact us.

Now im thinking of going to the wreckers and picking up a big intercooler from a Supra or something and retro fitting it... more surface area and a cheaper option methinks.

Or this one.

I have toyed with the idea of buying a complete TD5 front, radiator, panel, condensor and intercooler and fitting it to my TDi.

I can get a supra intercooler for less than $100 :P

Jeff - Want to sell me your aircon? :P

dont go playing with things like supra intercoolers. Intercoolers are designed for the engine and turbo, they need to complement each other as a system.

Fitting a fan will do nothing for your intercooler, ie you are traveling at 100km on the road and that will be pushing more air past the intercooler than any fan that you could fit. A better designed intercooler with higher flow rate and surface area is the answer, that with a fuel and boost tweak will have you smiling .
