I had the st205 - plugs not to bad at all, disconnect from turbo and inlet then just lift up!

haven't got any pics of it finished on photobucket, but heres a mid installation pic from the front! (my old 2)

i will be doing this soon as well, some good pics there people!

is it possible to fit the pre rad without removing the front bumper?

Make sure you buy the proper GT4 sock. They are only about £13 from Toyota i think. You can then mount the CC in the correct position and now have it sloped towards the back. I had my car mapped with it sloped then remapped with it level and in the correct position and it made a lot of difference in its cooling efficiency. If you have it sloped then its closer to the turbo and it means the top part of the mesh inside the cooler doesnt have coolant flowing around it.

Probably yes!

depends what pre rad you use. This one was one that had been custom made and fit between the fogs so it was easier to remove the bumper!

I also wrapped all the pipes after installing them in reflective insulation tape, never got any technical figures, but the pipes were definately less flexible in the engine bay after doing so!

cheers

so should the top of the core be flat in relation to the ground in order to have the best cooling effect?

Yes. If its level then the coolant covers all the internals.

I don't got pics right now but I use orginal ic for as radiator... Simple installation. Takes only few hours to install.

[TubbyTwo]

your using the original intercooler?

[Neil_turbo]

looking at everyones installs above no-body has re-installed the fan that was on the intercooler - if you find an N/A in a scrappy/being broken, get the fan shround from that and the original intercooler fan fits to that as normal. Stops you having to put up with the light on your dash and helps with the cooling

[Greddy-Matt]

top tip there

[Race Idiot]

I know this is a silly question but whats the difference between this an an IC. Is it like an ic that has coolant running through it to keep the air cold?
