hi guys,im new to the scooby scene but have been a mechanic for 5 years now so got a bit of knowledge.
bought a scooby off a bloke on ere who bought it off a bloke on ere last year,(still with me?) apparently the bloke i got it from replaced the i/c cos the old one was fooked,now its not running 0.9bar its running0.7?? its a 95 uk 2000 with full decat and 3 inch downpipe,h&s back box.
the i/c has got sti in red on it and has a number 3 on side,ive been told on scoobcity that i can fit a straight intercooler which will be better,can anyone advise me on this or has anyone done this.
cheers guys

 

I was under the impression that the slanty intercooler was fitted to the STI cause it was better than the straight kind. Im usually wrong though...LOL

 

ha ha,i aint got a clue but was told the slanty ones are crap coz very small??

 

I suppose a larger intercooler is always gonna help no matter which way it slants. I hear though that since the air still comes through the scoop and hits the same part of the intercooler going up too big can be a waste. A lot of people move the intercooler to the front of the car under the radiator. I was considering this once but the kits run into thousands of pounds and my budget just didnt stretch that far.

 

same here mate, fmic are very expensive but look good and are much better

 

Iwanted to do it so i could fit a standard sports bonnet. Lol every chav in a 206 seems to have a bonnet scoop around here. I was just going to rebel the other way...LOL

 

ha ha,i see, since i got my scoob got loadsa chacs in escorts,novas etc coming up behind me,i just smile at them in the mirror and boot off....bye bye......tiiiissshhhhhh

 

Slanty intercooler is crap is the smallest of all , later spec 98 can be fit easily and are larger ,or spec 99-00 is larger again but requires blanking plate for dump valve or later models again are bigger but more awkward to fit , hybrid front mount complete kits can be bought for about £300-£400 try Harvey or On-lineflat4 they both sell them , there was a group buy on i have a 99-00 spec fitted to a my93 bought with all bits to fit for £150 was a few years ago probably cheaper now just remember some of the hoses are expensive .

AFAIK, it will fit, but there's quite a bit of work involved with it.
Search the projects section, there's likely to be info on there about doing it
