Bigger top mount intercooler
 
I'm letting some more ponies out of my rb320,got the 880cc injectors and rcm tubular headers all ready but I don't want to change to front Mount intercooler,I need a bigger top Mount to push beyond the 420bhp mark..Any ideas?? Cheers

I bought that tmic off Ty.
I haven't used it because I may be going down a different route.Ask TY about the dimensions etc as I am not 100% certain what they are.
If you are then interested send me a pm.

without paying silly money bit of a lost cause mate, john felsted runs a top mount that goes over 400 no problems, but it cost 2 grand.

just front mount it and also think about syvecs ecu

I didn't want to take away originality with front mount tbh bud,Dean three arches forged the engine as we all know 2.5 are weak,it's got ecutec ecu on it but just don't want to over modify her engine look :)

The Lichfield Hawk JDM ran 415 bhp on a standard mount.

I'm sure ty had his intercooler made in Hereford, I know for certain that chevron motorsports top mount will piss the 400 plus horsepower, give Simon a call on 01785 223336 he'll give you all the info you need...

Dave Y 23 October 2015 02:56 PM

it was made in Hereford.I had planned to use it with my 2.1 build but have decided to go down a different route.

Mahle pistons and con rods,everything else on build is cosworth,stud conversion and new block not bored out..Dean three arches don't do half jobs on engine builds :)

so its closed deck converted as well? my 2.5 build is,,,,,,,

hahaha sorry i'm being pedantic now. reason for question is standard rods limit it to around 400bhp.

Personaly i'd just bite the bullet, chuck an sc46+ go front mount and syvecs, why have a nice spec build then not get the best potential from it

I've taken out standard turbo on the rb320 which is vf43 I think and put in a sc42+ I just want some more ponies and reliability plus keeping it a standard looking rb320. Not maxing out engine but a few more horses ain't gonna hurt either :)
