I just finished my new intercooler relocation and I'm pretty happy with it. It stays really cool with the big hole I cut in the engine lid! :)

that really is route 1 isnt it,no long pipework at all,turbo straight into IC and then a small bend into TB,you got a big fan under that kirk?
hi paul. Yeah I've got a 10" spal fan but there's no room for it underneath. I still need to sort out the intake and other stuff to make some room under there.
what about modding the lid some more,fit a turbo vent on the lid over the ic and stick the fan on top of the ic? theres a good 2" of space above it when you do that....just an idea.
I've got an SC lid that I will probably mod later.
i have done some pressure testing with a good friend of mine who is an air conditioning engineer.Originally Posted by robwsurf
On my i/c setup i am going to duct the air out the back of the car where the numberplate is usually and wanted to duct it using a scoop on the bootlid hopefully using the -tive pressure behind the car and the +tive pressure ontop of the bootlid. I originally wanted to duct the air from under the car but the exhaust was in the way.
Using some pressure difference testing equipment scott brought over we started by testing the pressure difference between the bootlid and the numberplate this showed pretty much 0 pressure difference at 80-100km/hr.
2nd place to be tested was the rear quater panel which showed marginal difference but not enough (you would proabably have to do 200km/hr to get any flow).
Next place was on the side of the c pillar where you see the sw20 scoops that people put on their cars. This showed a huge pressure difference at even 40-50km/hr.
Last place we tested was at the back of the roof just above the rear windscreen this showed a similar difference to the c pillar.
So if i was to use a scoop on the bootlid i would have needed a fan to draw air into the i/c.
Hope this helps
