mk1 nova intercooler size/ pics?

[Danb1987]

Going to be sticking a c20ne turbo engine in my saloon at some point in the near future and from what iv read they need fairly large intercoolers to help with temps etc,

Has anyone got pics of decent sized front mounts hidden the best they can be on a mk1 gte bumper?

depending on the size of turbo & the pressure you ask of it, will determine your intercooler. If you are going to try & hide it, this will reduce it's cooling ability also.

I reckon you could run a lengthy but shallow ic accross the top of the rad behind the grille. I did it on a mk2 without mods, so with some fettling of anything that fouls on the back edge of the grille, it ought to go in. Either measure up what space you have or bite the bullet & buy the ic & 'make' it fit.

I had this hidden behind a mk2 grille. It was higher up on its brackets obviously.
