Hey guys,

Just got a croydon style intercooler and am in the middle of attempting to figure out how the piping works, but the boys and i can't seem to figure out where it goes! Croydon said theres no cutting/welding etc involved and that it was a straight bolt on, but it doesnt appear that way.. Does anyone have instructions or any helpful advice? Thanks! The attached picture shows the kit..

REPLY ASAP

I believed ur misleaded!

it should be bolt on with minor modifications?

Ur kits seem like a normal kit, that goes over the FAN,

u gota trim the fan,

and u gota drill a hole under the washer bottle,

i think u also need to re locate ur washer bottle as well..

maybe i am wrong, but look like so.

rbfire is right. but you dont need to relocate your washer bottle.

line up the piping first untill you're 100% sure you know where you're meant to cut a hole. get a 3" hole saw and go for gold. you'll need to cut a chunk out of your bar support to fit the fmic too. the bottom brackets fit from the bolts that hold up the plastic shit under the motor.

the pipe on the left of the fmic in the pic goes from the fmic, in through the hole you have to drill under your washer bottle.

the pipe ontop of the fmic in the pic goes from the last pipe i mentioned to your crossover pipe (the one with your bov on it).

the pipe to the right of the fmic in the pic goes from the fmic to the stock pipe that leads from your turbo.

you'll figure it out.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
