Intercooler Modification ... Who Does This?

Hi,

I've got a S2 GTST and i cant use the hybrid type cooler piping kits because i've got a washer bottle where i need to cut out the 3" hole.

I want to get my left end tank (if looking front on with the car) on my cooler modified and have a 90 degree looking bend coming right off the end tank to go behind the cooler so that i can connect other piping. Similiar to that of a Blitz cooler but have the pipe go behind not under the cooler.

Also, i dont want to buy another cooler so that's why i want it modded.

So who would be the best person, tradesman to go and see?? i have no idea if an exhaust place is better than an aluminuim fabricator etc? Opinions?

Thanks

Steve

remove the wheel arch n cut a hole ..if u unscrew the washer bottle , u will c it doesnt interfer with the cooler pipes at all. u only have to relocate a small braket holding a few electrical things to anotehr screw 4 cm back..

Hi Guys,

thanks for your input so far....

have a look at the following pics (the first two is from the hybrid cooler installation manual (step 1 and 2) and the other is a pic of my car).

So...

are you saying my washer bottle can stay where it is without interfering with the piping?? cuz i know the S1 dont have the washer bottle there and i havent seen where S2 2 door's washer bottles are located.

Also, are S2 2 doors the same as that of a sedan.. cuz i got a sedan.

However, getting back on the original topic... would a radiator place would be the best option to get the cooler end tanks modified?

Hi,

Doesnt your piping hit gutters etc... my car isnt lowered and it still hits even with care.

Also, if i move the washer bottle, where would the best location be cause i dont believe it can move back. it would have to move to the other side of the car... unless i get a totally different bottle... any suggestions?

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
