What I/c To Buy

[mark61]

I realy think that for the small price of the re tune ,relative to the price of an injury to your motor, better to be safe than sorry. Better still give your respective tuner a call and get their oppinion

That's why the tube and fin was recommended to me.

Each to their own of course, they both have their pros and cons.

Couldn't agree more, that's pretty much the guts of it...Its all depends on the intended application

when driving it to and from work today I didnt drive it to hard until a P plater in a VE V6 Late model camira wanted a run at a set of lights,I couldnt help myself and had a quick run.As soon as io got home I put the standard tune back in just to be safe until I get it retuned shortly..

So I went to a mates house to help him put the wog cooler in its a 02 model t any way it all went in ok exept there was a oil cooler line or some thing under the stock cooler now we couldn't screw it back on so then he screwed it on backwards it just dosent seem right any one else have this prob

no instructions

there are 2 holes in the radiator suport bracket the oil cooler brakets come out of they line up so get your self 2 35-49mm long bolts and bolt it in

What a bitch. Upper brackets were no issue, lower brackets I had zero luck with, just couldnt get the holes quite right in line..

Doesnt help weenie pics in the instructions...any better pics of the lower brackets installed in the forum some place? The bracket with the slight right angle bend, is that the drivers side one (the 'extra' bend as in the instuctions?). Does the 'right angle' but go on the bolt end or the car end? Couple of bigger pics and I couldve told myself this!

Also.....I will NEVER attempt to remove the upper IC hose again....cant believe the amount of effort and yanking to get the bastard off...lower hose was fine.

Couple of things I noticed in my travels...the metal piping which runs under the drivers headlight, does that have like a support at the front of the engine block? Couldnt get my hand in but noticed a loose looking hose clamp sitting down there on it?

I'll check again this weekend and want to check the I/C to turbo hose on the turbo end, couldnt get the mitt in there either. Some of you guys must have small hands or sh*t hot handcream

yeh I did mine a few weeks ago it took me ages to line up the brackets you need 2 people so one can hold in place and other can line up brackets idont tighten the brackets to the cooler leave a bit of movement then fit bottom ones and then top ones to car just get each one started dont tighten one at a time I had to do each one a little bit at a time to get it sittin in the right place and to get it level so it looks good from the front of the car

some guys on here say its a piss easy job I'm no mechanic but I know my basics and it took a lot of patience to get it right

The brackets just need a little rebending and it works fine, takes me about an hour to do the install from start to finish now, so it aint to bad once you know what you are doing.
