i wanted to do this but spoke to transit geoff

who said this::

i tried once to intercool an epic system turbo di with no luck we fitted a custom built intercooler plumbed it all in nice drove it pulled well,BUT as soon as you try to level out the speed the engine started hunting like mad,i had a local turbo expert on it who had diagrams from Ford, he put restrictors of some kind into the vacuum line i think but he couldnt stop it hunting so in the end we gave up and put it back to standard


but talking to nighthawk he thinks a intercooler off of a 3512 daily should do the job with custom pipework or a duratorq should do it
heres what nighthawk said::

a duratorq item should have enough flow capacity for the 2.5 and is about the same physical size.

Both items have easy pipework arrangements too. The main differences to consider are the fixing points, the Transit cooler uses 4 bolts in the top of it and the daily item has brackets which attach to the sides of the cooler.

Horses for courses really.

whos got that intercooler arrangment now as i'm not running crappy epic on mine

[MrMPuk]

He doesn't really give any details but I think he already has a 115 ps intercooled engine (well in another post he says it is anyway), so maybe he's having problems and wants to check something.

are you talking about me ??? as mines only a 100ps thats why i want to intercool it and chip it at the same time

[MrMPuk]

No, ryzman. I was posting the same time as you!

agree with you there what pump did you use on yours??

[ryzman]

not having any problems but the guy who gave me the minibus told me it was 115 ps but he was telling porkeys it just 100 ps bit of a disapointment but still its a genuine 70000 miles on it now and nice recon turbo from 100ps drw been messing about with pump and turbo pressure accelaration i'm on the bumper of the vito with four moto cross bikes in back just top end he leaves me! now got some alloys with larger rolling radius so little more power be nice!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

glad the turbo's fine have you thought about getting it chipped?? could be the way to go

[ryzman]

bannana di pump then adjusted timing slightly and low down fuel pressure and maximum fuel pressure with blue spot injectors starts on the button and goes sideway nicely round rounabouts in the dry

what ps engine are the blue spot injecters from?? same as the pump???

mine struggles to break grip in the dry (twin wheels)

[ryzman]

no the are the turbo injectors am trying to find out what colour was used on the 115ps any ideas? Mine will smoke tyres round roundabout with plenty of clutch and on 225 wide tyres
