Opel Frontera DTI FMIC in mk3 Cupra

[itraco]

Looks like a better fit then the lagua cooler.
How do you mount it ...

 

[kuprit]

I don't know if is better than laguna's (because here in Spain there is nobody with them) but is easier, definately.

I am doing the whole piping with inox pipes joining them with silicone elbows, but you can make it whole in silicone hoses (joining them with metal pipes), if you want:

There is no possible to put this intercooler without cutting the bar. But if you want, you can buy another one (not new), it's not expensive.

Regards

PD: I am wishing to have end this work on my car. Mates tell me that the car pulls harder on the top rpms.

 

[bucky boy]

you got a part number for the intercooler

 

[kuprit]

I don't know the part number, but is easy, all fronteras with the 2.3 and 2.8 Turbo Diesel have it.

Does the bumper go back on with the standard mesh in place?

I have managed to source the intercooler for 45 + vat so could be a cheap option the whole lot for around 100.

 

[pdcupra]

did you get it for £45 +vat new or from a scrappers?

 

[C3 LJG]

Thats for a used one haven't got it yet just found somewhere with one in stock locally, they are around 225 new from the dealers.

dont like the idea of chopping the crash bar.
