Allard front mounting Intercooler and pipes
The intercooler is a very important part in highly modified turbo engines. They provide de capacity to decrease the air temperature after the turbocharger heats it. Choosing the right intercoler is a very important. Cooler air going into the engine means that other modifications that increase fuel delivery can be done, or if the exhaust is smoky at full load, the denser air will help turn some of that smoke into power. My first approach was to install the 150PD OEM intercooler. I had the some of the parts needed but it was not possible to install it. So, my next try was with the Allard FMIC. This intercooler is incredible. A very high quality and highly effective intercooler system, designed and manufactured by Allard, incorporating welded mounting bosses top and bottom, very light weight (motorsport use recommended). The Allard conversion has the Intercooler, aluminum pipes, silicone hoses and clips and brackets. This conversion can not only be fitted in standard manifolds and turbocharger systems, but with specific Allard parts. This conversion requires no cutting of the bumper to fit, also de crash bar is not modified or weakened in any way. The intercooler is a single pass system, which should be the most efficient design. The inlet and outlet pipes of intercooler are 60mm O/D, also the size of the pipes. The size of the core is 500x32x60. the core provides excellent dissipation of heat and significant advance in power and torque. providing much improved driveability and reliability to the engine. The upper pipe was provided to fit an inlet manifold facing the other way. So this way the distance is shorter to the inlet manifold.
