Wrx intercooler in gq?

[AB]

Hi folks,


I can get my hands on a free front mount intercooler with mandrel bends from wrx.

Is it even worth the hassle to even contemplate fitting this to my gq or not?

Can't see it fitting on the front, haven't even checked any measurements for top mount or anything but just seeing if anyone thinks this is just a waste of time or can't be done, etc??

Obviously the bends won't line up but is it worth grabbing it or will it be another garden ornament on the property?

I rekon it could work you'd just ned to re do the cooler piping. The core size is about 600mm x 245mm x 76mm yeah ??? The CC ones are 600 x 300 x 76 so it shouldn't be a drama, any anyway its free so take it lol.

Take it Andy... I think the WRX intercooler was an option that George was thinking about when I was looking for one.

I would use it as a front mount over a top mount everyday of the week. If it's free go for it. Just make sure you use 2.5" piping at a minimum. It will fit nicely behind the grill

[AB]

Awesome thanks gents, stay tuned for a how the f do I fit this coming soon...lol

Yeah the 2.5" would make the lag less noticeable if it was front mounted

What you guys lack in technique you make up for with your right foot.

AB however doesn't require the right foot as much due to correct technique and doesn't break as much either.

What's wrong with an intercooler? It's all a benefit mate and I would think yours would benefit from it as will with all the smoke it was blowing and that bad tune :p.

[Timbo]

BA, Yeah, fortunately/unfortunately.

Still for sale if ya want it big guy! ;)

You could join the illustrious GU Diesel faction of the Church of Patrology then!

Sounds like you need to move in with AB and keep him warm at night mate. ;)

I didn't say anything was wrong with having an intercooler. As for mine, ain't no amount of intercooler going to help it without the right turbo.

[nissannewby]

What turbo?

[Alitis007]

Me no understany???????

I'll explain when you get a turbo !!!!

[AB]

It looks to be almost identical shape to the gq grill.

Identical!!
