Intercooler advice pls

[Jamest5r]

What i need to know is as you can see this i/c is a bit wide with the 3" ports at the side so... is it possible to have the bits on the side cut off and welded to the front so i have the two ports in the top corners if you see what i mean lol.

Cheers

aslong as you can find someone to do the alloy welding then yes, Claymore moved the ports on his Noble intercooler

Wow James that is going to be some serious sized silicone fitments lol,

Blimey that's some cooler, what was that originally fitted to? An Evo or something..

as lng as you get a good engineering company to do it then yes no problems, even the 90 degree exit shouldn't be a hamper as it's coming right off a pressurisd chamber.

first rule of intercooler choice is blue peter, make it out of cardboard and see if it fits...

hope you dont mind me asking but what did it cost to get that modified and welded

I had a mate do it, cost me £20, but I would estimate that it would take a couple of hours if you were to take it to a fabricator, so probably the best part of £100

Cheers Colin but i cant do that as its too wide :) what i need to do is to take the inlets off the side then it will fit between the headlights and have the ports either coming from the top or front.

It does fit lol been using it for the last year i just want to adapt it so i can shorten the pipework :)

[claymore]

I cant see a problem, just cut the two pipes off, weld plates over the holes, then cut new holes where you need the pipes.

I can see a problem with that one, first bit of proper boost and the pipes would pop off, you have to weld a bead around the edge to keep the clamps on.
