herbiemercman Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, I am shortly having the na/t conversion and i realise the inter-cooler is located in the air intake aperture, ( the sharks mouth), i have always had a stainless steel mesh in the aperture and the number plate, there have never been any engine running temp issues, in traffic jams , high speed etc, MY question is will the inter-cooler operate ok ? I do not see why not, but where it is easy to see what is happening with the engine temp i cannot see how one can see if the inter-cooler with the same grille and number plate fitted will perform.? Any comments will be appreciated. I put the number plate in the aperture as it looks better IMHO and is more aero- dynamic. herbiemercman.

craig85 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Move it, an intercooler only works properly when it has air flowing through it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 As above. Move it out the way so it doesn't restrict the flow. Try a UK plate holder for the front bumper. Means it will be just above where it is now. See here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Thankyou guys, as usual got the answer i thought i would get, just did not want dr jekyll to have to tell me when i deliver my car for the conversion. I just wondered if the engine cooling is ok then would the inter-cooler be ok. Tony TT, your car looks great, where do you source the uk number plate and mounting.? herbiemercman.
