Bongo Fury

Looking for info on how to replace bongo intercooler with another larger second hand one (not a custom = expensive job) hear that the spacewagon one can be used or was it the delica one. ANyone done this any feedback on power gain mpg comparisons?

Hi
It's not as easy as just "bunging on" a larger intercooler...there are a few other factors that need addressing ....you'd be better cleaning your own one out inside- degreasing, and straightening the fins

This has come up a few times: http://igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/sear ... mit=Search

just measured the intercooler rough measurements are

1ft wide x 6" high x 2.5" deep not very big at all
for now i have expanded the plastic scoops with some struts to see if this makes any difference. I'll take the thing off when it warms up a bit and stops raining and give it a good clean inside and straighten the fins up

cheers Paul
I'll be also looking into getting a bigger one and stick it in the front with my mechanic friend anyone got the details on the adjustments 'tuneup that is required? sorry he'll be doing the technical stuff not me but if you tell me what needs doing i can pass it on to him anything need doing with the turbo also?

thanks

I'm slowly putting together a water cooled intercooler for mine, been a while in the making but should be good when finished, just need coolant pipes now really and to fit it all!

I recall reading of a system that sprayed water/methanol onto the intercooler to improve its effectiveness through evaporative cooling. Didn't require huge quantities of spraying to achieve a result. Might be worth googling?

Yup. Just googled ' evaporative intercooler'. Loads of stuff about it. Sounds like fun
