Intercooler install
let me be the first to say that i have a very vague idea of how to install the intercooler in this rig. i have never installed one before and i want to try it on my own rig before i do a customers.
i contacted Bell Intercoolers in Texas (thanks for the lead on the other thread) and Gerhard was great help. we designed the unit to drop .05 psi from the turbo to the throttle body. it is supposed to drop the temp of the intake air from 72C to 30C, WOW!!
i tried to make the intercooler fit properly between the grill plastic and the rad. the front support will be taken out or modified and the lower box support will have a notch cut into it, the next one i order will be 1" shorter in height as this one is just a bit tight.
i found a web site that has all the rubber elbows a guy could ever need and they also turn and reduce to enlarge as needed. this is high end stuff.
anyway, here are a couple pics of what i think will work. if anyone has a different suggestion short of a different cooler feel free to post it up.
cheers

Good to know you can order a custom intercooler .. you need to know the amount of CFM to your engine and flow of your turbo .. ?

Looks good wayne!! Inspiration to get off my butt and get the intercooler in the 61.
It's a different style then I thought. I just assumed that the inlet and outlet would be on different ends of the cooler. Looks like it should work well. Are you going to run dual boosts gauges just for a test. I would bew interested in the lost pre and post cooler.
I removed my center hood latch support but kept the latch. To help with the bumps I added hood pins. They have worked very well.
keep the pics coming!
That rig is really cool.

Looks like its time to show my intercooler install. I don't have the plumbing done yet, still waiting on my order. What place did you find for your plumbing? I need a 2" to 2.5" coupler/reducer. I will give more info tonight with pictures.

Wayne,
it is looking pretty good. Does yours have the A/C or is this a no A/C unit. I think I will wait until your done and then try to put this on some of my 70's
Thanks Wayne,
Cheers,
Michael

i am looking into the AC, i have a brand new heating system waiting in the shop if i decide to go with the AC. actually after taking it for a spin the other day i tried to turn from floor heat to defrost and found the linkage stuck so i might be changing quicker than i thought...tlcruiserman said:Wayne,

I've got my Webasto in my turbo-ed 3B. The trick is to move the passenger side battery over to the drivers side and put them both together...then you have lots of room. I also recomend Optimas due to the small size.
Here are a couple of pictures;

As for install time, it is really basic, but time consuming. Mount it (usually the challenging part). Tee off your fuel line. 12 Volts for the pump. Run it inbetween the coolant line leaving the front of the head where it goes back to the heater core (this forces the coolant to run through your core and back into
the block insuring that you get a warm block and warm air when you start it).
It took me about 4-5 hours.
HTH,
Craig.
un-real. Great work Wayne.
