CP-E intercooler installed :)

z19930612 · 07-02-2014, 11:45 AM

Took me about two hours to get it done as this was my first time, I think I would be able to finish it in 30mins next time lol

The most time consuming bit actually is tighten those taps... As it has a bolt you need to tighten, and there isn't two much space for you around cold and hot pipes
But the mounting is same as oem mounting so you don't have to drill any holes: shown in the picture

Rubber pipes and annoying taps...

z19930612 · 07-02-2014, 11:50 AM

Still have plenty space in front of IC if you got M3 front end like mine

Parts I took out from the car:

This new intercooler feels more than twice heavier than the OEM IC, not sure will it affect the balance of the car lol

Oh what is that box for in the boot?

z19930612 · 07-02-2014, 11:59 AM

Mate, I saw you got M3 interior fitted(I am that Chinese guy you met last month on 55 highgate road

), have you done any rewiring to it to make it work or it just simply blot on? A guy has half electric seat wants my full electric interior but we tried to put seat on and connect the connector but seat is not adjustable

, so could you please share some informations about wirings if you have made some changes to the existing one, thanks
