[russ_si]

Ok update,

Just droped the car off to get a few bits of welding done befor the new m.o.t
not anything big just a few small bit here and there that i had seen when i was working on the floor.
I havnt driven it for about four months and first time with the turbo engine in it as i only just got it insured at the weekend with adrian flux they were very helpfull and when you tell them its got an rs turbo engine in it they dont just put the phone down on you
Only went about half a mile up the road but every thing seemed to go ok look it nice slow just to be sure just dosent feel like the same car

Really looking forwould to putting the chip etc on it getting it setup and getting back on the road with it

Coolio

hows it running Russ

[wakeboardtom]

Looking

Just out of interest has anyone ever done a big intercooler in an Si Bumper? Could look good?

[Ollybee]

Sweeet!

[russ_si]

Its running ok havnt fitted the chip etc yet because i want to get it setup soon as i
do and dont think any where is open being xmas/new year time.

Some times can be a bit lumpy on idle think it just need fine tuning but revs up fine and holds about half a bar boost with out any problems.
Iv been driving it really slow tho beacuse i keep thinking im going to blow it up every time i put my foot down
Had to put the bonnet up at the back because it was getting to hot when sitting in traffic and didnt want to put an rs bonnet on it as i want to try keep it standard looking

Iv been driving it every day to work just trying to get used to it seems a big step up from having a 1400cc so much more torque dont know what its going to be like with the chip on

As for a big intercooler dont really know?
Had to cut a fair bit out to fit the pace one, the si bumpers seem to come back more than the rs ones think you would have to do a lot of work to fit some think like a grs cooler and would end up looking a bit poo.

looking good matey

i like it!!

as for big fmic, i thought about it for mine, heres the mock up pic i did...

i really think it would look good!

[jayrs]

[Ghost]

Just out of interest has anyone ever done a big intercooler in an Si Bumper? Could look good?

we will see how it looks soon

[garyhurn77]

lovely looking si

nice to see an si turbo dont tend to see many, they are normally 2.0 zetecs


let us know what its like once its setup

[russ_si]

I like that!
Thats the only way i could think of doing it just cut out the lower part some more i remember seeing
an blue zetec turbo si in pf some time ago with the hole center cut out and i big cooler behide it but i didnt like it very much.

Might have a play around with an old bumper see what i can come up with.

Russell.

[knuckles]

Engine looks sweet

Does it really get that hot without the rs bonnet ?

[Xr_Dub]

it does you know in the summer,
i had to put the heater on full when sitting in traffic to get rid of the heat
that caused when sitting in traffic...

in the winter you dont need to worry as its normal but summers a biatch
when you sitting in traffic it killed my stater motor..

im just wating till winters over then its all about lovured bonnet but nice and subtle not ott

[russ_si]

Um not really sure iv never had an rs engine car before so dont really know what temp thay run at?
Mine will sit at about 90*c when driving dosnt take long before the fan comes on in traffic tho, is this to hot???
The si bumpers dont seem to flow air as well as the rs ones.

Putting the bonnet up seems to help it a bit so left it like it.

Also have this problem
