I have a Mitsubishi Ralliart Evo 6 intercooler at my house and was wonder if i modifed the tank ends to fit with the mini's intercooler inlet would it perform properly and being larger than a mini's intercooler would i notice any performance gains.

Thanks

You'd really have to measure it up yourself and see, but I don't see it fitting properly. Take into account the depth of the cooler, the width, and you'd most likely have to fab up your own diverter for it.

google setrab . they make intercoolers. they've got a chart that if you punch in the measurements of the i/c you'll get a reasonable idea as to pressure drops etc.

bigger ain't always better looks like .

isn't the EVO's IC a front mount?

Baker · Aug 7th, 2006, 04:46 AM

Up top

St00ge · Aug 7th, 2006, 06:07 AM

so is he thinking of mounting it to face the air, or in the same orientation as the stock cooler?

Baker · Aug 7th, 2006, 06:16 AM

I'd say he was thinking of replacing the stock topmount.

MNIMGK · Aug 7th, 2006, 10:13 AM

Yeh i was planning to replace the stock intercooler.

St00ge · Aug 7th, 2006, 02:11 PM

oh ok, well in that case, let us know how it goes!

And if you search on eBay you can find Cooper S bonnets with Evo vents to match your evo intercooler.

and here it is painted and fitted on a car

Richard Crofts · Aug 7th, 2006, 05:23 PM

That looks poo

The vents let you see what looks like the stock heat sheilding....plus it looks like a altered cooper bonnet not a proper bulged S bonnet....or is that my eyes

mc_stl · Aug 7th, 2006, 05:36 PM

pants. My Mini is a classic -- why would you want it to look like an Evo?

Saad · Aug 7th, 2006, 06:02 PM

hey I didn't say I approved. Just thought he might be interested.

MNIMGK · Aug 8th, 2006, 12:18 PM

My god that is ugly would never get that bonnet near my car

Hey Josh,

The orange wheels are interesting, You should try painting your wheels in that marble effect you used for your interior panels, i think you could come up with something pretty cool.
