Hi WOGZLR,

Interesting to see road mods instead of off road mods.
Could you tell me where you mounted your oil catch can?

[WOGZLR]

sierra..i mounted it next to the power steering bottle
cheers

Can't squeeze mine in there but over in the corner next to the brake booster might be a good spot if I can move the wiring harness a bit. Might blank the intake hose and vent the can to atmosphere?

yerp i had it like that once befor..and yes just chuck a mini pod (oil breather filter) over the catch can so it can be vented out,dont put a hose going back to ur intake..if you remove ur intercooler,hold it to the side u will have around .5 litre or oil leakout (depending on how much Ks) and i dont think anybody wants that..
cheers

So you drained 500ml of oil from your intercooler!
How many km was that from? Did the engine use any oil between changes?

If it's relatively easy to remove it would be worth cleaning the intercooler out with some solvent like methylated spirit.
Where did you get the larger intercooler, did it make a difference and was it an easy fit?
The core on mine is about 300 x 200 x 50mm so your 600 x 300 x 100 is 6 x the volume!!!!!!! 3 x the frontal area and double the thickness. As they say, think of it as a heat sink reservoir with the ability to absorb heat rather than dissapate it and it shows the instant advantage it has.
Thanks for the tips.

that was at around 50***ks..im at 82 now..and yes its not that hard to remove if ur willing to get ur hands lilttle bit dirty..first..front bumper comes off *by memory its 3 bolts on left..3 bolts on right..2 in the centre and a couple of plastic clips..thats that hard part done..intercooler had around 3 bolts holding it in place..and just the 2 clamps that are connected to the piping..honestly its only around 30min job max.and i bought my intercooler from autobahn for 360..difference isnt a WOOOOOW..but it helps ..n yes i used metho to clean my cooler to..
cheers
