HDI 90 Intercooler?

[lazarus79]

Hi,

Will ask from my other post correctly in a new topic. Will the intercooler from an HDI 110 fit on a 90 if I changed the air filter box, connecting pipes from the turbo to the intercooler and intercooler to manifiold? or do you need the manifold too?

You dont need the manifold itself but you need the 90 degree bend pipe coming off the manifold as it has a connection for the intercooler. You're wasting your time by the way, its a lot of work and you wont see any results and your power definitely wont be 110 if you install it. Might even be less that 90

It'll need a remap to work properly.

thanks for your replies. Was going to get a remap done, but was thinking of fitting the intercooler 1st, does this make sense and will it make a diff? does the 110 have a larger turbo?

Hold on a mo, I think remapping a 90 rather depends on what system it has - Bosch are ok but I think Siemen's aren't remappable. WHich do you have?

[lazarus79]

oh right didnt know that, and havent looked as not long got the car. Is this the case that only 1 is remapable?

Been thinking about this mod. Am I right in saying that the piping and intercooler from the 110 will be a straight fit on the 90 and after a remap the 90 should make the same power as a remapped 110?

I knw the FMIC is the way to go if you want to increase turbo boost pressures and 306 HDI owners suggest 150bhp is achieveable with a FMIC and a couple of other mods.

I guess my next question is: Am I silly doing this on a car with 170k on the clock? I would have a sneaking suspicion that my original clutch along with other items mite retire the first time I plant the right foot
