Yep thats right my baby, is fixed and purring like a kitten...... fully recond head, ported exhaust manifold, new rad / intercooler yadda yadda yada and now she is sweet ! Can't wait to finish the first 300 miles so I can turn the boost up a little....

Now I just got to sort out the PC

Awesome stuffffff!

Can I ask....how have you mounted the cooler in the 406?

We didnt get the 2.0T in the 406 here - Only the Xantia got that motor down under!

Its another stock intercooler, it fits between the rad and the AC condensor... an aftermarket oe will be installed once she is 1000 miles in to the new head...

Thanks Welly,

I thought so too, especially when I drove her last night, forgot how lush it was!!!!

well done!
i take it you've got the intercooler now then, or is it the buggerd one?

I drove it to and from and all around..... lol nearly 100 miles on it already !!!

I got the new intercooler, I thought I messaged you about it to tell you what happened ????

darn it.... i know i sent one to you.......... he had unwrapped it and brought it back...its a bit worse for wear but is on the car..... you can put a claim in for the delivery charges and I ccould if \I wanted to claim for a new unit, but I'm not bothered, its not leaking so I don't care lol

Well done Niz!!!

thats great, at least you got it, i doubt its anyworse than when it left me, as it was pretty mullerd when i packaged it, was it the exact right one

Yeah..... just dont admit that to them lol

I used a Valeo RAD and a Valeo IC and they didn't fit on the car together, I couldn't get the charge hose from the IC to the inlet to fit in the null space between the rad and ic outlet..... very annoying ! had to move the rad forward, place the IC hose on then put the rad back... with some force I might add!!!

But its all good and sealed, and souds mint !!! only noise from the engine is injector tick and the purge canister valve ticking... but hey I don't care... its fixed and on the road !!!

how long till you bust this intercooler then?

niz406 · Post by **niz406** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 8:59 pm

Well I recckon about 6 months or so....

I may have a solution though before that happens... I'm working on the idea of a Lexarse Soarer Twin Turbo Intercooler, mounted under the inner wing like on the soarer... those bad boys run @ 280ho, so plenty of cooling capability for the 406! I'm hoping anyway !
