Dirty MAF sensor and intercooler leak

Hi all time for an update on my new IC

managed to stretch the budget and get a monster intercooler from Diesel Smart (at a very good price)
placed the order Thursday and it arrived on my door Monday (fantastic service).
Spent the rest of the week looking at the thing itching for some time to do the install.

So started with catch-can install and went the provent 200. As I’m undecided on the final install position
I made a temp bracket out of some curtain rod hangers (hope the misses don’t notice)

Plumbed up the new system with Ford heater hoses as they have a flared end that fit the provent perfectly .

Now for the Intercooler, removed the old unit and found another reason to get out the degreaser

Good feeling about the new IC

Fitting was almost easy needed to move a few things and the fan was hitting on the throttle body and needed a bit of adjustment

In total spent about 3 hours on the intercooler and thought it an absolute bonus when I started her up and nothing seemed to be wrong

Can highly recommend this upgrade …she runs so well now … think the fan will suck small birds out of the sky.

Quick Question …. I have the fan wired in to ignition power so comes on at start …. need to hook-up a thermo for it ….. what temp should it come on at ???

Thanks Heinz

that flared heater hose is going to be handy for any future Provent can fit ups,
That IC is huge compared to OE, I have a DS IC and its not that big.
Do you have gauges fitted?? thinking EGTs will be down now.

Unfortunately no gages yet … that will be the next project .. was hoping to do them before IC so I could monitor changes

to feed that IC you'll either need the Fairlane scoop like Stropps or the A.R.E scoop like mine,
They say my scoop works at lower speeds, don't know about the wide ones, IMO I think the bulbar
interferes with the air flow over bonnet

been admiring your scoop for a while its on the wish list just need to get some more coin and make shaw the misses an't lookin

How tall is your scoop ??

I think its 76mm no dramas my missus hasn't picked it yet. lol
Blue tac some cotton to your bonnet and see what happens,
you'll be very surprised

i can already feel the diferance in scoop failure with no fan power is down and long lag between gears ... fan on quicker responce power and short lag,
fan works grate but i dont wont it on 100% of the time ... with a better design scoop i recon she will be perfect in all conditions
