    Where to get an intercooler fitted (Melb)?

    I have recently bought a Courtenay Sport Intercooler for my AH SriT and just wondering if anyone knew a reputable workshop to fit this for me?

    Anywhere around Melbourne is fine (preferably north - westish) but I am looking for a a place who will do a good job.

    Any recommendations or contacts would be great.

    Cheers

    im not sure if they are still open or not, but Monaro Performance Centre would do a good job (they have worked on a heap of Opels). Unfortunately, they may have finished up though because the owner wanted to move on to something else. @Nurb608 may be able to assist you as hes in the west

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    To fit is soooo easy. I think there's even a how-to at Courtenays website.

    Yeah should be an easy fit up i would imagine but if you're not DIY inclined you could give Rajab Racing in Campbellfield a call. Opel isn't their normal fare but they've been building and racing turbo cars for donkeys years and do good work i'm told from a friend that uses them for normal servicing.

    It's pretty straightforward, there is a how to on the Courtenay website, you need to cut a coolant hose shorter to prevent it rubbing with engine movement, so you will need to do a coolant change at the same time , you need to drill a 8mm hole to allow a bracket to bolt on and possibly may have to file down the top corner of your radiator.

    I have one coming and hopefully have it fitted up in a couple of weeks.

    I think @Nurb608 has fitted one for someone before so may be able to help out if you ask nicely

    Thanks guys, I'm pretty handy, just haven't attempted anything like this before.

    Any help from Nurb608, if he's got spare time, would be great Click here to enlarge

    And as mickos said, I'd be more than willing to throw some $ his way too.

    Hey mate,

    I can help out no problems. As i learnt, definitely need to cut the coolant hose but pretty straight forward. Need a soldering iron as well. Where in NW? Or just message me.
