Hi all,

Anyone can recommend me a workshop to redo my intercooler?

The intercooler is broken at the side. Need a replacement unit but also need the workshop to modify a bracket to fit in the existing fan to the new cooler.

Prefer a place near Cheras area where possible.

Thx

Hi all,

The rounded black is where it's broken and the rounded red is the suction fan where I'd want to have it on the new intercooler.

Any workshop recommendation and maybe a suggestion of a new intercooler?

so my quessing are wrong.. it's a intercooler that i never see in my life.

Ok, back to PS question..

for the broken alum clipper on the side, actually you can go to any Radiator service/exhaust shop that around u and ask for full alum welding on that particular parts. no need to replace with new IC.

and for the suction fan, i just can't help as dont know what is the specification of the fan..

can they even weld it back? The broken part is where the fins are connected to the seam...throughout the seam!

The cooler has a label - Nissan. I think SR20.

As far as I know, intercooler seldom break from there. Maybe a lot of vibration. Probably you will need a replacement instead.

To me, intercooler needs most cooling at high speed (turbo boost). Having a fan seems to block the air passage at high speed.

Very true vr2Turbo.

But mine does not have an opening on the bonnet for air to go through it. Thus, the fan to assist in pulling the air through it. Need this setup as the Kembara does offroading and occasionally go cruising some river.

something like this....



That's why I need the bonnet closed and the cooler high up. Less likely to be damaged.

So anyone can recommend a workshop? Need it repaired ASAP.
