Link To Hdi Intercooler Kit Group Buy, M35

[Sunkist]

i never use the AC. mines smells like puke.. i think i need to change the filter, but this is probably why I never see it turn on..

Group buy has now closed guys, but we did manage 8 orders all paid up

Just waiting on the tracking numbers from HDi but I believe that 6 kits were send out on Friday while we waited for slow-arse banks to process the last 2 payments.

Thanks to you all for the great response (10 orders in 4 weeks is pretty ambitious methinks).

Ps. for those who didn't make it in, I will probably look at another HDi Group Buy towards mid 2011

thanks for the effort. I was initially interested but with my stagea still being complied and not likely to be sitting in my driveway until after the new years break, and the fact that i'm out of the country for the better part of february, it looked like i was going to buy the cooler and have it sit in the garage til after summer was over. later in the year in time for next summer sounds like a pretty good idea to me...

For those who have yet to install the kit, the 12" slimline fan are once again available on eBay.

I was worried about this, so when I crimped the cables I used some plugs so that Id be able to easily swap them over if I got it wrong. Seems to be okay though!

my temp rockets up when i put the AC on. so im thinking its sucking air from the engine instead.

Easy way to view it is to turn the car on when you know the fan is working, turn it off and quickly run to the front to see which way the fan is turning (should be clockwise and you may need to remove your grill to see it properly). If wrong, simply switch the wires

Thanks Uncle cam.. yeh i know how to do it.. i just havnt been bothered.. I should really pull the grill off and check.. but the problem is i have to get it to 108c which is only gonna happen when its hot!

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

its so much quieter than the stock fan, maybe you dont know its on

[Dunc]

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

Likewise. To the point where it spooled up as I started the car after I installed it & the fmic.. which obviously took several hours and everything was well and truely cold by the end of it (and my AC is always turned on)

Yep, mine too

Quieter? You sure?? It is certainly more aggressive pushing air through though!!

(I can hardly remember the stock fan coming on though so I probably can't remember the noise lol)

Not that it is really required, but installation instructions can be found at the address below

Helped out Rosella with his today, what a nice kit, everything fitted up beautifully.

Intercooler kit installed courtesy of Dale on Sunday.

I've noticed a subtle difference and the fan does not seem as noisy at the original.

I'll be keeping an eye in it in the coming weeks.

Each time I returned to the car today I couldn't help but notice the shiny metal through the lower grill.

Nice, must admit I was a bit jealous once it started going together...

Did we get the fan direction right?
