Thanks mate, I have done mine now and ended up buying 3 different cooler and used the radiator from the Saab donar car, had to jiggle power steering pipes and the bumper was a challenge but it's done now ..Terry wrote:Hi Leigh...Think I may have replied to you on facebook regarding the intercooler.
Yes there was quite a bit of fettling done to get the IC to fit. I had to cut the lip off the bottom radiator support and weld it up. Also had to cut the ends of the chassis legs for the pipework to fit.
Black part of the bumper also had to be trimmed a bit.
Will do Humbucker

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
Rear twin's do look more subtle that that bit ole' can on the back.
Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
No Dan, I was just comparing tail pipes to see what I liked. That big ole can is ridiculously loud. It's straight through pipe to the back box.
Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
I got a bit bored as the Cav is still at the exhaust builders, So I got to sorting the actuator bracket.
You have to cut off the old standard actuator from the bracket.
Then drill holes to mount the new actuator. I did intend to get it chromed but decided to just paint it and get a spare actuator to have chromed.
Whist the bracket was drying I changed the spring to suit my engine.

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
Great work Terry, looks ace. What rating are the different coloured actuator springs? I have a Forge item waiting to make its way into my car's engine bay. It came with a few different springs (fitted with the yellow one iirc), but with no accompaying documentation!

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo

iirc yellow is lowest rating. I did email Forge who were really helpful. I shall post the ratings in a second.

Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
Cav's looking great Terry, agree - couldn't get away with the polished sliders I have to say.
Re: Cavalier SRi Turbo
I'm not keen on them either. I'll give them a couple of days to impress me lol.
