Toni Lindroos Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 You have a nice looking 505. :-) I noticed that you have cut a hole to the bonnet for the intercooler. You should install some kind of a hood scoop to get some cool air flowing through the intercooler. The intercooler doesn't help that much if the air flow through it isn't strong enough to keep it cool. As you probably know the original factory setup gets cool air from holes in the front grill and bonnet and the ducting directs it to the IC. There should also be a piece of plastic on top of the radiator to keep the hot air out of the IC intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Toni..........platic on rad is missing............plastic under hood is there............grill has the necessary holes............the scope I installed was mainly for venting the hot air from the engine compartment. I need to replace the scope for another slicker design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yq397r Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Looks pretty good. I like the older wheels. It needs a wash though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 nice broke! is the engine an actual N9TE engine? or is it the low compression N9T with N9TE/A intercooler piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yq397r..........Yes it does need a wash.............car is stored for the winter...........spring cleaning is right around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 nice broke! is the engine an actual N9TE engine? or is it the low compression N9T with N9TE/A intercooler piping? The car came originally with a n9t.........replaced with a n9te engine. To my knowledge an: n9t has 7 to 1 compression no intercooler oil cooled turbo. n9te has 7.5 to 1 compression intercooler oil and water cooled turbo n9tea has 7.5 to 1 compression intercooler oil and water cooled turbo electroniclly controlled wastegate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 yup, you got it. (there were some other changes over all between the engines, but yeah...) EU N9T*** engines were 8.0:1 i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EU N9T*** engines were 8.0:1 i believe. Well..... according to my US manual........it specifies 7 : 1. On the piston, it is indicated, I would have to verify with my old n9t engine. yup, you got it.
