landroversforever Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 might be because of the auto box cooler/larger intercooler fighting for space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Depends what a Stage 2 intercooler actually is and the reason for telling you you can't use it. You can't use a Stage 2 retro encabulator either but that probably isn't an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSIIA Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Could well be that the Stage 2 tune cranks out too much torque for the auto box (ZF 4HP22EH) to handle reliably. No doubt a solution could be found, such as a beefed up box using 4HP24 internals. Much depends on how much you want that level of tune and are prepared to pay for the ancillaries to work reliably.

JST Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 i expect its because the auto box oil cooler is a long d2 air to oil cooler running just in front of the rad at the top. As previously mentioned the larger stage 2 intercooler probably needs the same space. i cant see it being unable to cope with the extra omph.; if that is the case i doubt the people selling the stge 2 would not sell it on those grounds!

Grant. Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Speak to porny on this forum or email him through his company IRB developments, he had a intercooler custom made for my dads 110 td5 auto conversion, was fairly reasonably priced, and after a bit of porny magic my dads car flies!
