What is this intercooler from?

[generallee]

I have this here intercooler, it's from our '91 Merc camper. It was turbo'd by a company called TB Turbo in Lancaster, who have ceased trading. They did loads of motorhomes back in the day apparently.

The only identifying marks I can find are 1990 date stamps and a little tag with 005 on it. Anyone recognise it? Know where I can get one? The end tanks are plastic, can it be re-cored?

I am presuming they would use off-the-shelf components where possible and it's not a bespoke job?
















Many thanks in advance....

I'm thinking Shogun/Pajero turbodiesel.

A more modern replacement I picked up a Kia Rio 1.5 CRDi one similar size and shape recently, perfect for under the bonnet of a MK2 Golf and easy and cheap to come by.

I'm gonna say it's off an escort rs turbo.

Think thats bang on escort rs

That looks alot like an Escort RS Turbo intercooler.

By jingo I think you have only gone and bloomin' cracked it. Closest I have found was a Transit or MR2. Excelllent work, me and Mrs Generallee are "intercooler blind" from hours of googling. I was trying to think of Manufacturers who offered turbos in the early nineties and forgot about Ford.

Standard Series 2 RS it is. Bloody well done.

Yep. Put one of these on my old metro. From the days before turbo diesels were common and everything had an intercooler.

Fiesta turbo or escort turbo I had one years ago on my mini but can't remember which it was From

Cheers again chaps. I went to the main stealer, Ford computer is showing one in Luxemburg. It wasn't cheap. Got a secondhand 'un off eBay. Seems OK, much better than the old one. It arrived in an amusing box.

So, thanks again. Much faffing around averted by the power of RR.
