I just bought an intercooler from a junkyard, seems ok, presure tested.. sizes are 18x6.5x2 (should be ok for 250bhp?)

Anyway, i was hoping to clean it, the inside of it that is. Is it safe to do so, and if so, what will i use to clean it? can i run water through it?

 

Get some castrol super clean and dilute it 50/50 with water. Spray it and wipe it. I would recommend somthing like an air hose or shop vac to get access water outof it.

 

yeah, thanks. Wanted to make sure before i went ahead and done it. Just that it's been lting around a junkyard for awhile so i want to make sure there's nothing hibernating in it lol ..

Cheers.

 

Castrol Superclean is a bit too strong for my taste. I usually use a generous amount of Simple Green and it works wonders

 

your best bet is to take it to a place that cleans Radiators. they should be able to help you and it should be cleaned with the proper chemicals.
