|
|
What intercoolers have people fitted to the front of a TX (tc and td) ???
Got a gap of about 480mm wide x 300mm high to squeeze a cooler.
Been looking at GTIR coolers, but think it may be a little too tall with the piping.
What size are EVO and VR4 coolers?? |

Get one made using the intercooler core of a truck. Works a treat |

Just get 2 series 4/5 RX7 intercoolers welded together probably end costing about $150 and they work brilliantly if welded well, they are made to flow well and they do. A few of my mates use this setup and I'm thinking about running it on my skyrine. |

I know someone that can make me an intercooler using a truck core for roughly $150. Cost of the core is the main cost they are about $120 or so, then the tanks cost like $10 to make. Then you get set back a few hundred for piping from the cooler. Heaps less than one from another car and works just as well. |

ARE made a custom one for my gem - 440 wide 400 tall 73 thick it was a dual pass cooler with outlet and inlet on the same side I think he still has pics on his website. Sadly now the cooler is doing duty in an RB20DET powered VH comonwhore |

yeah, but after reading the article on the ARE site, chopped down truck intercoolers sound a bit dodgy - they would be cheap though. |
