Mean intercooler piping pic and I got a filter

[Dr. evil]

i haven't heard hydrolock since radial engine class.

actually i was thinkin more of a cold air feed, it can be done you just need to bin the washer bottle and get a smaller one and mount it on the inner wing

That intercooler is probably great for his boost level.. you dont want a huge IC while doing under 10psi. large IC will only give greater pressure lost. Depending on the core design.. it may work even more effectively than a large intercooler.

BTW what ever happen to liquid cooled turbos. I dont see them much anymore. When I did my Turbo Conversion in my RX7 there is hose galore coming out of the turbo cartridge. Ballbearing turbos doesnt need liquid cooled cartridges?

i've got 2 liquid cooled turbos a t25 hybrid and a t3

LOL ok - that has nothing to do with intercooling.

Sorry didnt see him ask about water cooled turbos.

Typically ball bearings need water feed yes. OE turbos use coolant but for the most part journal bearings dont need them and are much easier to work. Coolant lines arent bad, we just use the ones that go to the throttle body circulation to feed and return, just a PITA.

This intercooler core is supportive up to 500 whp. Should do me When it stops being effective, I will starting methanol injection.

What the **** is my corolla doing in your sig Kriss??


Tho I';m happy to say that she is back on the road and (kinda) a bit less dented!! Still not right, as all the stuff is only straightened, not replaced.

I thought the first pic looked real mean! I also got my eBay air filter ($15 or something shipped and the foam is nice and thick!) and put that in today. Working good! I call it a gafilter fish.

Very nice work, I like how clean everything looks.

Are there any temp changes with the radiator having that IC blocking a portion of it?

[Jon K]

The coolant temps read 185 - 190 on average. I haven't ever been looking at the laptop or datalog to see anything higher.

[winfred]

it's not running enough boost for long enough for the intercooler to heat up the radiator, now some of the diesel guys running 80+# are getting turbo output temps in the 600s that's a little toasty
