rx7 intercooler

[dac69er]

really? even after a real hard thrash?

 

[Ady]

real hard.

do you have anything to direct the air? you need something to stop the air, just at the top of the core. so the air doesnt go OVER it but THROUGH it.

i have an arc cooler mate. i have also put a bit of foam along the top edge just incase but that made no difference anyway!!!!?

 

[Ady]

oh right, thats a bit odd.

i have no experience with the arc so i wouldnt know what to suggest

 

[dac69er]

should easily be as good as the rxy cooler in my opinion. it definitely flows better than a stock one as you can feel the throttle response is a bit sharper with it fitted.

if it flows too well it wont alloy the intake charge to be cooled so well, maybe that could be it? wouldnt have thought the arc cooler would have sucha design flaw though being so well designed and especially because of the cost of it

 

[Ady]

yeah i would expect the arc to perform waaaayy better than the rx7 one.

dont know, we have similar setups which is also weird.

maybe because my car is white and your car is black! lol

awesome info lads, i have the rx7 series 5 one havent got it fitted yet though.

no idea mate. going front mount soon so wont have the worry anyway. just gotta get all the bits together. would have thought my front mounted air intake would have cooled things a bit but it doesnt really. turbo glows red hot and the cooler is more of a heater after a quick thrash!

I plan on sticking something on the back of the cooler so when air comes through the bonnet scoop it can go nowhere else but down and through the cooler. Cannae wait!

 

[Ady]

im going front mount too, just ordered it from daveburwash!

 

[turboflow]

this is just something i have heard not sure if it is true but the intercoolers off one off the trucks like an l200 is supposed to fit and work well, any one else know i have never looked under the bonnet.

 

[dac69er]

im going to be custom making mine. will just buy the core and some pipes and itll be simple with a smaller rad!

 

[Deano]

Where abouts do you put the foam if you want air to get to the intercooler?

 

[dac69er]

along the back edge to stop the air passing straight over it

 

[Deano]

Thanks mate when I get it I will just have to find out how it will stick on there without falling off lol

 

[dac69er]

i just got some stickybacked foam from work!

L 200 Tmic With Fan

 

[dac69er]

saw one of those at a car boot the other day. should have bought it just for a laugh, used it as a cheapo front mount

 

[CaL]

chris air cant go anywhere anyway...its trapped to be forced into the cooler by the rubber on the bonnet

lol @ intercooler with a fan only time it heats up is when you drive, and its getting anirflow then anyway haha

and if yo need to "cool" it when not really moving (ragging it in 1st constantly/burnouts or whatever) then shame on you, not to mention that fan is waaaay to small lol

what did it come off?
