would the oem intercooler couplers work on a rx7 intercooler? I just got one.

if not what would i need?

thanks

mine came with a rx7 intercooler when i bought it - this is how it looks. i "think" it just fits on, but cannot be sure as i havent really checked

fits on the back bit ok, but a the front factory section is not secured

The Back one fits fine but as can be seen in the pic above, you need a different elbow at the front.

Yup they will work fine; you may need to cut the hot side piping a bit shorter though as its narrow towards the end and thicker closer to the core.

Couple pics of mine:

This was mine :)

BTW, studied thermodynamics, black core is more efficient! ;)

The pipe on there, was driven from the rear wash wipe, simply feeding this, instead of the wiper.

The pipe just had several pin holes in it, down one side, so it lightely sprayed the cooler.

Remember, if you do attempt this, you're not aiming to cool it by drenching it, you're cooling it via windchill, so it gets colder when the water evaporates. Much more effective.

Sooo, the less water the better :)

Have fun!
