rider Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Would anyone know max dimensions (LxHxW) of an intercooler core that can fit ? Depends if you are talking side or front install. If side I'd ask Garage Whifbitz as I fitted one of their units that is much larger than the stock intercooler and that's pretty much as big as you can go for a side mounted one.

2JZMKIV Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sorry for not mentioning i was talking about front mount intercooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The size and design of the end tanks are just as important as the core size. Also don't forget that you are restricting airflow to the radiator, and it may also be less responsive. It should be matched to your power goals, an uprated SMIC is good for BPU and small single setups, and is correctly ducted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 There's no point in a core that's bigger than the exit area of the duct. It will be ducted, right....? I see huge cores on MKIV's with only a third of the core receiving any air flow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see huge cores on MKIV's with only a third of the core receiving any air flow! yes thats why i asked the question in the first place if i can put a intercooler wider but shorter in height over 1/3 its area will be covered which makes it efficient but the question is how wide mm is allowed on a supra 600mm max ?

rider Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 an uprated SMIC is good for BPU and small single setups, and is correctly ducted. I felt an appreciable difference on my uprated Supra with the Whifbitz larger side intercooler. How much of that was down to cooling efficiency over the old one due solely to the fins on the old one having turned to powder is impossible to say. When the new intercooler was fitted I felt the car got most of its mojo back from what I could recall from when it was a new car so its probably a case of a fully functioning unit is more important than size. My wife hears that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
