Chris Wilson Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 1st come, first served, probably no more for some time due to other commitments. My all alloy stock mount intercooler, see info below. The last batch sold straight away, so first with paymenst buy them. (Four have come, one is pre sold). Is your intercooler falling apart, the fins corroded off the tubes? If so, its efficiency will be extremely degraded. Running more boost than stock? Is this a good idea? NO! It's not even a good idea running STOCK boost with an I/C like that, and when the weather struggles above freezing it will be a VERY BAD idea! Don't want to spend over 1400 quid on a new quality front mount intercooler, only to have half of it masked by the aperture in the front stock bumper being too small to allow air through all the core? Even with a new aftermarket bumper that probably fits where it touches, (from what I have seen of most Jap products), the air will just take the easy route AROUND the expensive FMIC, rather than through it, because no ducting provision is made. The answer is my uprated, all aluminium stock mount intercooler. It uses all original mountings, and the original factory sealed ducting. It uses a state of the art core with fine pitched finning, on modern tubes with internal turbulators. The core uses 10% more tubes than the stock unit, too. The quality of its construction is superb, and all are fully leak tested under pressure before despatch. Pressure drop, both internally through the core, and aerodynamically, are less than the stock cores, making for a very efficient unit. Detailed pics of the intercooler can be e-mailed to serious parties. The MKIV Supras forum have plenty of people who have bought these to get idependent opnions from. They will sell for 620 pounds, there is no VAT to pay. Postage and packing to UK mainland addresses is 12.50, the package is bulky due to their fragile nature.

Marty Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi Chris, What sort of power are these intercoolers good for? Am thinking of going single in the near distant future so will need a new intercooler of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 It's not really a fair assessment of an I/C to rate it in "power". One would assume a new single will be running in its efficiency band, not over speeding like stock ones at 1.2 bar, and I would assume you will be running about 1.2 to 1.5 bar boost max, aiming for about 500 BHP? If so these I/C's will handle it with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
