Intercoolers for 1G ra28's?

Or maybe not... and the power required to drive a supercharger, combined with the increased fuel energy required to drive it far outweigh the minimal gains it has in terms of not having lag. Turbo system is far better in almost every way.

turbos kick arse on dynos but who is dominating the drags???

If you're making a reference to top fuellers (which are totally relevant to street cars), turbochargers aren't even allowed.

you might want to have a look at ivan testics torana aka MRMAD b4 makin silly statements like that.
btw the new engine coming from the states is supposed to make another 6-800hp

2.5" ?! cool!

must be the silicone thickness that makes the too big in 2.5" ... im guessing pipes are only 1-2mm thick as apposed to siliconne which are 3-6mm think in some cases.

rods are 2.5" from start to finish.
take some pics of that.
ive run 3" on a 22

People who cant turn corners??

Who is dominating WRC?? I dont think theres a single supercharger there... and I cant for the life of me think why they wouldnt allow them (somebody please correct me if I am wrong there)... Just dont put a sneaky restricter bypass in your turbo eh!!

gonna have to agree with Owen here... Turbo's are better then superchargers... and i'm gonna go out on a limb and say, even in the drags these days... more and more cars are lining up a the christmas tree with huge whopping turbos to swallow the 1/4 mile... superchargers still reign supreme in top super duper fast modified though, but the Turbo is definatly more common then supercharger when you consider all ranks...

now... where'd that topic go???

Getting back onto the ATA versus WTA discussion we were having a few posts ago in this thread, I uncovered some information on the ST165 and ST185RC (note the RC) WTA intercooler set-ups:


Intercooler Capacity
ST165 1215cc
ST185 3285cc

Intercooler Radiator
ST165 663cc
ST185 1466cc

Intercooler Water Pump
ST165 10 litres/min
ST185 30 lites/min

yes i know him,

but wait till a certain xy comes out to the drags,

Theres an ST185 WTA setup on e-ghey at the moment... doesnt look very complex to me. A couple of small diameter hoses (easy to fit into places), a 310mm by 310mm heat exchanger, a 390mm by 190mm IC, and a water pump. Maybe need a relay too. Sounds easier than trying to squeeze a 2.5" pipe through the radiator support panel to me.

No it doesn't. I can loan you my 2.5" hole saw.

[TA-022]

on that where would you get hole saw bits for metal? need to do a firewall cableing hole?

[DQIKST]

bunnings/ plumbers supplies

timber ones should work, used them a couple of times at work but not the best of hole saws, lucky it wasnt too be seen

step drill easier, have here.

[ra23celica]

What sort of set-up can you employ to run air con as well as a FMIC in an RA23/28? Is it still possible without cutting up the front end?

Rephrase... add to the end of my post - WITHOUT DAMAGING THE FRONT END
