1g-gte Stock Intercooler flow sufficient?

[Z2TT]

Hi,

I'm considering getting a large front mount, but for a 1g with 2 Small CT12 turbo's, I'm trying to find out if it's really worth it. I wont be running anymore than 13 PSI and wont be upgrading to a big single.

On the flow bench, the stock intercooler flows 210 CFM.

What do guys recommend, is there any noticeable benefits to be had if I upgrade to a big front mount, or just keep the stock one.

Thankyou.

It's not about flow. I bet a piece of pipe will flow better than that cooler, but won't cool the air down.

Logically, if the new front mount has more surface area than the current cooler, there should be some benefit.

Hi Gavatron,

Yeah cooling is important too, I just would like to know if there is any noticeable benefit in spending $300 - $400 for a larger front mount, considering I'll only be running 13 PSI on stock turbo's because that's all they are good for.

Maybe some people who have boosted their 1g-gte's and then upgraded to a large front mount may know.

Thanks.

anything that can cool the intake charge better is worth it.

you dont need to spend that much either,

Thanks vash but that's what the bid is at the moment so its going to rise, I couldn't find any "Buy it now" Options from Just Japs ebay shop, then ofcourse there is things like the silicone joiners, piping etc.

[VasH]

keep a close eye on there cooler pro stuff thats listed though ive seen alot of it go for around 150-200 some of it doesnt even get bid on. Also check mr1jz members ride thread coz the cooler he has looks like a nice fit too.

[Kedderz]

fuck man, if your that much of a tight arse, check out just japs nissan silvia forum section, the prices there are normally lower than their ebay prices.

standard supra coolers are decent standard coolers, but once you raise the boost they show their standardness

upgrade.

fk man how many dudes do you need to tell you to go ahead and do it? this is spread across 2 threads now

fkn hell, ring just crap, credit card, $150 delivered TOPS. fk it even if you go get some cheap mild steel bends and fab the piping yourself, or tack it and take it to a pipe wholesaler, ie the place the exhaust shop gets their bends from

im gunna be runnin about 18psi through my 1g from a gt3076r heres my cooler, its cost me $129 delivered to adelaide, the kkr silicon bends cost $40 each tops. the mild steel bends i got from whole saler for two fifths of fuck all

[Z2TT]

Now that's a decent price, what are the dimensions of the core in that pic, whats the ID of the inlets?

Might just get the same one you have.

[SillyCarS]

the end tanks i have are 3" but i have to use silicon reducers PLEASE DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID! GET 2.5" END TANKS!!!

yeah a 6 pack of vb and a bottle of red later i hope this makes sense

ps check out abc did you know the arctic fox furr turns white in winter and brown in summer! wtf?! lmao

[Z2TT]

What?....... fox fur?

Anyway should I go for tube and fin or bar and plate, flow or cooling?

[SillyCarS]

fuk i dunno, when i oredered mine i said 'send me a cooler with 3 inch ends' tht was it

-edit: i reckon it was 450x300x76 but why the fk would you get the same as me my cooler is in a classic celica for fuck sake

get out your tape measure and a white out pen and mark what u need. then wqhen you reckon your good measure it again and then order it

[Gavatron]

Anyway should I go for tube and fin or bar and plate, flow or cooling?

Are you serious? You want a cooler, delivered, for $129 dollars. And you think they are gonna ask you "Now sir, would ye prefer tube and fin, or bar and plate?"

Just buy one and stop making shit threads.
