http://fuse.wox.org:81/supra_ic/
you can get em cheapppppppppppppp.
its no front mount but if ya wanna be stealth. what do you think? will it work as well as say a fm spearco??? its thick as hell so that might a substitute for lenght..or is length in a fm better?

That actually looks like a great IC... long = high pressure drop; it's surface area that matters so if you can fit a wider, thicker IC you will get the same cooling with less pressure drop. However the traditional long FMIC has more access to cool air at the front of the car and I don't know where you'd be able to shove something like this...

Where do you typically find one of those things used?

DSM boards and or supra boards...Ive got one availible to me from a a guy near me whose on a DSM board.
i dunno if I should do it.itll keep things stealth for sure..(maybe not when racing.but when parked!!!)
i kinda want the fmic though damn.i might just buy it anyways.its soo cheap it wont mean much.
as on where to put it.it actually might fit in the passenger side fender well! i drive an Si.there MIGHT be room for it..

specs:
H=270mm * W=125mm * L=220mm
volume of 7,425cm3
The intake side has an area of 337.5cm2
**** *****...some big *** intercoolers
i wonder if they can cool better than the avg honda aftermarket turbo kit sized intercooler

With a good supply of cool air blowing over it, I would say it LOOKS like a more efficient intercooler than a lot of the standard "kit" ICs.

jwt has black heat dissapation coating for IC's... its pretty low key

edit: black anodization works also, but its $$$ either way.

hmmm..... the investigation continues.
howmuch power do you think it could support??
say...boosting a t3/to4e at around 18psi(rods and pistons in a b16/maybe b18)
could it handle it?

mybe only like 10-14

also thicker doesnt mean that it will cooler better. "maximum boost"
Its better to have more short rows than longer rows.

SiRkid

yes.and this has more short rows....you think only 10-14 psi..poo.i was hoping it could at least take 20 psi.(even though i wont be there for centuries )
edit: this just in..info from supraforums...guys tell me that the stock i/c can handle 500-550 bhp(or around 400-430 WHP) they say it can handle the BPU's power output!
thats good news i guess!!
but one guy said i should take my compression ratio and what type of fuel i will run into consideration when choosing an i/c. but i think this intercooler will do fine!

Cramerox

are u going to mount it in the wheelwell like on that link? thats sleeper.

SiRkid

i dunno if it will fit in there

shamoo

Those look like Audi IC's. Those are probably easier to find, thus cheaper. Maybe?

SiRkid

hmmm..they are pretty cheap...100-150.

I have a friend with a supra intercooler on his Talon....he says it works very well..it was a huge set up from the stock 2g dsm intercooler that comes stock.

the size difference is HUGE
