Starlet Intercooler?

B.Martin · September 06, 2011, 09:49:30 AM

I\'ve seen loads of people fiting RX-7 intercoolers to Starlets, but does it work the other way round? I\'ve found this but it looks like its almost backward, do you think it could be made to fit and be better than stock TMIC? I\'ve been reading its possible to fit a fan underneath an AM top mount?

i think the fc ic is a bit of an upgrade for starlets

Stock yeah, but what about aftermarket? This one is an ARC copy supposed to be good for 40psi of boost?

Dude if you want an ARC top mount PM Soldave on here. I\'m sure he\'ll be able to help you out. He got mine for a bargin price. If not wait for M1tch to upgrade his and buy the one he is running.

I\'ve pm\'d him, so I\'ll wait to hear bak from him. I\'ve asked Liam about a RE-A one as well that he mentioned to me a while back

Thanks mate

Mitch already gave me first dibs, sorry!

The amount of hassle it\'ll be to get a starlet one to fit, you might as well buy a custom thick core, and get someone to fab end tanks on. TBF, it shouldn\'t be that hard.

I meant pm that other guy soldave, its okay you can have Mitch\'s IC but I\'ve got dibs on that rather cool RE-A airfilter he has! Does no one think that Starlet one would be any good then?

Looks a bit small, the OEM intercooler is actually a very good intercooler and its fine until about 0.9 bar ie where the OEM turbo runs out of puff.

Fair enough, worth the enquiry!
