Guest Tom Scala Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Is the first gen Eagle Talon intercooler usuable on a mild l28 turbo motor(10psi-220HP)? Is it a waste of time trying to use this unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 It's pretty small, not sure about efficiency. The core is like 8x8" or so (I could measure the one on my 92 Eclipse if you like) and a few inches thick. All I know is that it heat soaks pretty quickly on even the 2 liter engine with low (11 psi) boost on that motor's turbo. I believe this turbo is sized pretty well and still running in it's efficient range at those levels. I'd look elsewhere, but I'm not too knowledgeable on this stuff - I know the Talon/Eclipse guys go for the front mount Spearco setup as soon as they start turning up the boost much or adding bigger turbos, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 28, 2000 Share Posted November 28, 2000 Too small and inefficient. It's not worth the time, effort, or money to put one on a turbo l28. Use a twin turbo supra unit, they're cheap and readily available for under $200. Even a gimpy conquest intercooler would be light years ahead of an eclipse unit! ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
