aarang Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I recently acquired a used Cartech intercooler kit for my 280ZX turbo. Does anyone have any info on this kit? The intercooler itself looks to be a Spearco unit, but there are no markings on it. I contacted Cartech directly, but they don't have any info on the kit other than there were'nt many made. Any info appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Need pictures or core dimensions in order to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarang Posted November 23, 2002 Author Share Posted November 23, 2002 The core of the intercooler is 12"H x 10"W x 2.5" deep.The kit has all of the tubing, clamps,air filter, etc, although I will be getting new couplings. It looks to me like I have to cut a hole by the hole the airfilter coupling goes through to the front. The intercooler bolts directly in to existing bolt holes, so I don't need to drill any new ones. I was hoping to put about 17PSI through this and hoping to get roughly 300HP. That is my goal. I just don't know if this intercooler is big enough.

Scottie-GNZ Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 A pic would be nice to see which way the tubes run. Surpprised no one at Cartech could tell you the flow based on the core not the kit. To make 300hp, it needs to flow at least 450cfm and that is on the small end of their scale. I would say it should be more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest De Schmaydee Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 ...kinda sounds like an hks....i just talked to 'em (cartech) yesterday..for piping...and they said they didnt have any jigs for 'em anymore....but i'm not using one of their i.c.'s....it sounds like it's pretty small to get 300hp out of.....dunno...the one i got is almost twice that size.....it was to be for a 300-350hp setup using a T3/T04b.....i think a lot of people get them way too big for their stock t3's....its prbly perfect for the stock t3....but getting 300(good dependable)hp outta the stock t3....i dunno....if scottie says it'll do it i'm sure it will.....prbly be pretty hard on it i'd think...will 17psi get 300hp (at the wheels)?...s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I got a HKS and it's 10x17x2 1/2 I think. And HKS will support 300RWHP with hybrid turbo. Well, I went to measure it and it was 10x15x2 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
