CU Zcar Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I found a great (IMO) deal on some RX7 parts, notably the IC, BOV and piping. They guy says he's going to a salvage yard or something and can get me anything else off one I want, can anyone think of anything else that's useful for someone trying to intercool an L28ET in an early Z? I also asked for some silicone/rubber couplers to put it all together... FYI I'm choosing this intercooler for a couple reasons: it's really cheap supposedly, it flows pretty well (small pressure drop) I understand it's pretty small, perhaps it won't introduce too much lag I figure if it is enough for a 250hp RX7, it'll do for my sub-250hp L28 until I have the $ to buy other stuff to overwork it. If I have $ for that stuff, I have $ then for a bigger IC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CU Zcar Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 Oh yeah and another question...I can get about the same deal on a FC3S intercooler and BOV from a different seller. (i.e. first post was about parts from a 3rd-gen RX7, this post is about 2nd-gen RX7) Any of you have opinions on which is better? I'm under the impression they're about the same, the 2nd gen's IC has a little larger area while the 3rd gen's IC has less frontal area, but a thicker core. Also under the impression that they flow about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 The oil cooler on the 2nd gen is very large. The 3rd gen may be as well, but haven't seen one. Anyways, if you have the time/money to hook one up it would probably be a good investment. I think the fittings are very commen ones.

Guest zwhore Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 the BOV is about the diameter of your pinky finger. dont waste your money.the intercooler is to small , i would use a eclipse unit, at least there all aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
