z-REX Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 hey guys... the time has come to put in the intercooler that came with my car. it's a supra tt i/c, what i was wondering was has anyone on here ever used one? i'm wondering if it's better to run all the piping on the driver's side or loop it around the front of the engine? the biggest obstacle to coming across is the fan/shroud... i have an electric fan to install but the cooling system i have now is doing a great job keeping the car cool and i don't know if i want to mess with that. but then again... if the electric fan could result in a little more power from not forcing the engine to spin a fan... thoughts? suggestions?

lifegrddude Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Afshin has a tt i/c on his ZXT, I saw it during the MSA show since he was parked next to me. I'm sure he can give you pointers. John 82ZXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I took pictures of Afshin's TT IC set-up when I was at MSA. I could post it on here. I don't think he would mind the exposure!! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 As requested! The pic was the best shot I could get, the Z(X) hoods make it great to work on the car, but a pain if you want to take pictures at certain angles, this is the classic example. Anyway you can see on Afshin's set-up the inlet piping comes from the left side and returns between the radiator and head back to the TB. Sweet Set-up!

z-REX Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 for anyone who doesn't know yet, yasin's the man... afshin also pm'ed me and after hearing about his setup and looking at juan (jsk)'s car tonight, i think that's the way i'm setting mine up too. it just seems to me that air would flow so much better without the restriction from all the bends. and now that i'm starting to sell off my pile of parts, (yeah, the ones i keep forgetting to post here... ) i can actually do it. thanks for all the help!!!...bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
