Thumper Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Look at my signature......Would this work good for me? Is it ALOT better than the piece of crap I have now? I have run both the volvo intercooler and the starion intercooler. The volvo intercooler had detonation at 15psi but the starion intercooler I ran 21psi with detonation very rarely. Both of these psi were with stock efi running 25 degrees timing on an 83 ecu, and running the stock t3. Now i'm running the npr and the intercooler is by far better than the npr. So take what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 You mean the npr is better than the starion right? Today (April 1st) is my birthday so i'm trying to get something i really want....a big a$$ intercooler. either a bar and plate about 24x12x4 or a large npr Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 You mean the npr is better than the starion right? Today (April 1st) is my birthday so i'm trying to get something i really want....a big a$$ intercooler. either a bar and plate about 24x12x4 or a large npr Thanks guys IMO the Conquest/Starion one is way too small. I had one on my 71 Z and went with a Supra one, MKIII that is still on there. I run the 24x12x4 on my 73'. You will have to cut the core support(a little) and run button head bolts for the hood or cut the in/outs off the tanks and weld new ones on. I cut the core support. There is this style too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURBO-SUPERCHARGER-INTERCOOLER_W0QQitemZ8051412923QQcategoryZ33742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-phil Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 OK thanks I just got the word that I can spend some of MY money on MYSELF for my birthday... oh if I were single! anyway I'm going to this place in Dallas that has wrecked big trucks. they had a small npr IC a couple months ago, so they might have a big one now. If not, I'll get one off e-bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 PM 73turbo240Z and ask him what size he got off ebay.. looks like that one. fits great with no work needed to the intercooler and or core support. with the Large NPR i had the hack the crap out of my core support. im going with a custom BIG sucker, 5in think for the new turbo engine. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 24" wide will be a TIGHT squeeze, In fact i dont think you can make it work without modification of the intercooler outlets like i did. I tried tight radius couples etc, still hit the hood hinges. I would suggest finding a 22" or 20" one of you can, but it seems most places are selling 24" units.

big-phil Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks 240hoke, I just got back from the birthday dinner and almost bought that IC before I left the house, I'm glad I did'nt. BTW nice stoppie on the F4, I stunt a 929 myself. Sorry to hear you sold it, but that Z is much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
