WJM Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 ebay is cool. $90 shipped. Comes with the core...no lines or anything else. I might go with a different core...but the intercooler its self is that main part that I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Sweet, i didn't know toyota made a water/air intercooler. What engine is that off? It looks more compact than the subaru water/air intercooler, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 i would have prefered the SUBARU unit. These came on the Celica ST165's...aka All-Trac that we got here in the states and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailgatewagon Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 how much better is the w2A intercooler yhen the air to air units, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 at low speeds...aka autox...air/water is the unit of choice. At track or higher speeds, aka average speed of over 90 MPH...large air to air and LARGE turbos are the choice. At med speeds...its really all about your setup...some are better than others...WRC cars still use air to air units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxalplyx Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Will, Please post up pics of your setup when you are done. The main challenge I read about this type of setup (where you have the intercooler inlet facing the firewall) is the turbo to intercooler piping. Yes, of course you can pipe to it. It is just that people have told me that with that setup, the inlet is facing the wrong way. I was always told it would be much better to make it face the passenger side or the front of the car based on how our turbos sit. What's you take on this? I still have my air/water intercooler setup in the garage that I posted about a while back before installing my air/air unit. Here's my air/water on the right hand side.
