Intercooler Idea Options

[celica47]

i really dont know if it would even do any good, but for a ST or GT turbo setup would it be possible to use the st205 intercooler or RC intercooloer.... just curious about the idea. If it is possible its a good way to be a sleeper that way people dont know you got a turbo


thanks for any info

no. it wouldnt fit right.


just get a normal fmic and paint it black.

[celica47]

it wouldnt fit right on top of the engine?

the STs and GTs are a side feed intake manifold where the st205 have a front feed intake. For the 205 cooler to work you would need to either use a 205 intake mani or use additional piping to connect the cooler to the side of the intake.

just put in a side mount if you want a sleeper but dont put to much boost in it 8 psi max.

yeah i was just wandering if its possible not really going to try it or anything. SUcks though because it would look good under the hood, since it has celica on it.

crappy part is... your looking to spend about 600-800 when all is said and done for that setup just on a 3sgte. on a 5s, it really wouldnt work right. so your better off with a dsm side mount ic or a painted fmic.... a remember even with a fmic showing, no one expects a celica to be fast, so it will always be a sleeper in a way

[celica47]

thats tru lol

you'd also need a gt4 hood to accomodate for the extra space by the tmic.

jeff had his with a stock hood.

[Batman722]

a 3rd gen 3s with the TMIC fits (barely) with the stock (non st205) hood


jeff had a RC TMIC, it is a bit smaller than the 205

[Mynzeyes]

yes, but that is on a 3sgte, which i believe sets a little lower. it would come more working on the 5sfte than a 7afte. i know there'd be no room for a 7afte to have a TMIC, but i don't know how the 5s sits in there.

but all the other options are your best bet. FMIC painted black. looks just like a radiator or condenser.

so is there really no way to set it up like that 2006 STI in the latest modified magazine where the Intercooler is set on the top being angled in a almost 45 degree tilt? i thought that was an impressive display....for those who know what im talking about...inputs...for those who don't...ill try to post a pic...srry don't mean to steal this thread...

[vsideboy]

The whole point of the IC is to get a ton of cold air going through it to cool the intake air... Moving it to anywhere other than the front is making it less efficient surely?
I would much rather see a nice intercooler at the front than hidden in the engine bay!

[Batman722]

the RC and 205 are water to air ICs. they are actaully more efficent than FMICs. They are rated up to about 400hp I believe.

[vsideboy]

yes mate. But someone mentioned the scooby one at 45 degrees, well I doubt thats a water one so I was more talking about that.

sorry if I didn't word it very well.
