Intercoolers (small One For A Cef)

[dangerous_daveo]

Im looking at upgrading shortly to one of these fancy pants slide turbos (just rb20 hiflowed) Thus so I would be thinking the standard cefiro sidemount intercooler would be reaching its limits, especially with 14-16 or so psi running though it.

Now where the problem lies is, I dont want to stuff about with moving or removing the a/c, as this could be somewhat costly (that and I like my a/c). And the other, I dont want to cut my front bar up. I think it looks stupid, and Im trying to keep the car as stock looking as posible.

The thoughts I have had so far are one of those big sidemounts, and maybe some form of electronic waterspray on it. Or a small fm, small like 250x400x70 or something, once again with a waterspray if needed. Where Im unsure is something that small going to be effective? Id like to try and stay away from the waterspray, purely to keep the costs down.

The car is mostly used for driving to work on the gateway motorway (ie 5kmh for 20kms) so its not really booted on the street. Im just thinking for track days, that sort of stuff so its likely to have constant airflow when the turbo is being worked hard. And Im not really in to drift or drag.

So experts, help away please.

(ps I do know how to use the search funtion, so if this has been covered before, feel free to find the topic for me)

Im sure there is a size there that will work for you

Maybe I should have been more specific...

Is a small intercooler going to be worth the cost. As in is something 'x' bigger which is going to require the front bar to be cut to fit it going to be that much better that I would be stupid to be spending my money on something smaller, to only find its not working and have to change it to a larger item.

Then if the small cooler isnt going to work, is a water spray going to fix that problem, or is too small just simply too small, no amount of spray will fix it.

I know too_much_boost squeezed a 450x300x75 in behind the stock bar but it took a lot of hacking.

If you dont want to hack consider an arc or HKS side mount. There was a r32 HKS one for sale on here not long ago, it may still be around.

I know what ya mean, for the stag I had a specific space to utilise.

see http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_suction_d...5&pageNum=1

the one for the silvia might suit? (19.7"L X 9.33"H X 2.7"W)

looks like this

Water injection would be good for your application as you don't have cut out anything and it’s a DIY job for anyone. I have a slide hi-flow and I'm running the stock intercooler, providing you have good tune the knock level should be minimal. Upgraded intercoolers aren’t really necessary at the 200kW level, good for the wank factor though.

An R34 GT-t cooler would be perfect.
