HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY hope your day was not to bad and got the chance to have a few brewski's :rant:

Cheers,

Leigh

I dude at work got a Toyota GT4 and it got a water to air intercooler do any other cars have this seems a bit stupid

Older Liberty's have em, many AM companies sell em. Popular in rota drag circles, and with horsepower dyno queens.

Why you say stupid? They have their place for sure. Can keep intake tracks a lot shorter; improve throttle response etc, then mount the radiators for it where ever you want.

The setup has a buffer too, so you don't get the same level of heat soak, that air->air IC has in stand still traffic.

Happy BirthDay Shell :rant:

Also, memo to leigh, quotes are supposed to go before posts.

i always do it that way in PM's, but not on the forum... dunno why :rant:

thanks leigh & michael :)

I had a fantastic day, much better than last years birthday which sucked.

and yes leigh I've managed a couple of bevvies :)

I was just think that a contain of water sitting on top of the engine is i dont know like a rice cooker , what about when it is full cold do air to air work better

Hey Rick444 I'm with you re gettin out of that workshop .... but I am interested, does the intercooler on a stock 33 make a big difference? I'm not racing, drifting, draging etc - but am interested, is it a worthwhile thing to do?

It doesn't really make a huge difference, but my car feels better after putting it on, more responsive..it's hard to explain...

I would say it's definitely worth it, especially if you're planning to do more mods. :thumbsup:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHELL!!

BTW, it would be nice if crime took a day off. Imagine if you could leave your car unlocked and go shopping and come back to an untainted car: nothing stolen and no scratches/damage.

Ha Ha as if that could ever happen.

Put the crack pipe down :P

Magine a box welded around a normal air->air IC, and then water pumped through that box, through and around the fins, and then to a radiator(s) [ Separate to the engine radiator clearly]

Your just replacing the air that was moving through the air->air cooler fins, absorbing heat, with water... which then releases its heat to the air, when it gets to the little radiators

haha there was no intension of that leigh, which is lucky cause shes pretty much a grandma :domokun:

pretty weird, only 3 movies ive been keen to see recently (300, spiderman 3 and 28 weeks later) are all ones youve posted about skylvia. Do they tell you anything about the main characters from the first one in the new one (james and selena?)

Edited by Baconer

havent seen spiderman 3... i heard its a tad dissapointing...

Nah nothing about the original 2, but it starts at the 28 days later timeline, then shows how it progressed through to 28 weeks later. much better than the 1st IMO. the 1st one was still good tho

    • This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.
    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...
