building a bolt-on intercooler kit for TC trd supercharger
So I'm in the process of building a bolt on intercooler kit for the trd supercharger. After lots of research I found that a intercooler will be very beneficial to the s/c tc. I analyzed many setups and found one that will work well. Iam ordering all of my parts soon to piece the kit together. The intercooler will be front mount and use almost all of the open space in the lower grille location. Iam looking to make this kit very nice looking and very efficient with minimal modification to the car or supercharger. I have worked on a lot of project cars including 91' turbo mr2, 96' turbo ford ranger, and a 92' turbo 240sx sr20det. My latest project a couple months ago was installing a 05-06 s/c kit on a 07 and it was a complete success.https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...211&highlight=
Would anyone be interested in a intercooler kit?
So far the specs on the intercooler are going to be
Core Size: 22"X8"X3.5"
Overall Size: 29"x8"x3.5"
2.5" Inlet & Outlet One Side
3.5" Core

yes they do in both supercharged and turbo applications but you do get the dropped air temp that will make up for that boost pressure loss. The intecooler specs on the one I will be buying is .2-.5 psi boost drop when under 15lbs of boost.

You lose pressure but its not like the air disappears. It says he will be doing a vertical style set-up which cuts down on the piping alot. I had one installed on my blower (which it for sale Btw) that was very efficeint.

Yes, but that is just the drop in pressure across the intercooler itself, the rest of the pressure drop comes from all the extra piping that needs to be pressurized before the engine sees boost. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have read that Vortech s/c's don't like restriction and become less efficient with it. Good luck on the project though, i'm doing one myself, just with air to water.

DUNN is going to show us that the FMIC is not just a showpiece, and that with this application it will actually benefit people with the TRD s/c.

as far as the post goes. you do loose psi cause of the extra air that has to travel through the piping. so if i were you get yourself a 14 psi pulley from NST or get one smaller if they can make it. and throw some cams in there and surely you will be over 300 whp at redline.

I hope you can take some temp measurements when you get yours done, i'll take some with mine and we can compare.
