Intercooler install! (mazda millenia unit on rabbit)
« on: January 09, 2011, 10:56:47 am »
so, i got a tiny little intercooler off a mazda millenia yesterday. its the perfect size to fit on the passenger side of the radiator.. but it is a bit small, size wise, but better than nothing if you ask me..

core dimensions are 9" tall, 4" wide, and 2.5" thick..

overall dimensions are only a little more than that. with the charge piping hook ups and all that its about 15" tall..

86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

it doesnt fit.. well, easily atleast..

and im not notching my core support for a temporary intercooler..

i guess this one was just a waste of time and money..

i would cut the inlet and outlet off and make them straight, but its such thin metal, and i dont have a tig torch.
