Got my rx7 top mount intercooler today. All blinged up. Will do wonders for keeping intake temps down me thinks.

NOICE
any pics whats the advantages of the rx7 over the standard toyota Top Mount IC

Toyota - 180 * 190 * 60

RX7 - 170 * 270 * 60

My understanding is the rx7 has a much more efficeint core.

Pics, hmm. Must get me a digi cam. I've 'borrowed' this pic.

P.s. How are you going Marc? Have you made any progress? If you need a hand with anything just give me a buzz.

JC

i want subbys done if possible including breaks suspension etc by the end of my holidays and yeah i will no doubt be needing a hand some time in the future so thanks heaps for the offer and the same goes for you i can give you a hand if needed anytime just have to tell me what needs doing and what to do
but yeah i would love to get this car moving under its own steem by end of next year and yeah majority of stuff done to it

i really cant wait

HEY this is something im sure you guys who drive minis and have chosen the conversion way have come across whenever a bloody old crappy commodore or even bloody little barina accelerates past you off the lights you think i really have to get my conversion done

OK, dragging one up from the dead here but here are the comparison pics of the Rx7 and GT top mount coolers.

RX7 is the one on the bottom






The bulk on the bottom of the RX7 cooler makes it appear thicker. This 'shield' onb the underside of it can easily be removed to minimise space issues. Essentially RX7 core is the same size as the whole GT item (inclusive of tanks).

Interesting to see the sheild on the bottom of the RX one! How would the air get throgh the intercooler to effectively cool the core?? Is there enough space for the air to pass through the underside?

I think they are working on the principal that the air is being 'forced' through the cooler by the RX7 bonnett scoop. The heat shield might be a good idea but it has to go to be able to fit on top in the morris
