Im building a 12a carbed turbo and i was wondering if anyone has used two smaller intercoolers behind two holes in the front bumper on each side instead of one blocking air to the radiator. I want to use this to help keep the car cooler especially with the crazy summer we just had.

 

Are you talking about the lower valance that the S3 cars had? Those are there for the brakes,
and it would be tough to get the intercooler piping in there, let alone an intercooler.

Much easier to just get an appropriately sized intercooler for the front. Don't get the biggest
you can fit.

 

Not really talking about the valance. I was going to make two holes in the lower section of the front air dam for the intercoolers.

 

Just use a normal front mount intercooler. The IC is just cooling compressed air; which is not as hot as coolant. Its not going to F- with the radiator. I wouldn't worry about it. Your A/C will effect the radiator more than the IC ever will.

 

Thanks I guess ill just use a regular front mount. What is the most documented hp on a carbed 12a?

 

730whp

 

Build a V-mount setup if your concerned about blocking the radiator. There's plenty of room to do that with a properly sized rad and IC.

 

Hows this?? i did remove my a/c and made a bracket to mount the aftercooler right there on the other ac brackets. my car never even gets up to temp even when its hot out. but im staying with my stock fan for my own preferences and reasons hope this helps

 

Yeah that helps alot thanks. but whats the y pipe after the intercooler used for my setup is carbed i thought i would just bring a tube to the carb.

 

i dont know what you mean... there is one pipe going to the carb bonnet
the carb bonnet is too small and pipe enters an the wrong angle dont copy this i have to redo it. moremazda informed me of some critical design features i overlooked or rather didnt know about

 

here are a couple more pics also check out my album if you'd like

 

Thanks for the pics. Im using a garrett t3 turbo what are you using? Is mine a good size for 7-10 psi?

 

i got a gt35r t4 from turblown.net
this is my turbo http://turblown.net/store/index.php?productID=47
yours shoud do 10 psi pretty well i would think whats your a/r on your turbine?
