on my turbo II i just bought the stock intercooler doesn't have the piece that say like "turbo rotary with intercooler" will this effect the cooling capabilities?
and could a stock s4 turbo take a b16 des slow?
Thanks Tony

 

i mean del sol

 

im pretty sure its not relaly going to effect cooling effieciency whatsoever, there may be a slight change in Intake temp but not enough to notice.

 

thanks
any other thoughts on the intercooler or the coming race!

 

teh del sol can neber lose!

 

that del sol wont even know what hit it man, you'll be so far ahead its not even funny. And i am totally serious! I've raced tons of them and they are slow as hell.

 

yeah thats what i like to hear. this little punk thinks his del dol can't lose plus theres this ***** bag at my school who thinks his crx with 18 inch rollers and bone stock everything can take the turbo! i say nay! do you think a 88 gtu could take the crx?

 

Dude you cant be serious ?

 

If it is still top mount! Yes it is going to seriously affect cooling, If it is front mount the lack of this will improve it's cooling! If you still have this in the stock top mount location the hood scoop will not seal to the intercooler forcing the air through it, if it isn't there the air will simply just go arround the intercooler and very little air will make it through the intercooler to cool the charge air temp! A stock TII would easily take a Del Sol!

 

Dude Are you serious you jack@$$ i don't want to buy a new engine becaues my intercooler couldn't keep the temps down.
thanks jreynish can i install a new one(used i guess!)

 

If you have any doubts that a Turbo II can smoke that piece of **** Civic you shouldnt drive TurboII.

if you are refering to the aluminium part that has the turbo intercooled... or whatever... yes you can just install one back onto the intercooler. you could also just buy one they are usually on ebay... or on the for sale section... it will bolt right back into the stock location... you should also make sure that you have the little rubber surround wherer the hood scoop is supposed to mate with the intercooler otherwise once again won't work as well but will work better than without the aluminium part arround the intercooler.

 

hey some civics can be quite fast and a del sol weighs in at close to or under 2K with 168 horsepower can be quite a quick car. plus i just got the turbo and am used to my slower N/A and haven't been able to race because there 6 inches of snow on the ground
but hey thanks for the advice any way guys

 

are you kidding me?!?! The del sol may not look like it weighs a lot but it does! It's curb weight taken off of edmunds.com is 2522 lb. Because of the targa top, Honda gave it some extra reinforcement in the front.

 

oh wow i didn't realize that. thanks for nicely pointing it out and not flaming my ***!
