seams like a good deal. Any reason it wouldnt work well

91 TII
BNR stage 4 garret 60-1 compressor
13-15 lbs of boost on the street with 93
17-20 on the track with 20
afr of 11.5-12:1

It wont be visible so I dont car what it looks like.

what do you think.

 

Those Volvo intercoolers have been used in FC's before with good success (I assume good, since I've heard of dozens doing this, and no apparanty downsides to it).
It's definitely big enough to handle the amount of boost you want to run, and fits VERY nice into the front of the FC... looks factory when you get it in there. If you need pics of the install I have some.
The only thing that I wonder about this intercooler is how much of a pressure drop occurs.

Good price, does the job good, and installs nice, so why not?

 

THe only thing, I'm thinking is, if it mount either in front or behind the radiator, one of the those 2 are going to suffer cooling because they will block each others air coming through the front, I'd reccomend a starion, or enven 2 TII cores welded together....

 

Good point. I would mount it in front, and upgrade to an aftermarket radiator such as Fluindyne or Koyo.

 

Come on Bridgeported you MUST be tired!

 

Why's that?
Here are the install pictures I was refering to. (not my car, I'm not sure which forum member's this is)

Must be in front of radiator, or you will have an interheater.

here are some numbers i had on differnt *junkyard* IC's. not exactly sure who did the tests, or if they were just mathamaticaly figured out.?? i forget where i even got this from. i think it was a mustang board a few years back.

The NPR IC: at 329cfm and 290°F on the inlet side of the IC, the
pressure
drop is 0.09psi. The outlet temp is 130°F, heat rejected is 55553
BTU/hr, and
the calculated heat exchange area is 1404 square inches.

Starion IC : (the bigger one) at 324cfm and 292°F on the inlet side of
the
IC, the pressure drop is 0.29psi. The outlet temp is 139°F, heat
rejected is
52287 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1217 square
inches.

Saab 9000 IC: at 332cfm and 295°F on the inlet side of the IC, the
pressure
drop is 0.81psi. The outlet temp is 123°F, heat rejected is 60350
BTU/hr, and
the calculated heat exchange area is 1602 square inches.

Volvo IC: at 331cfm and 293°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure
drop
is 0.55psi. The outlet temp is 126°F, heat rejected is 58809 BTU/hr,
and the
calculated heat exchange area is 1539 square inches.

I wonder which NPR version that test were done by.

 

but what about the radiator? I geuss it wouldn't be too bad, since the factory mounts the a/c condensor there....but with an electric fan you better make that ***** stay on alot!

 

sorry for the missinfomation

this is a 91 TII motor in a FB

Also, I have a mazdatrix 3 core rad.

 

i don't know, but if someone had one, i'd like to know if they would be interested in possibly trading for the large one that i have. i'm not sure if the large one will fit in the FD and i want to be sure

 

I think you could MAKE it fit in the FD, especially if the FD has an aftermarket front end piece. There would no doubt be some cutting involved ot fit it in though.

 

i thought we went over that in this thread.
