intercooler

[noofa]

Gday.

I have a 3sfe 91 camry.

i have been working on a budget and have extractors back exhaust at 2.25inch. cold air intake and a few other minor mods.

anyways

i want to supercharge or turbo the car. and i was wondering which intercooler would do the best job. i would be after a standard top mount/front mount any intercooler realy and it needs to be efficent and small. that will be placed in the front mount position. looks dont matter btw.

something real thick from a used vehical would be cool. im after sugestions this is not a want to buy but if you have something for sale give me a buzz.

I know this doesn't really help, but you should think about a 3sgte- then you don't have to deal with internal upgrades, etc. and the work amount will probably be about the same- and you can even keep the TMIC

[noofa]

yeh, i know. but just for now im looking at the old 3sfe, doing it in parts.

[JetspeedCamry]

Would'nt it be wise, if your doing it in parts, to upgrade the internals then on the "'ol 3sfe" ?? Makes more sense than bolting a turbo to it first...and asking about intercoolers...

since you are are on a budget... check with the intercoolers from mk3 supra, and a lot of saabs and other turbo cars. just go to the junkyard sometime and look around for what will fit best. im sure you will find something.

jetspeed i get your point but did i say that forged internals were not on the list? did i say that i would be an idiot and wreck the engine straight up? but i guess i shhould have pointed that out at the start.

My plan is to collect the parts which can be had for cheap when they come up at a good price. im asking about intercoolers now so that i can look.

anyways if i wasnt going to get forged internals why would i be on a budget. i got one quote of 7 thousand for the whole deal (forged evrythings.)

I should also point out that i want to run up around 10 psi so should i just spend that extra few dollars on the new proper intercooler looks realy dont matter all that much?

[zoni]

10psi on any medium sized turbo will make you need to upgrade pistons, head gaskets, and make sure the engine is in good shape.

from the best of my knowledge - there are not really any tmic applications that you will find - that will fit under a camry hood without some cutting...

when i got my fmic - i went to www.johnnyracecar.com - they have recived good reviews, and has not failed me thus far - i opted for the 6 inch model and another plus was the price tage - $179 shipped to my door - i think the prices have gone up a little, but still that is a graet deal for an intercooler that is fine well up to 350HP - especially on a camry

[vsixcamry]

grasb one off an old truck, like an isuzu or mitsu. Also, running around 7psi you can get a mistubishi eclips intercooler, its small but thick. I am using one off a saab. Check your local junkyards, they can be grabbed rather cheap.. just make sure its in working condition.

[zoni]

also a thought... you could go on a DSM forum, or supraforums.com and look for stock intercoolers.

[terrastrife]

stock lancer evo or supra ic's are decent, and cheap, because theyre used

although a bit hard to plumb.

get an SC14 hooked up, that would be sexy

not a powerhouse, but sexy

[noofa]

sc14 is definatley in the radar

Look for some SRT-4 intercoolers... I've seen them floating around on the web recently and a lot of the Honda guys are jumping on the deals. seen them go for $75, and they are good up to 260WHP or a bit more depending on airflow.
