stock intercooler

[eyz closd]

i was just wondering how much hp can the stock intercooler support. i know my stock intercooler is getting heat soaked real quick with the turbo i have and now my motor is giving minor but steadily changing to major problems...

if ur running higher than stock boost....its recommended that you get an aftermarket IC unless u want to continually have the problems with heat soak like how ur describing now....

i was thinking about to the greddy intercooler with a spal fan on it or maybe a spearco but i was also considering a air to water. if was to get a water sprayer kit would that solve my problems.. im just stuck on what to do b/c funds are running tight rite now and the engine is slowly but surely giving out on me...

Water sprayers are worthless in my opinion.
You money would be better spent on an actual water injection kit.

What makes you think your engine is giving out?

When was the last time you installed NEW TOYOTA cap, rotor, wires and some new plugs?

If your engine is really giving out on you, upgrading the IC is not going to help fix whatever damage is already done.

i changed the distributor car and rotor cap 2 months ago and i just changed to the trd wires like 3 weeks ago. and the plugs were changed in may.. i just wanted know how cold the stock mr2 plugs are. and what are the best plugs for the mr2 b/c i have ngk iridium plugs and im not sure how many steps colder they are from stock. i think i should changed the plugs again.. but im not sure..

i also think that i need to reajust the valves b/c i think i here a valve that is knocking against the valve cover so thats why i think the engine is going slowly but surely.. because in the last 3 weeks the car hasnt seemed the same so im going to get it dynoed and see if im runnign lean.. oh and i wanted to know if i could use silicone hose to run to the wastegate. because i had to run a new "fuel" line in place of a corroded vacume line that let up under heat in the engine bay.. i think i would need two puller fans to get that hot air out..
