wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Do NISSAN PULSAR GTIR TOP MOUNT INTERCOOLER fit on glanza??? Anyone tried that before?Heard a lot of people having a RX-7 top mount intercooler, is the size perfect fit straight on??Another question:Do people install their FMIC, they also remove the aircon kit?? or something... because the air con kit take a lot of space!!Or even a charge cooler??

Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 No the pulsar one doesn't fit unless you mount up front, to be honest you can get FMIC's so cheap these days it's not worth it.Rx7 Rev 2's do fit but you need a new bit of silicone to go from the cooler to throttle body. Most FMIC's are designed to fit with aircon, hence why the routing is so silly and goes across the manifold, down the side, back across and into the cooler all for the sake of the three hot days we get in summer!Ideally bin the aircon, free up some much needed space (you can now relocate the air filter), save around 15kg's and re-route the hot side of the piping to shorter for better engine and turbo response Hope that helps.Toby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 ThanksAnd how about is that worth to use a charge cooler on a EP? I knew they are expensive!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 For the cost and gaines not really but everyone will be differnt, has been done before If me I would stick with a good FMIC or a ARC TMIC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 they are indeed! and unless you are doing some serious track time or building a drag strip beast it's not werth the cost and effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 because saw the cost of a charge cooler in a japanese website that the cost is the same as you buy a brand new FMIC..Does anyone know how to set the charge cooler up??I am really interesting to get one of that, Big time!!I heard that Celica St205 using charge cooler 2, is it?

Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 You can get a good FMIC for £300.00 and under, where have you seen one in Japan and what price? T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 it is about 300 which is used Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 which is a custom made one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 go for it if you want to be different i would love to see a thread with your car and details about the charge cooler- you will need to set up a water injection system which i asume you get everything you would need to fit to your car from this place?i think thats how they work? cooloing the incoming air with water jets keeping the intake temps super low? could be wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Is it on yahoo? If so don't forget buyer fees, VAT at import (15%) and customs and excise duty will maybe be more like £400.00 once here.I think Tim had one made a while back sure it was arond £750.00 may be wrong T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 which tim?(I am tim too )I have got some fds live in the far east country, and i think they can do it for me easily...I will try.....I think i do need a pipe hole for dumpvalve, am i right!! Just like the FMIC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That is pretty much it, normal cooler is air to air, charge is air to water so you can influence the temps more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks guys.... Hope i can get a nice one!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Il be going for a fmic on my gt-four in the summer, so charge cooler for sale soon. It uses a pump to pump coolant round the charge cooler core, has its own radiator aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wchtim Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 i dont think they fit on starlet TBH, well can do with a lot of pipes going around the engine bay... how come u change to FMIC>?? is your chargecooler not good enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The charge cooler is good for around 350bhp, some even run 400 with one. However I do alot of drag runs at the pod and in warm weather it can't keep intake temps low enough. You can put lagging material around it to help keep it cool but a fmic makes more sense for what Im going to be doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
