so i have been playing around with the fact of a WTA intercooler setup
but all the WTA intercoolers i find are boxed in units and would not be good for daily driving(unless your ok with filling your ice box with ice everyday)
on to my car setup:
91 turbo supra...80k miles
automatic
maft pro(speed density)
walbro 255
aeromotive a1000 afpr
godspeed fmic
2.5 hard pipes
3in downpipe
2.5in straight pipe exhaust
ct26 til i pick up my lipp boss 61mm turbo on sunday
ok so now back to how i would like to setup a WTA intercooler
i want to keep it a simple setup that will work with or without having to add ice so i wont have 150+ degree intake temps just cruising to work
my thought is:
relocat p/s resevior by abs pump for added clearance
heres the WTA cooler im looking to buy soon

this will go in place of where stock air filter box with go
so cold charge pipe coming from fmic will run into WTA cooler and other side will continue to travel to throttle body just like stock setup
this will be my front mount heat exchanger to help cool WTA water down after leaving WTA cooler

another heat exchanger like this ^^ will be mounted in ice cooler box in trunk area
so now onto my theory of operation...CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG
lets start in the trunk:
theres a ice chest mount in trunk, with heat exchanger mounted and plumbed inside
filling the ice chest will be simple tap water and ice cubes/ice packs
turning the water pump on via toggle switch will flow coolerd down water/coolant from heat exchanger straight into the WTA cooler
now the exit water/coolant coming out of the WTA cooler will flow into front mounted heat exchanger that is mounted infront of intercooler
cooled down water/coolant in heat exchanger will also help cool down fmic with help of air flow
now water/coolant exiting heat exchanger will flow back to ice box mounted heat exchanger in the trunk and start the cycle all over again
we all no engines run better in cold weather
so with cold air(hoping to be in the 50-60 degree area), bigger charger, bigger injectors...etc
i should be able to crank out some impressive numbers pretty easy without running the engine harder as if it was sucking in hot air
let me know what you think
