Toyota all-trac air/water intercooler

Re: Toyota all-trac air/water intercooler (surefooted)

yes its far superior to the stock intercooler. lol. you expected that?
It does have on fallacy. It cools down slower (engine off) than the stock intercooler, but thats the nature of the beast.
I have massive digilogs of that car pictured above when it had severe overheating problems (bad hg) and it took in trememdous amounts of timing without detonating.
So yeah, its good. Without comparing it to a FMIC or another A/W i can't say how good, but its WAY better than stock.
We logged a variety of sensors (all of them) and even when the car was nailing 230F coolant temps it was very resistant to detonation.
basically the only evidence (to date) that i can offer is yes its way better than the stock one, but it doesn't take much evidence to come to that conclusion. It is a tight fit!

Re: Toyota all-trac air/water intercooler (mrkrad)

you gata drop the bumper to get the radiator on and run the coolant lines, and a ralley oultet kit and a foot of extra 3" silicon tube(green one) is all you need beyond hacking up the stock stuff to make it fit(ghetto but it works)
it works GREAT, before i got the water hooked up i took it for a spin and you will see about 1 psi increase in boost from 2000 rpm to peak(faster pressurization due to shorter tubes)
also it keeps the intake temps damn near the same ALL THE TIME, got about 3 degrees hotter on boost then off boost but thats it, plus there is no heat soke from sitting in traffic, or not traviling at speed(works better at speed though, but doesnt fall on its ass like a FMIC when giong slow)
I love it, im acutally planning on making a better custom one now air to water RULES
oh and as for it comparing to a PWR one....if you got $$ get the PWR, this thing is a OEM toyota part....no chance in hell its as good as a PWR...BUT its cheap and does a pretty damn good job
