Water/air intercooler
In the process of fitting a H2O/air I/C to the Spyder. What do you think of the size of the radiator?

I've got a corolla radiator on my kombi and it is a long way overkill. The temperature of it doesnt move. I dont know if oil coolers are as
efficient as cooling water as a radiator. I suspect it will be OK for a street car cos you are never on boost for too long.

as a guide I would look at what size and type a standard subaru with a water/air IC is. Have you tried that?

I know of a couple of people using oil coolers who gave up as the fittings are so restrictive. Why not use the original Legacy unit?

Amazer, the pump is a Davis Craig. Magnetic drive so no seal but $220...oouuch!
The inlet and outlet are -10 (5/8" as in the intercooler fittings) so I should be right as far as restrictions. I'll try it this weekend and
if to low a capacity then I'll find a Liberty unit or similar.
Got to be better than 100C inlet temp as now.

Hang on,
that looks almost exactly the same as an early(ish) 90's Subaru intercooler, like from a liberty rs turbo, judging by the outlet direction.
Niceties.

Got the intercooler mounted today, almost looks factory, and increased the boost by 5psi using a Turbosmart bleed valve.
