Anyone know where to get this kind of kit ?

not easy to find it at Malaysia except oversea
 
just use a very long hose & just connect your windscreen washer to to
the front of the intercooler......when u press your wscreen washer, yr ic get sprayed too :rofl:
 
like that my washer running out of water la after few spray la
 
there is water spray kit for top mounted intercooler cars such as Subaru, but not sure whether it works for front mounted intercooler cars.
 
to all ZTH..
I asking about water to air intercooler kit le
not the intercooler spray kit
 
there is one feller selling in zth market place bout 1 month ago, not sure sold or not....water to air intercooler only got 1 problem, u need a extra water pump (electrical) and radiator to circulate the heated water which is space consuming
 
peterj.
I know that
just looking another option to source the IC locally for clearance measurement
worry order thru oversea.. clearance not match then eat shit liow
 
Y not just air to air intercooler..? isn't that more cooling efficiency. Except u running nitrogen in the coolant...
 
Yes.. if the car is moving, stop n go will still heat soak the sucker like a subaru, the best part is response when driving on stock cooler, nothing better. If u look at charge vehicle nowdays, especially VW hot hatch, front mount big facing thin intercooler for response n cooling. Toyota stop designing water to air intercooler for a reason.

Suggestion on the pump, mod it to run constantly(will reduce pump life span but best when stop n go), adding a fan to the cooler also, in malaysia weather this is a must. Happy modding...
 
i guess u make one yourself, usually they take a small intercooler such from GSR or SR20 or such , then u need to weld the enclosure which can be done locally too , then u can use a 12V water pump to circulate the water :)

those water to air cooler have different core
some quote from Air to Water Intercooler

Some Water to Air Intercoolers that you can buy online do not contain true water to air cores. A true water to air core has water passages that are much smaller than the air passages. This is part of what allows the water to air intercooler to be so small and have such low pressure drop. Some water to air intercoolers that you buy online use an air to air core design where the air passages for ambient air and intake air are the same size, with an enormous loss of efficiency.


Of course the kit I looking at mostly come with pump
it just the size concern only
need to get the right size only

usually in here when we do fabricate water intercoolers we use an aircond cooling coil..and pump we use from bot water pump...and its for drag car coz we use ice,and put in small ice box...heee:biggrin:
 
drag car is ok. since short period..
I looking for street driving purpose
 
for what car? toyota st version got water to air cooler as well as early legacy if mistaken....

if space was your main concern would be a better option if u order custom made water to air cooler as jinkl suggestion
 
find 1/2 cut celica with 3sgte, normally come with water to air IC...
 
Croydon
I know can get ebay easily
but for measurement issue, hope can get local reseller to comfirm the size
my engine bay is damn tight compared other 4 cylinder car

I looking for maximum size and shortest piping for my car setup

har1th7
Celica 3S box cannot clear my engine bay
 
I think u r better off ordering the authentic kit overseas la bro. Afraid if u buy locally it would do u more harm than good. As u xplained, w2a cores are totally different. Basically its reverse method of a2a. U can ask the dimension from the manufcturer..
