Turbo guys.. - 6G Celicas Forums

What you think, would this be good for my setup?? Sorry dont know what size and just want opinions.. What do you think of this??

Core size: 30 X 5 X 2

Tanks: 2.125 wide X 5.75 high X 3.25 deep

Piping: 2.5 OD X .0625 wall X 2.25 long

Outside of end tank to outside of end tank is 33.75 wide not including the inlets

There are seven cooling rows and six fin rows on this intercooler

The cooling rows on this intercooler are internally finned
sounds fine to me, like a CT26 - T3/T4 setup

yea its a t3 setup.. I was just wondering if it will do for my setup.. Like the dimensions are fine...
are you gonna go 2.5" the whole piping or is that just for the IC?

hmm iam thinkin 2.25 for the intercooler piping and 2.5 exhaust..
with a small turbo im gonna suggest 2" theyre are a lot of people who wish they had gone smaller after they put theirs on. but im not turbo expert.

for the IC piping?? You think 2 inch?? I am not really sure.. I was told to go with 2.25.. But mayb someone else will give us some input.. and thanks for the advice man
ive heard a couple of 3s guys complaining about lag with 2.25. but im not sure how the t3 compares to the ct26. i think the t3 is slightly bigger and i know it spools faster so i dunno. i think if you ever wanna upgrade defintly go big.

I have little to no lag on mine. And I'm using 2.25 for piping
i wouldnt use 2" piping, the MR2oc guys advise against it..they know theyre stuff...as far as the intercooler size...thats more a matter of what your goals are...but for under like 275-300hp i think your fine, if not a little bit on the big side >wink.gif>

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
You need the piping to be the same diameter as your throttle body from the outlet of the intercooler. From the turbo, it has to be the same size as the turbo outlet and match up to the IC inlet.
