I'm probably gonna piss some people off here, but that intercooler looks waaay to big! I am wrong or is that thing mostly for show? Maybe some you think it looks cool, but to me it looks to big?!!?! Maybe fperra or some or someone smarter than me will chime in here......The IC doesn't have to be that big does it?

 

Considering the amount of air a GT35R can produce, it's not too big. You want to keep the air charge as cool as possible.

It's roughly the same size as the Speedcraft intercooler.

 

If there is a question then noone will get pissy. Well at least I won't unless you say WTF you doing that for thats stupid. LOL :-). Lots of airflow is needed with the GT35R so the intercooler was matched accordingly based on the airflow and pressure in the system.

Here are a couple picks I thought I could share. Now again the car is not done yet so hold the questions. There is still a lot of moving things around and stuff. I will post finalized pictures in about a week. It is getting there and I think Geoff and his crew at Full-Race are doing a great job so far. The intercooler just looks awesome.










Thanks to everyone for all the info to get me to move forward in going turbo.

 

If you guys say that it needs to be that big then I'm sorry for the " just for show comment" Man, the other day when I posted that the IC just looked huge! It doesn't look as big now

I'll have to admit I was under the influence at the time. I injured my back and I have been on lori tab 7.5's and valium Thanks for posting up the pics and answering the question. Gives me inspiration to start a turbo setup myself!

 

that looks like its going to be a messy oil change.

 

IF you look at the unit for the oil filter you will notice some easy access mounting screws. Unscrew flip unit over and remove filter. I would say this will be cleaner than the whipeing of oil from the factory location. Then flip the unit back over and install new filter. Should be rather cake. Thanks for looking though. At first I thougt the same thing. Easier once I saw the screws.

Flipping that oil filter block with those short aeroquip hoses will kink them. Don't do it unless you remove them first. Me? I'd just pull the filer off and let 'er rip.

 

I'd punch a hole in the top of the filter to let the oil drain back to the pan. Wait 20-30 minutes at the filter should be almost empty.

Toyota mounts the filter on camry's almost vertical as well, the same trick works for them.

 

And then I would change my mind and do it the way Slow said.
