another noob

hey guys i have all ways been a celica fan but now im getting my first all-trac. its an 88. and i was wondering if i could see pics of your guys intercooler set ups that would be great im trying to figure out how i want to run my pipes.

are you talking about piping for a front mount intercooler on a st165?
there are a few members that converted but most of us 165ers are still wta...

yeah im talking about front mounts. i know atw is more efficent but i think a front mount looks mean. and i want to add an intercooler sprayer. thats why i want a front mount.

would you rather have it cause it looks cool? or would you rather have it for a purpose. there is a difference. IMO, keep your wta.

however, if you do go front mount, i do think you will have to cut some things down there depending how big of an intercooler you want.

Not many 165s go the front mount route due to the fact that you have to loose the foglights.

Stay with WTA. Get something to use as a larger heat exchange (I use a really big oil cooler as in my the photos on my sig. It tripled my capacity and is dual core), get a higher flow pump for the IC (I used a rousch racing 240 gph off ebay), and maybe a resevoir to allow for more coolant capacity. Rewire your pump for constant run.

Don't fall victim to the big FMIC bragging-rights crap. Many of the big horsepower GT-Fours and MR-2s use aftermarket WTA.

Also, keeping your factory fogs keeps one of the primary things about your car that tells the world it is an Alltrac - a rare car with a real pedigree and not some late-comer cookie cutter Honda, Sub or DSM.
