    Hey mate it's a water to air intercooler. It uses water to cool down the intercooler rather than air so it can be more compact because there's an external radiator which is used to dissipate the heat from the water in the system.

    And thanks guys it's coming along! Just finishing off a few things then it's off to get the tune!

      So a small rad cools the water, which in turn cools the intercooler? Sounds like more plumbing and space, but certainly looks very neat and tidy! Very nicely done

        Water to air coolers tend to give more consistent results under all conditions. I'm keen to see how it goes

        If they were crap toyota would have not used them in their WRC cars.

          Added oil catch can, finished some brackets off and did all the vacuum lines, shortened ignition wires, etc etc.

          Car is now complete except the Haltech and tuning!

          I'm excited to get it running hopefully in about a month:

                    Build is going good, the car should be running by the end of this week. Then the tune will happen the following week.

                      Very nice Tim!
                      It's a credit to all your hard work.

                      You joke that it's an rx7 killer.. if it was 4WD it WOULD be!

                      I have 2x 7s. (One with no motor)
                      Must say it does hook up nicely off the line. 0-60 in a little over a second. 0-100.. in the 5s but VERY ****ING THIRSTY!

                      Yours is super neat and very well thought out. Much more of a sleeper too, as my rotor can be heard for kms away.

                      Can't wait to see more.
                      Thanks mate.
