[Mk2] [Turbo] ST185 ARC intercooler - comments?

Post by Pitcher »

Hello, I found this on ebay but guess it wont be any good for an mr2 due to the lack of air flow, what are your comments?

The only problem I see with this is a lack of cooling. On a Celica GT4 ST185 there's a bonnet scoop that feeds cold air to the cooler whilst on the move, on the MR2 there's nothing to do this. Even most Celica owners go FMIC (front mount intercooler) as an upgrade as the OE one suffers terribly from heat soak.
