Just finished lagging the Water to Air Intercooler for the GT4. Left it soaking in an acid bath for a few days to strip it back to bare metal and clean out the insides. 'Lid' was then cleaned up (removed a few bleamishes etc) before it was given a coat of etch primer. A couple of layers of gloss black closely followed the graphics before the paint fully dried (I designed the graphics myself and simply sent the design to a vinyl cutter. I'm also swapping from a twin to single entry turbo soon). A couple of layers of clear coat were then added to seal in the graphics. Once that had been give a day to dry, I then lagged the lower half with a roll of Thermo-Sheild Tape TM. Job done smile.gif

While the car is off the road, decided it would be an ideal time to 'bling up' those calipers too...

Once the paint is fully cured, I'll paint the 'Celica' lettering using some white enamel paint. Rears will also get done to match biggrin.gif

Yep, GT30 turbo and stick with the stock WAI. Will be looking at increasing its efficiency even further by fitting a larger pre-rad. The WAI is extremely efficient - good enough for the WRC cars wink.gif

Then you should change your driving profile depends on the weather conditions and the temperature, this is actually what the WRC teams are making smile.gif When Toyota used to run with the ST205 in hot weather conditions country they used to tie few blocks with ICE over the chargecooler to keep it cold cuz the place (Above the Engine) was taking all the heat from the WRC Engine.
I think if you have few runs with GT30 using the stock charge cooler and have a look on your inlet temperature will help you to understand if you need a front mount intercooler or original chargecooler.  My opinion is that for just a run the chargecooler its fantastic, because you can prepare it and have the run, after the first run its getting very hot, and hotter etc.The front mount intercooler its getting cold over and over cuz of the fitting place.Another advantage of chargecooler it’s the position and the distance of the turbo, you avoid lag.

Hence the reason why I've lagged the cooler with heat reflective material. Red Line 'Water Wetter' will also help keep the water temps low and as stated, I'll also be fiting a more efficient pre-rad.
A lot of people tend to dismiss a water to air intercooler as being nowhere hear as good as a conventional air-toair. I have no intention of changing the OE set-up as I beleive that it is more than up to the job.

GT4WRC i also prefer the original Toyota charger cooler setup but in my country it is too hard to keep the temp at low levels mad.gif I enjoy my car very much by the night time smile.gif but it is what i told you before,it depends from your profile,if you want a daily driving setup and pushing the car over and over i think a FMI will be a good deal. smile.gif

I like your work on the original charge cooler smile.gif

the fastest cars i have been in have WAI

i dont doubt the cooling efficiency, the only problem i see is if the intercooler becomes a flow restriction

Rods were finished being shotpeened and polished last night along with the pistons, crank, flywheel and clutch cover, they went down to the engine balancer today.

Crank, flywheel and cover plate were loaded up and balanced to within a gnats whisker...

The completed rods. All weighed and within 0.01g of each other...

The lower end was then 'dummy' assembled to ensure that the deck height was okay. Within 1/100th mm from end to end.

Just awaiting delivery of the new TRD main shells before the final build can begin.
