Frontal - Toyota Caldina, 2.0L, 2000
Vryatli I will write better than here www.clubturbo.ru/forum/sh...5bee5df8b6a4cf2389&p=3230
All Japanese turbo cars from the factory are equipped with intercoolers (air coolers), but they are usually located either under the hood or in the fender, that is, they are not frontal (located in the front bumper of the car for better airflow). The exceptions, perhaps, are the GTR and Evo. Toyota is doing worse with this. In this article we will try to highlight the pros and cons of installing a front mount intercooler (FMIC).
It is no secret that a turbine compresses air, creating pressure, and thereby heats it up to a certain extent, depending on atmospheric pressure, air temperature, etc. The hotter the temperature outside the window, the more your turbine heats up the air going into the intake manifold. The more the air heats up, the less its density and the presence of oxygen molecules, the less gasoline enters the mixture, the less power.
Standard underhood or "winged" intercoolers have a relatively small area and are poorly ventilated, especially under the hood, since they, among other things, also heat up from the engine. All of this is compounded during the hot summer months - the main time for racing. Therefore, if the car is used for driving, racing and minimizing power loss is vital, then installing a front intercooler becomes a necessity.
On the forum Kaldina-turbo bought a used intercooler
I was looking forward to 3 weeks until he arrives from Blagoveshchensk. And here's a call from Zheldorexpedition - I'm going to pick up the cargo) Then from 7 pm to 3 am - installation. sawing, cutting, adjusting.
I collected everything, test drive - everything is fine! Now the boost pressure at the old settings of the boost controller has dropped by 0.1 kg, but the car rides much more fun! It remains to cut the bumper and screw it into place.
With a bumper it looks like this:
Price tag: 20,000 ₽ Mileage: 159,000 km
How does it feel? Have you tried pouring cold water on the frontal camera or with a fire extinguisher and then take a ride?
I screwed the pipes in the wrong place, confused the air with the radiator, the pump inflated and burst! =)))))
as a basis, you can take from 205 seliki :) Up to 400 forces it is more than enough
"the turbine in half a second is gaining 1kg again and the car is bringing down again" It is necessary to put "antilag", as on rally cars)))
when you blow 1 kg, the moment shifts lower in rpm. as a result, you do not feel any turbo lag) the current is a small delay when switching. when the gas is released, the blower releases the pressure, and when on the next gear you press on the gas again, the turbine again gains 1kg in half a second and the car knocks down again.
It is strange that there are no changes in the turbo lag. She had to rise in speed due to the lengthening of the track))
can be made cheaper by using Chinese pipes, a cooler and installing everything yourself. But cheaper does not mean better) Although I do not have a final version, I plan to make the track shorter by turning the cold snail down. As for the turbo lag, I did not notice any significant changes.
It turned out on a budget :) By the way, how about a turbo lag? how much has it increased?
There are now four radiators! : D Front intercooler, A / C condenser, engine radiator and box radiator =)
What for you two radiators? =) Just kidding! Now the car looks cool just like from the movie Fast and the Furious, so if they were shooting a barn there, they would definitely choose Kaldin!
frontal is the right thing. when he put the difference even without boost! The cooler, which is supplied by the front, adds a lot of power!
I have been interested in this question for a long time: what happens when driving in winter ... slush, in theory, decently clogs the surface of the cooler ... as a result, the temperature of the air inhaled by the engine rises, which can adversely affect its operation ... but what if the snow is scooped up to the headlights ... I am
interested, because the family has a turbo forik - for him the snowdrifts are much more relevant, therefore, they are interested in the consequences of such visits to the snowdrifts.
