hey what size is your intercooler, also did you need to relocate the battery?

intercooler core is 24 x 12 x 6 and yes you need to move the battery and cut a lot of bodywork out :icon_conf

You actually cut the whole front off with a big bandsaw then bolt all of the panels suspension and Motor to the IC

Bugger!

 

[group a supra]

yep cause there is bugger all i can do till i get it back but it is nice to have a little break from it to be fair and do a couple of long overdue odd and sods

A break away from a big project is very important Steve!

 

[group a supra]

yep and although it was not intended i do feel better for it :icon_bigg

:withstupi I second that mate, although it's a bummer not to have your machinery there yet a break will give you some peace of mind and the chance to get away of the project's anxiety as you may have realised already.

well hopefully it will be no more than a week now as my personel assistant the lovley kate who work at marine fabriactions and at mine in her spare time is getting impatient and wants to help finish of all the fabrication lol Ian knows what i mean :biglaugh:

 

[NashMan]

Today been to check on my welder and still the parts are not back from italy doh so no work on the car again
any way thought i would go and experiment with my new pda (spv m5000) camera wise and see if i could get some closer shots of diff cooler for you all now i took these in the normal quality mode but in the 2nd largest format option (1m) i dont think they are bad considering where i was trying to take them whilst being on my back under the car and it does give a lot more insight to it till the diff comes out of the car
ENJOY

Steve man, I wish I could understand what I'm looking at :icon_conf . Is that spiral thing the cooler? And how is it connected to the diff, do you use some kind of pump to recirculate oil?

yannis in pic 1 that is the top of the what we think is the oil cooler in pic 2 you need to rotate the pic 90 degrees clockwise and the you will see the bottom of it and how it bolts to the top of the diff the little rubber bit in the corner of the pic is the driveshaft in pic 3 we have another view of the connection between that and the top of the diff i hope this helps i will try to get some more pics tonight before dark

 

[group a supra]

done a few more pics for you yannis before it rained here but i have tried to give them some more scope so you can see where it is situated please dont laugh i know there are marks on the pics the dirt kept falling of the underneath of the car :biglaugh:

 

[yannis-supras]

:aigo: first off; is that rust that I see there??? tsk tsk tsk...man I hope you take care of this soon. Now about that cooler, was it fitted in the car or you fitted it?

lmao yannis no the car is not rusty just the diff case and roll bar lol

no that was standard from toyota was that cooler

 

[yannis-supras]

Aah right (on both counts ), so I checked the mkiii TSRM and I couldn't find that cooler anywhere. Is it connected through a port on the diff casing and does it use any kind of pump?

 

[IJ.]

Only one I've ever seen/heard of would LOVE to see the insides!
