anyone have any pics or the intercooler? i think i've seen every pic on the web and every pic in the brochures but no good viewable pics of an intercooler

 

its an aftercooler not a shiny looking radiator in front grill, like most

Pictures I took at the DC auto show

 

here ya go

 

thanks a lot guys

 

That’s why we are here Did you order a Cobalt?

 

ordered it on the 21st of Jan. these things better get here soon im going insane without a car... EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM SCION! the tc's are horrible in the rain

 

I take it you had one? The TC is a nice lil car IMO

 

just doesn't grip to the ground like it should.. i had one tottalled it, spun out going 40 round a wet curve into a tree. girlfriend did the same thing. they are nice but not good for anything but dry straight roads

 

I've actually heard some bad stories of them in bad weather conditions, my freinds girlfreind totaled one because she skidded going around a curve (sounds alot like ure story lol) and hit a tree. I just don't think they grip as well as they should, thats what toyota gets for trying to make cheap classy cars. Also alot of these stories have swayed me away from scions.
Cobalt all the way

 

yeah... and it feels good to step out of the imports into the domestic level.. hopefully ill stay.. but either way ill definitly stay away from scion tc's

 

ok...you got it wrong in the pic(honest mistake cause it does look like a front mount).....the silver thing you see is actually just the condensor for the air conditioning..its located right in front of the radiator. The real intercooler/aftercooler is located in #502 in the pic below

The Cobalt doesnt have a front mount intercooler, rather a laminova heat exchanger
unlike the srt-4(which has an air-air intercooler like most turbo vehicles.) The 2.0 LsJ engine has a laminova heat exchanger(fancy way of saying liquid-air intercooler)

So basically inside the manifold they have these little tubes(4 of them) that coolant runs threw to cool the aircharge right before it goes into the chambers.

where is the intercooler located? ive looked at the redlines to get an idea, but found nothing, if that is the radiator and not the intercooler than where is it and how big could it possibly be?

 

ok...did you even read my post......the intercooler ia about as big as a 1/2 loaf of bread...

its number 502 in the pic i posted.its not big

 

HOLY ****!!!!
i didnt know scions were so unsafe? Gee... no wonder i feel safer in a mini cooper or a civic.
Either way that talked me out of a scion, but im still trying to make up my mind.
scions look lioke ass anyway...

 

then how come it says: (502) Intake Manifold ??
and is that huge air conditioning unit really necessary?? Looks like they ripped it off a silverado.....

 

the intercooler number is 523, it goes into the manifold 502 thus intercooling the air befor intering the cylinder head.

 

where does the heat exchanger cool it's water down?? Snowman can you get a blow out of that system. I assume the heat exchanger has a radiator mounted somewhere on the car...

 

The heat exchanger uses the engine coolant to cool the instake charge, it does not have a separate supply.

 

if thats the case... first mod on this car should be blocking the engine coolant and running a seperate radiator/pump for thet intercooler...

That is what the Cobra/Lightning guys do, they have the same setup.

 

crazzy stuff.... should hook the A/C up to the intercooler, that'll get it cold as chit

 

You know what's funny,

 

the IC has its own coolant supply and resivior... read your owners manual, makes good bathroom reading.

 

so any ideas for a larger IC setup
