Man, you are touchy. I was kidding, didn't you see that I said I'm sure it works good. I'm sure your pro would eat up my MP3, my engine is s*** now. But when my turbo was on, I'd say no, you wouldn't eat me up at all. Chill out and have a beer or something. I'm not attacking your sexuality or anything. It's not like I made fat jokes about your mom.
Intercooler Decision?????

The way I see it, if you aren't adding to the conversation (thread) you are blowing hot air. I just didn't think that the comment "added" anything to thread. nuf said.
I was just trying to show a successful implementation of the SAAB intercooler on a protege turbo project.
The way I see it; the tighter core is fed by the compressor side for max heat dissipation. This is dumped into the center tank and because the bar dimension differs, additional turbulence is created to mix the air prior to being sent down the larger freer flowing core to the intake. My own "backyard" thermal dynamics engineering. Sometimes, you just have to do with what you've got. The concept seems sound to me, then again, being in Canada, cold air is a bit of a commodity.
As far as turbo'd pro's, the additional 250 lbs difference and FWIR 200bhp is all I've seen on the 3rd gen. Where the BP has reached 399 on stock internals. I don't have anything like that power, but suffice to say, standard BPT motors running 13lbs do mid 13's in the Quarter. I have my BPT running 13lbs with a VJ-22 turbo (Mazda competition turbo from New Zealand) I think that I'd have a good chance.

nice looking man. she going to be up and running before the nc/sc meet? i should have my spool stage 3 on then, we can talk turbos.
Thats a fine lookin core you got there
\Make sure total length does not go over 22 inches with end tanks

That's a nice looking job. My core is only 15X9X3 and It was pretty tight in the front. I guess you must have a bit more room up front in the 3rd gens. Are you planning on running your piping under the front frame? Did you need to mod your bumper to let this thing fit?
Rick
i haven't looked at how to route the piping yet.....i thought about under the frame but i'm using 2.5" piping and thats gonna hange quiet a bit my bumper doesn't come as low as the P5's and the Mp3s so it would show some also.....one pipe under the frame might not be bad and i can run the other somewhere else.....and the total length with endtanks will be 25 inches tip to tip of the intercooler. I will make it fit. I will even break teh sawzall out if i have to which i will....i'm going to hav eto do some hacking thats for sure....as for by March 23rd i have no idea depends on how fast i get money and how fast i can get the parts fabbed and test fitted.....regardless i will bring what i have done with me to show off probably.....i will more than likely have everythign installed by then except the turbo itself so that when i do get the turbo on its just the turbo and mani that i will have to bolt on a 1 hour job no biggy.....my thing is going to be hooking up the MF2 and the gauges along with my O2 simulator which i finally got....its a huge project but it willbe worth it.
