A2W or A2A for ls1 turbo street car? Doing an RX7 LS1 turbo setup. t76, forged 347, t56, looking for 700rwhp.
I have been looking at a FMIC A2A setup, i can fit something probably 29-31x12x3 maybe 4 thick. Here are some pics of a similar intercooler:
I'm just wondering if I'm going to have any heating issues with the radiator with that big thing in front. I am unsure if I will, I think I can feed the radiator from the bottom possibly, and I have a fan from a Taurus that moves a TON of air.
A friend said that I should look at A2W and I had always dismissed him because people said they weren't good for the street. I did some searching and looks like maybe if you have a large heat exchanger they work well and keep the temp a little above ambient. What size A2W core is needed for 700rwhp?
The A2W is going to be more expensive, so I don't know if it will be worth it. Should I try out a FMIC first? Any ideas help!
