fitting the RX 7 core is real easy - see the attached link http://groups.msn.com/924CarreraGTInfoSite/intercoolers.msnw this is a RX7 core that I've fabricated to suit the 924 Turbo. _ made easier by the fact that I've a genuine GT to use as a pattern. (I've made 7 over the last 9 months)
If you're going to do it the joint to the throttle body should be like the old Series I units and be a rubber hose and hose clamp. Anything else and you're going to get leaks and also the core and end tanks of the RX7 are not strong enough to be fixed like the GT cooler.

Is your front mount done yet? Would like to conpare notes. Thanks.

"Neil,
I have done this conversion several times and own a replica. It is as close to real as possible... Although the end result is awesome the amount of work invested is high. I can source all the parts and even have the OEM original stickers. As far as the intercooler....they are rare. It took me nearly 2 years to locate one. I can provide any information you need on the engine and cooler. Just let me know.
FWIW I am selling our 937 Replica.
Best,
Stephen" |
