what about efficiency, and "resistance" for air flow ?
how about lag?,
what kind of Turbo are You using ?
is this something out of the shelf, or it is made on request for You?.

i know a lot of questins

**mpampis_** · 04-12-12, 08:12

Haha. Its ok about question. I have a chineese T3/T4 stage 3 wheel .64 ar from xspower. I have no lag in case with my old intercooler but in the same settings in boost controler i have 0.2 bar boost less. Ex at 60% to my dsbc boost controller i had 1.7 bar boost and with this intercooler o have 1.51 bar. I will buy a gt35r now so i will fill this intercooler better. I bought the intercooler from www.toyosports.co.uk for about 100 euros.

How thick is the new intercooler? Is it thicker than the old one.

Also did you manage to take any temperature measurements to compare between the old an new intercoolers?

it's really strange that almost no one makes single side (inlet/outlet) IC with downflow design, something similar to daltaparts design,
so there will be not much piping, and a lot less turbo lag...

by the way heve You considered using EVO9 turbo ?
heard much opinions about very very fast spooling, and suitable power ratios.

It is 10mm thicker than the old one. The new one is 76mm thick. I hear a lot for evo's turbo but i have to change the exhaust manifold too. The second thing is that with evo's turbo i can't go to 600 or more hp. Steve i can measure the air temperature with my RP-LAB programmable ecu but now here we have 6 degrees celcium and i can't compare with previous measurments. With my old intercooler with 17 degrees celcium at 1.7 bar boost i had 39 degrees inlet air at 7000 rpm so i have to compare with same conditions

Not very good photos but we are in the final way

**Steve Webb** · 22-12-12, 16:26

Is that part of the bumper based on the standard 155 bumper? Its difficult to see with it being that colour.

**Steve Webb** · 22-12-12, 16:57

Are you going for this look :

or this one:

**mpampis_** · 22-12-12, 18:49

I will build the second one Steve. We build it with parts from the stock bumper. Piece by piece and it is about 50mm thicker and of course wider so a lot of work. Same filosophie for the rear bumper too. We build bumpers and sideskirts exactly as the second photo you uploaded. 100% replica for the bumpers.

**mpampis_** · 22-12-12, 18:54

I would like to ask you all if you know how to find the gta spoiler. I'm asking that because it is hard to wait to manufacture this from zero.

**Xti** · 23-12-12, 15:31

The GTA bumpers are the best from my side too.

Not sure were to look for a GTA original front bumper as they are so rare, even replicas would be very hard to find and wouldn't be cheap either...

As for the rear one, are you after the one in the 2 pics below ?

PS: Are the bumpers (F/R) you want to build going to fit the 155 WB too or just the ones with GTA kit you already have? Thanks.

Cris

**mpampis_** · 23-12-12, 16:27

Hi Cris, i don't search about bumpers because we produce these right now. I'm searching for the spoiler on the trunk (maybe the correct word is not spoiler) if i don't find we will manufacture this too. The bumpers we are making for my project are about 80mm wider so they will look better with wide fenders

**Steve Webb** · 23-12-12, 17:27

Is it this spoiler you are after:

or this one?

I think the second one is more subtle, from a Ti-z , I think Subaru used something similar. The first one is the correct GTA spoiler, but looks a little too universal.

**mpampis_** · 23-12-12, 17:37

Yes Steve. The first one with double wings

**mpampis_** · 28-12-12, 15:58

Work in progress

**Billy_Bear** · 28-12-12, 22:10

I love it. You do a really nice job. It's a perfect mix between racing car and a legal street car look ( in switzerland it could very hard to pass the MOT and police control

, but for a racing car is it perfect).

**mpampis_** · 28-12-12, 22:17

Thank you very much mate

Everytime I see your work a thought comes to my mind again and again: to start one more project like the one I've had before. Just better. It doesn't seems to me that bad and this seriously scares me. Strange! I might need professional help...

**mpampis_** · 03-01-13, 09:13

Projects are our creation.... For sure i want to do something new too even i don't finish this one. My dream is to prepare a veloce gta but i need a chassis first of all and secondly MONEY.... Hahahaha i hope everything will go well to the projects we all have in our mind

**Xti** · 03-01-13, 11:12

First it's the dream, true?

I wish to you and everyone in here good luck and everything else needed to fulfil your dreams!

Cheers,
Cris.

**mpampis_** · 07-01-13, 15:13

**Varypodaros** · 07-01-13, 17:26

**Steve Webb** · 10-01-13, 07:21
