RICE RICE BABY!.. well back then it was cool

 

1977 Chevrolet El Camino. Very underpowered 305 CID w/ 2b carb. Also, very overweight. Major gas pig.
Still, it was lots of fun on the beach, since I lived in Daytona then. Later on , I pulled the 305 and put in a 350 that I had built. Was a mild rebuild on a 2 bolt main block, so I was only pushing about 300HP at the fly. I spent too much money on the old beater. Lots of good memories though, especially since it was my grandad's old ride.

 

1979 toyota liftback.
bought at 680,000 miles died @ 940,000 miles...

best car ever bought for $200.

 

SO YOU'RE THE OWNER!!!!!

I've had questions about that car!!!!

When I had my MR2 I had some....undisclosed plans for it.....and I saw you had fans under the intercooler, just like the McLaren F1 had fans to improve downforce under the car

I wanted to know how you installed them, and what the differences were in the car, if you could feel a difference.

I don't know of any other MR2 owner that's done it like that (and I've met a TON of them)

 

If you are planning on going trunk mount i/c and daily driving it, dont do it. The turbo lag was so bad that it was such a pain to drive around town. Well, I did have a T04X (turbo made my XS-engineering) and that was part of the cause. The fans did not make any difference in downforce, but they did work well in cooling the intercooler, although I had to sacrifice my trunk. With the intercooler mounted in the trunk, it was hard to get any airflow coming throw the i/c. The fans solved that problem. As for the install, I basically cut a hole in the bottom of the trunk to mount the fans into. Then I had someome fabricate an aluminum shroud to direct air from the fans directly through the intercooler. If I could go back and do it again, I would have mounted the fans directly onto the I/C and vented it out somewhere. In the end, I ended up selling the entire setup and ran a GReddy T67 with the sidemount I/C and a FAL 7" fan bolted onto that. The driveability improved a lot and so did my track times. I made the mistake of having too much turbo for my motor, if that makes any sense. I wish I had some pix of that setup, but my computer crashed and bye-bye went the harddrive as well all the pictures i had.

BTW, sorry for hijacking this thread...

 

I have some pics I dl'ed a long time ago from it, if you don't have them I can upload them
