The celica gt4 (94/99) charge cooler can handle a good amount of power for its size, its a common upgrade on the mr2s when you start going towards the 400bhp mark
Just means another rad and water circuit though

When using a ST205 GT4 water/air charge cooler (or any higher BHP charge cooler) you need quite a big radiator to get them working properly, like smal car size... A lot of the MR2 swaps use a Rover Metro radiator! plus there's the extra plumbing/complexity to consider
... For simpicity's sake a nomal air/air intercool would be the way to go. Top mount may be an option if you don't mind having a big bonnet scoop. The later 3S-GTE's in the ST215 went back to using air/air topmounts

But there must be reason why top mount air/air intercoolers are often called "interwarmers" - especially in car like Roadster, which rather don't go at high speeds, because of aerodynamics.
So - I think water/air intercooler could be very good way - small and efficient.

Big thanks to Skov for the great price on the fuel sender. If anyone wants a standard 1.6 mk1 mx5 fuel pump give me a shout!
As you can see a nice Walbro 255lph RX7 GSS342 33911-3 fuel pump. All i need now is the plug for the sender lol

 There's a small chance I might still have the plug, I'll have a root through all the crap I cut out of my loom and see if I can spot it. UPDATE: I had a look through my box of MX5 wiring this evening and couldn't find it  Have you tried the MX5Nutz forum? Last edited by skov : 8th March 2012 at 11:57 PM.

Will see if i can find one on the MX5 forum
Nosecone now split and repositioned. Looks quite mean i think need to work out what to do with the center grill bit to split the air between intercooler and radiator. Can now organize the radiator and intercooler now i know how much space i have. Also decided to go for a 2mm steel floor welded rather than ally. Anyone see it being a problem with having the seat runners welded to the cross bars but then the bars bolted to the chassis?
