Alright, let’s talk about this intercooler kit. If you’re serious about boosting your Mazda RX-7’s performance, you’re going to want to hear about what we’ve got here. We put this bad boy through the wringer on our shop car—a yellow FD that’s running a T66 turbo, Haltech, and all the necessary mods to keep it breathing right.
When we first slapped on an Apexi FMIC kit, we thought we were doing alright. But then we noticed those charge air temps creeping up to 140-150 degrees. Not great, right? A little detonation here and there in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears didn’t sit well with us. And let’s not even get started on the coolant temps hitting over 210 degrees. That was all while we were running a pump gas tune at 21 psi (10.5 AFR and 10 degrees of ignition timing).
Once we switched to this intercooler kit, everything changed. Charge air temps dropped to a solid 110 degrees, with the highest we’ve seen being 122 degrees. This drop allowed us to crank it up to 23 psi on pump gas without a hiccup of detonation. Coolant temps? They went from boiling over to a comfy 185-195 degrees, and we’ve never seen them exceed 200 degrees with a stock bumper. We even had some customers with body kits reporting even better results. For a T66 turbo at 20 psi, you’re looking at charge air temps around 95-110 degrees and coolant temps around 180-185 degrees. That’s some serious efficiency.
One of the coolest things about this kit is its size. The core fills up the entire stock bumper opening, and it’s got a massive 30" tank-to-tank dimension. You won’t find many kits that can match that, especially when it comes to aesthetics. It looks killer, and it works even better.
Features:So if you’re ready to take your RX-7 to the next level, this intercooler upgrade is the way to go. Trust me, it’s a game changer.
