27 Sep Boxed In
Since it’s been a little while, we felt that we could put up some photos from the build of Scott’s Turbocharged Explorer.
When the intercooler piping was still being arranged, we set out to make a water reservoir for the system. Unlike air-to-air intercoolers, which runs the air through the intercooler where it drops in temperature, a liquid-to-air intercooler uses liquid to take the heat from the intake charge. As a result, you’ll need a source for that water, and this reservoir will be that source on Scott’s Explorer. There’s not much else that can be explained, so let’s just take a look at some welds! Fabrication’s adeptness with aluminum is bordering on robotic these days!
And in case you’re wondering what’s up with the awkward shape of the box, it’s pretty simple — fitment. With the box shaped as it is, we’re able to fit it in just behind the passenger side turbo:
