Big Mark Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Any updates on the Chris? My dash should be coming out this weekend and won't be going back in until end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I don't think its a panic stage. There are plenty of companies around that re-core radiators and heater matrix's. Just means people will have to park up the car while the core is repaired or replaced and it may cost more than an off the shelf Toyota one did (though maybe not knowing Toyota prices). Supra owners will just need to get savvy about having parts fixed, patched or machined. welcome to old classic car ownership! http://readyrads.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 It's an all alloy core, in welded alloy end tanks, not made to have a new core fitted. It's in Germany with my IC builder for evaluation. It will be at least as dear as the last price from Toyota, but looks doable. It's quite sophisticated with a high tube density and a double pass header tank design, plus the pipe couplings will need machining as it's not a simple push on fitting. Cutting the old tanks off and cleaning them up, seeing how corroded they are and checking the pipe fitting stubs for corrosion and damage is likely more costly than just making male formers and hand beating new ones. We'll see, but don't expect a bargain price. At least they should perform as well or better than OE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Nice, i may be up for one next year as a back up as my heater is on alot during winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Interesting stuff... If this were to go ahead, and there was enough interest for a group buy, would you consider getting more intercoolers made up at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sure, I have an order for one as it is. 2 more and they'd do three as the race season is all but damn it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Sorry Chris I must have missed this. So you can get these made? Can you tell me the cost please. Feel free to PM or email me if you'd rather not dicuss prices on the open forum. Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There is a complete setup listed at the moment on eBay which looks to be priced well at £150. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-MKIV-JZA80-Complete-Heater-Unit-Removed-Working-/272563472136?hash=item3f760c8708:g:IPsAAOSw4CFYqdOA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 A sample OE core is in Germany right now being assessed. The same people who do my intercoolers. Awaiting their opinions on viability and costing. Will announce to the group as and when, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
