| Our installation instructions have been developed so that even the average weekend mechanic can install our system. It should take a little over an afternoon to install the TDR Intercooler using standard hand, air and electric tools. The instructions include over 70 pictures to help detail the thirteen steps involved in installing the TDR Intercooler. The small photos shown will enlarge by clicking on them. Due to the Intercooler piping, the factory hood prop cannot be stored in its normal latched position across the front of the engine. Therefore when you purchase your TDR Intercooler form Track Dog Racing we NOW include free hood struts. Instructions are included with the hood strut package. The hood struts do require a 6 x 100 mm tap for installatiion. This intercooler has been designed and tested specifically for the 1999 to 2004 Mazda Miata using the BR Performance MP62 supercharger or the Jackson Racing M45 supercharger, operating under high-boost applications such as track and heavy-duty street use. Extensive testing was done on the track, where we can monitor our results and improve on our system. We also offer an Intercooler system for the Jackson Racing Supercharger, the Greddy Turbo and other soon-to-be-announced models. The TDR Intercooler unit installs in front of the air conditioning evaporator and bolts up using factory mounting holes. The TDR Intercooler does require some modifications in the engine bay and radiator area, but the modifications are not extensive. The brushed stainless steel 2 1/8" mandrel-bent tubes are designed to keep the length of the airway as short as possible to maintain quick throttle response and reduce pressure drop. All TDR panels are CAD-designed and cut on a CNC router to ensure a perfect fit. Additionally, the radiator shield is powder-coated in a beautiful black crinkle finish. It should take about a day to install the TDR Intercooler system using standard hand, air and electric tools. The instruction include over 70 pictures to help detail the thirteen steps involved. The small photos shown will enlarge by clicking on them, the larger images offer much more detail. Suggested Upgrades With the added horsepower and torque, we strongly suggest upgrading your radiator and motor mounts. We designed our radiator shrouding to increase air flow to the radiator. With the Intercooler mounted, air flow to the radiator is reduced and could cause overheating under some conditions. The three most common radiators available are manufactured by PWR, Koyo and FM. We suggest the PWR radiator as an excellent upgrade choice. The 1 1/2" depth makes it easy to install, and it provides excellent cooling capacity. The Koyo will also work, but the extra depth requires additional cutting to the fan motor supports. Also, if you are using the Racing Beat sway bar brace with the Koyo, you will have to remove it. The Koyo is about 2" deep and provides more cooling capacity than is necessary. To upgrade your radiator, contact Track Dog Racing. f you have not replaced your motor mounts with our Mazda Speed Heavy Duty motor mounts we suggest you upgrade as soon as possible. Excessive engine movement can cause extra stress on your dive train components, including the transmission and the TDR intercooler system. We also offer the PPF power frame stiffener that will increase power train rigidity and reinforce the rear differential mounts. Track Dog Racing can provide you these components.
