intercooler noise

[Mightyp]

Just bought a used supra intercooler, and when I shake it, it makes a little metal jiggling sound. can I get that out of there?

I wonder what the hell the noise is.

If it's a Supra SMIC, you can pull off the endtanks, they just snap off.

little metal tabs holding them on aren't they? hmmm was the supra running? might be a lost compressor blade in there

I just got done cleaning it with gas. man was it black inside! gas didn't leak anywhere. I capped off one end with a cut coke can and duct tape, stuck a leaf blower in there and the coke can shot right out. I think it will work fine.

As for the metal jiggling when I flip the bottom end tank I'll see if anyting comes out. let u guys know.

I think it might be some broke fins...? the SMIC looks pretty good for the most part.
