New Intercooler
 

Hey all,

My new Bar and Plate inter-cooler showed up yesterday. The core is much larger, with slim end tanks. Overall core size is 21x3x8. Shouldn't be all that difficult to finagle in, but I will be trimming out a large part of the bottom lip of the bumper cover. Not sure when I will get around to it but here is a pic.

What do you want for your old one? I might take it off of you if you're interested...

Re: New Intercooler
 

What brand is your new IC?

Re: New Intercooler
 

You can have it for the price of shipping if you really want it. It is nothing special though and you could get a brand new one for less than a hundred shipped I would imagine.

Re: New Intercooler
 

Its a one-off made by a small machine shop. It is a copy of a Trust unit taken off an sr20 he built a few years ago.

Re: New Intercooler
 

Well heck, I think I will take it off of you.

What's your paypal address?

I'll give you more than shipping. How's $50 sound?

I want one that I know fits, plus I can say it was on YOUR car, and that counts for coolness points! :)

Re: New Intercooler
 

I will have to drag it up....I don't quite remember what the address was.

It will be good for a low boost setup on a smallish turbo. I get heat soak in third/fourth on a cool day and it doesn't do a great job in warm weather at all.

Here is a picture which shows just how much larger this will be. It looks like if I grind out a bit of the lower body pan i can hang it from above with most of it exposed.

Well, I'm not really planning on much more than 300-ish crank hp. I'm keeping mine automatic too with a built VB with my 4.11 gears and VTD trans, I think it'll launch pretty sweet.

Besides, I can always just add some water/meth injection!!

You let me know your paypal, and I'll make it happen.

Thanks Phil!

Well after grinding, cutting and pounding I have the new inter-cooler in and bumper trimmed up. The jacked bumper made it very annoying to get it in straight and true. I started the car but ran out of patience so it will have to wait to get the butt-dyno.

Nevin, will get the old unit out soon!

Who said you cant coax a nice sized intercooler in this car?

Re: New Intercooler
 

much better phil!

hahaha you might actually get some efficient cooling now! hahahaha jk jk

didn't want another ebay special? what kind of efficiency is it rated for???

Re: New Intercooler
 

Slow it goes. I have made it fit better, as well as clear some more room for better flow.

Hey Nevin,

Sorry for the delay! I will ship out this week and send you a tracking number.

Re: New Intercooler
 

Will you be removing some of the upper portion of the bumper that blocks the upper portion of the intercooler?

Looks very nice.

Re: New Intercooler
 

No worries!
