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.

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

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!

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.

Re: New Intercooler
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!

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

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.
