bought intercooler
 
i got an intercooler on ebay because i couldn't resist the temptation and it look way cleaner than the one i currently got. Currently = about 18" including tanks... new on is 29" overall by 9 by 3...

Now my a/c has problems so if needed to i'll remove it to fit this IC, but i'd like to know if i can keep it, will there be fitment issues here? I'm ok with cutting some bumper trim or whatever needed but i'm just curious to hear some opinions...


good or bad i'm ready for it!!!
oh yeah, just under $100.

sounds a bit large, plan to run 500hp soon?

Braineack 09-04-2007 08:51 PM

should fit without cutting or moving a/c

Mouglie 09-04-2007 08:57 PM

thanks guys, 500 i wish...lol

hopefully by the time i install everything and MS i'll be around 250hp as a landing point...


I'm away from my car but i'm buying parts like crazy.. on a weekly basis... when i get home i got wheels sportmax, LC-1, af gauge, boost gauge, intercooler, IC pipes, and alot of fiberglass to play with...

that might get you a cylinder head from those rapists.... $4K could do it, but only if you did everything on your own and used a lot of second hand parts.

Mouglie 09-05-2007 08:45 PM

for 4k i beter get some god damn head, ehh polishing that is... head polishing...

Savington 09-05-2007 09:54 PM

29x9x3? Damn.

Mine is 27x6x2.5, IIRC (might be 27x8)

aww man *jaw drop*, thats a tight fit... i'll need to squeeze in two inches, lol...
do your pipes run onto anything on the inlet and outlet, any rubbing or
tight places? Thanks for the pic, could you post some of your IC piping just to see how you routed it?
