Here's some more pics.. Disregard the HKS flange welded to this intercooler. It is a custom job for another customer.

So, they are technically (with the cast-in bead roll) 2-9/16"

I can sell you just the core, and you can build your own endtanks.. ;)

I see the BOV flange welded to the endtank more and more, usually in the Honda camp though. What's the purpose of doing it that way as opposed to putting the flange on the piping?

+1 for a good question.

Price on just the core?

Ben 06-01-2007 03:35 PM

probably just because it's easy to weld to, being flat

i can't see how the bov would work any more or less effectively.

It's for sound.The majority of the Honda guys are ricers,most of them only go turbo just for the sound of the BOV.

I would think in that position it would be quieter. Nice over generalization though.

How is it quieter? The BOV is basically outside the car when mounted in that position vs. being under the hood.

nester 06-01-2007 04:17 PM

We put it there partly for simplicity. Stock one flange, and mount it on the same position on all kits. It's also hidden from view, lending to a cleaner engine bay.

akthor 06-01-2007 05:57 PM

Do you have the abilty to make piping too? Be cool if you sould offer a whole kit similar to MX5projects.

nester 06-02-2007 11:48 AM

I do, but I'd need a car to build it off of, which i lack.

Lex 06-02-2007 12:07 PM

I run the same cooler - it's a nice unit.

RusMan 06-02-2007 09:50 PM

I'll probably get one from you later, in about a month if you'll still have any.

Who makes them?

nester 06-08-2007 10:58 PM

Bump, I still have 5 of these left!

nester 06-08-2007 11:00 PM

They are made by Yonaka, a company in Canada.

nester 06-13-2007 01:25 AM

I still have 4 of these left, help me re-coup my engine replacement!

;)

Can anyone confirm or deny fitment on a 1.8 NA with A/C? I'd hate to buy one just to have it not fit with the AC. Texas is hot :(

nester 06-13-2007 05:25 PM

If only I had a NA to test fit on.
