thanks

 

i need to fabricate something like this soon

 

It's been a rock solid setup for me. Only had about 4 IC pipe blow offs and it's been because I didn't seat the pipes right after working on the car or I forgot to tighten a clamp.
Plenty of highway miles, street driving, and numerous track events

Paired it with a new Koyo and Taurus E-fan and I run 180~f degrees on the streets and 195-200~f on track

 

i nounted mine there but with the endtanks on the bottom

 

I also installed the factory plastic air ducting with new clips, by the coolant reservoir

 

since the radiator is soo close to the IC, wouldnt the IC be running warm? pulling in warm air?

 

I don't have temps to say yes or no but I'd rather have a bit of radiant heat hitting the IC then blocking all airflow to my radiator.

 

its really not that close to the radiator...

 

Ok, the only reason I'd go for this type of set up it to minimize the volume of air my hybrid has to push through all the piping it currently has. Since it has the piping to all the way to the front bumper. I wanna do it for better throttle and turbo response. Have u guys noticed a big difference in that???

 

So ive been looking around and i think i found a intercooler that might work with this setup. The only problem that i can see is maybe the inlet/outlet pipes might hit the rad since its not angled outwards like the npr one's are. Tell me what you guys think.

Here are the specs for the cxracing intercooler.
- Bar & Plate Aluminum Intercooler
- Core Size: 18"x12"x3.5"
- Overall Size: 24"x12"x3.5"
- 3.5" Thick Core
- 2.5" Backward Inlet & Outlet
Its taller and thicker overall but i think it will fit just like the npr

Here are the specs for the NPR Small intercooler.
24" x 8.5" x 2.25"

r u sure this one is the correct one though? i just contacted him and he gave me measurements of about 27 inches and its about 14.5 inches tall

 

Sure looks like the same one. The other ones are massive and the outlets point somewhere else i think

 

any updates on your set up barkz?

 

oh yeah... I gave up... lol so if someone wants an npr intercooler let me know

I had a hose blow out months ago and that lead to a teardown/build up that was to include this intercooler, but now I just want the damn thing running again so this is on the back burner for now

 

All.you needed was.some sort.of hard coned object to to flare the end of intercoller.pipes. or carefully hammer the ends with a ball pin hammer. No need to weld.

 

what?
