Just Got My Intercooler

Woot Woot!!!

Straight from the land of OZ.

Pictures don't do it justice. Specs are 23 X 20 X 3. Anyways, if I ever get moving on PROJECT DUECE, I will take more pics.

Thanks, now if I can just get my *** moving, I will get going on this project. And, if my car even comes out half as nice as yours, I will be happy.

Holy **** dave, where did you get that sucker from? And how much did it run you?

Makes my 23X12X3 IC looks so tiny!

Maybe I'll grab something like this when I get my GT40R

Australia.

Actually, the price was pretty reasonable. Although, the shipping sucked.

I love you man!



How much are you going to have to cut off the front end to fit that big beauty behind the grill? When you get ready to mount it take some pics, i am curious to see how you will do it.

There is tubular bar that sits right below the radiator in stock configuration. This has to be cut out and moved forward. Also, the IC is set up so that the piping runs from the bottom of the car. You drill out 2 holes in the wheel wells for the piping to get into the engine bay. However, I am going to try and mount it with the piping on top, which may require some cutting right above the light housings.

Anyways, as soon as I get going I post up a thread on the install.

Do you think that tube adds enough support that you have to move it instead of removing it? I cut mine and left it off. Besides the radiator, oil cooler, and heat exchanger should stiffen things up. lol

It actually add's zero structural support. I can't even tell why it is there, lol. I think it may help keep the valance, and fenders straight, who knows. But, I will feel better if it is on there. If it isn't i would not worry about it.

So you gotta cut that bar out huh....sound's iffy but if it's not structural support, then I guess it wouldn't hurt.

What size turbo will you be running with it?
