intercooler
I want a new intercooler instead of the stock.
The stock core size is 19" x 11.5" x 2.75"
Overall dimensions are:
24.5"x11.5"x2.75"
The one intercooler I found on ebay is:
Bar and plate core is 12.4" tall X 20" wide X 28 and 3.75 " thick
With over 1200 cfm flow at 1 psi pressure loss
What do you guys look for, in an intercooler?
Any ideas?
Easiness of installation?

Also, when you do eventually get an FMIC, don't buy it off Ebay. Get a proven one with proven performance gains: Buschur Race FMIC, Nisei, or AMS.

I don'y have any numbers to share so please forgive me, but you guys should check out the RnR Race FMIC.
It uses a Garrett 24x12x4 Bar and Plate core rated to support 1000 HP and I'm amazed by how cold the outlet pipe is after spirited driving. The price was lower than any offering from BR, AMS or Nisei.

You don't need a new intercooler unless you already have TBE, tune, cams, etc.

Do you know this first hand or are you just repeating hearsay? David Buschur has seen gains in excess of 14whp by adding his race/deluxe IC on a car with BPU. Depending on what mods he already has an IC could be a worthwhile mod.
