Hi guys,

I wanted to get some thoughts about the Johnny race car intercooler.

http://www.johnnyracecar.com/8prod.htm

What do you guys think about the square end tanks?

as compared to this:

The johnny racecare cooler is 2 inches wider and one inch higher.

Ebay intercooler ad description:

"max recommended pressure: 12 psi"

LOL

For a 20.25 x 6.5 x 2.25" core, that's pretty damn low. But hey, what do you expect for $68 off of ebay...

Go with the johnny race car....tried and true

Agreed. JRC is the way to go. Stay away from that ebay crap. Pretty much the only good things from ebay are manifolds, some wastegates and p0rn....oops...I mean....pipes?

$70 for the Ebay IC sounds kinda fishy.

And I'd pay the extra $30 ($215 vs $185) for the better end tanks from JRC.

You will notice the (relative) lack of internal fins on the Ebay unit, this is why you are only paying 70 bux for it. It is crap, the SSAC unit is better, but also more expensive. Doesn't seem to be a bad unit. But when what is on ebay is cheaper than SSAC, you should consider yourself on notice.
