Intercooler

[DeathBy240SX]

So I am gonna be stuck with the stock IC until I can afford to do a FMIC. I hear everyone calling them "heat sinks" and I cant imagine they get much air. If I was to make a scoop of some kind do you think it would be benificial at all? I know it sounds ricey but it wouldnt be anything too big, just to get some air flow to the IC. Is it a good idea or should I just leave it until I can afford a FMIC???

A scoop like on a Z31?Anyone?

[chezina]

To cool down the stock IC you either need to mount a huge blower in front of it or just tear off the driver side fender.

I don't think the work is worth it, just try to find a better cooler.

[Guffed]

just front mount it...it might look gay, but you cant even really see it on the stock 240 bumper which im assuming you have.

[DeathBy240SX]

Ahhh, I was picturing it on top much like how the Z31 IC or STi was placed. Whoops. Thanks guys.

[andrave]

what size is the stock IC?

[r34 gtr]

about the size of a sheet of paper...i think. i might be a little bit generous saying that. it has about the same cooling effectiveness too. of course its much thicker than a sheet of paper, but you get the idea.

Z31's here never came with intercoolers.

The hood scoop is to help take heat away from the turbo itself.

But anyway, im running the crappy sidemount. The same crappy sidemount that helped my blow my headgasket when I ran 17 psi on it.

Just stick to 12 psi and under and you will be fine.

[Temjin]

Trppen37 you are the second person to respond. Im waiting to see if the first person is serious or not.

i would like a shot at that intercooler also

if you need a sidemount intercooler for now, try a DSM. Folks have taken 3200lb cars into the lo 12s on em (with outlets enlarged).not bad for $100 pc

[r34 gtr]

really though, i dont need it either. ive got a friend down the road with one he will sell me for 25 bucks more, and he has already gotten new end tanks welded on and new mounting flanges to make it go on much easier. ive already told him ill buy it so i dont need that one. good luck to you guys that do though!

I can get you an eclipse IC in perfect condition for 50 bucks if you are interested, my brother just replaced his with a starion unit.

i owned a dsm.. the stock smic's are garbage. most people use a supra smic or a saab intercooler.
