hey guys, just today i went to go buy an intercooler off a drag kit from my friend but when i showerd up with cash in hand he had already sold it, and i just noticed the group buy for the CCA intercoolers

can anyone tell me anythign about these how good are they compared to the drag ic

if you guys could do a quick comparison between the cca and other similarly priced IC's that would be awesome, allthough im already thinking that for the price it may just be unbeatable..

also, for a 5th gen hatch, should i have center or bottom inlets/outlets, and top or bottom mounting brackets?

Centered end talks for your car.

CCA intercoolers use Tube and fin cores. Bar and plate are more efficient, but heavier. Extrude is less efficient, but cheaper. For the price, you can't go wrong. Cheap and effective. What more do you want?

Custom Coach makes some pretty good intercoolers, We have one on my girlfriends car, Quality is definatly there, and mounting the intercooler is pretty easy. Most everyone on HMT uses either a CustomCoach IC, Johnny Racecar, or a modified starion.

The new style Johnnyracecar IC looks really nice,

212 shipped. I have one sitting on my fireplace mantle. hahah,

Did he start using a different core?


I thought he was using Extrude "PowerStroke" cores?

hmmmmm.... ok then .... lets hear a vote.....

the 6" CCA intercooler for 200 shipped
or
the johny racecar 8" for 212 shipped

what do you guys think is the better bang for the buck?

HMT-Admin

Yup on his new IC's he is using a different core than before. Its a bit thicker too. Whitey has one on his car, they are a little awkward to mount on a EF.

My votes going to be a little biased,

you guess...

girlfriends car gets cca, my car gets jrc =)

Yup, I'm running a JRC and I was really impressed at the quality. I bought it back when it was $195 Its a great intercooler. I love the top and bottom plates, I think intercoolers look like ---- without them.


Jeff said it himself, CCA are for girls and JRC are for the men :P J/K the CCA seems to be good also


Here's the only pic I have of it since newbieforces ate the other ones




Custom mount cause it is a bitch to fit on an EF

i must say, the jrc looks very impressive as well....

but as of right now im going to be running a d15b7 with a 14b.... you dont think this intercooler is too large for me do you is it going to cause alot of lag??

also what size charge piping would you recomend 2.5 would be nice but im thinking id get a heck of alot of lag at that point ...

how come i dont see that new 8" on his web page

anyway, im guessing most people prefer the jrc ic over the cca then .... hmmmmm

92hatchattack

oh, and am i going to have fitment issues in my 5th gen civic

i really like it, it looks god, and if you guys say its good ---- then i belive it, cause i havent been steered wrong here....

im just afraid of it being too big for my setup
