Re:Junkyard Intercoolers (What cars to look for?)
oh man there are lots of cars.....
mistibishi eclipses and STARIONS (the best stock fmic in my o2, not counting the new srt and evo 8 ic's)
some volvos have a fmic that is black and is about the same size as the starion but it has plastic black endtanks, should work for hmt though
look for any newly destroyed evo 8's and srt-4's to take those bad *** intercoolers off
grand nationals have fmic's also if you can find em...they are big but no where as big as some of those powerstroke diesel's
find all the turbo cars you can and take off all the turbos, intercoolers, bov's, injectors, and charge piping!! all this will make great hmt projects!!!

The GN IC is pretty good, about like a strion, but the volvo IC with plastic end tanks is a lot bigger than a starion, but its so thin, that is it pointless to make it fit ( which is just about impossible without hacking the entire front end... ).

? the ic off the volvo with the plastic endtanks?? i dont think so....the volvo ic is thicker than a starion and i think about the same length or just a hair shorter.

either way....for a stock intercooler and the money, you cant beat the starion fmic!! its just great!! its almost like an aftermarket front mount but for hundreds less!! but for $250 you cant beat a custom coach ic either!

before I bought my cc intercooler I was thinking about renting a new CDI benz, and steal the intercooler, and put a pipe in place of it. I wonder how long will it took for them to find out, since the car rentals only check for clean, and dents.

Well I went to a junkyard today and the had a Turbo MX-6 there with the turbo and IC still on...when I asked what they wanted for these peices they said $200 for the turbo and $45 for the IC. You guys think thats a decent price for the IC off that car?
