Default look at my intercooler 56k warning

it is a garrett intercooler, the core measures 3" thick, 18.5" tall, and 26" long. it is bar and plate material.

and here are some new pictures, i cut it down to 10 inches tall, cleaned the crap out of it, and still have a bunch of aluminum shavings on the inside of it that i have to clean out. i dont have a tig so i cannot re weld it up, instead i have a friend who is gonna pic it up tomarrow and weld it up for me, he will have it done by tuesday hopefully.
i am about to take the aluminum polish and buffing wheel to it so i can get it to look kinda like crome. then i will put my awsome bmc racing stencil over it and paint our logo on it.


look at that beautiful bar and plate setup, but also look how the aluminum shavings help to show it off i got to go clean that all out of it now. well later guys.

it is going on a b18c1 engine that will be fully built for 550 whp street. so yes i think i need it that big and 2ndly, if it adds lag we can just call it "traction control" .
