gonna be tough to fit *EVEN more pics!*
 

this is my intercooler core(26x12x3 from james). without endtanks yet. :P i ordered two of these- actually i wanted one of the 22x9x3's but they didn't have any so i am waiting on another one just like this one. i thought it would fit no problem, but i'm going to have to cut out the bar that runs across at the bottom and hang it out low. i really don't want to modify the inside of my bumper. i will probably weld in some square tube across to replace what i cut out of the frame- just move it ahead so there is something there to protect the bottom of the intercooler besides the plastic of the bumper. i'll make it work somehow it is just going to be a pita.

that thing is nuts :D

owned by your own ambition. It will make a great intercooler, just a bitch to get up in there.

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

yeah i know. it weighs a lot more than i thought it would too. 17lbs! i think a tube and fin would have been much lighter.

holly ---- that fuckers huge :o

so what kinds numbers are you lookin to hit with the rex?

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

Worst case you have to cut it down some.

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

the point of bar and plate is that they can be smaller than tube and fin and equal if not more effective

cut it in half and sell the 3 intercoolers ull be left with (3 cuz u said ur getting another core) ;)

Aaron, that Ebay radiator actually looks like it fits well. I think I'm gonna buy one. Any issues with it? (sorry to thread jack)

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

yes, it sits far to high. i had to make custom mounts for it on my hm crossmember. i also had to add a mount on the bottom of the rad so it would clear my rod end on the crossmember...

there will be no cutting of cores! i want to keep it the way it is.

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

so when u cutting the cores :P

everything u make looks so neat and professional
good job man

Re: gonna be tough to fit
 

it is a good idea to cut the core, but i can make it fit, i just have to cut the cross piece at the bottom out and weld something in that extends out about 2 inches to clear the ic.

thanks for the compliment. i take a great deal of pride in the stuff i do and try to carry that over to my products. if someone comes over to my place and they show me their setup and what they want to fix or something, i go over everything and tell them that i can help them out. i want to help people. i just wish i had more time. i'm thinking that perhaps in the next year or so i will be offering services local to help with custom fab work. i'm planning on putting a cnc machine in my garage. ;D
