Default What do you think about those ford powerstroke ic's?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6770

do you guys think it's worth it?

P.S - The reason I'm looking at this ic is because I've been searching for a huge ic that cover the front hole of the ww rs kit (on crx that is). I don't like the idea of showing my pipping and this ic pretty much cover the front mouth. The thickness is only 2" but it should fit fine since it's ef's we're talking about. My only concern is if they can get rid of the heat as fast since my crx is my daily driver.

pics arent loading but every powerstroke core i have seen is quite skinny. like 1" and thats not so good for our cars. you could cut it into 3 pieces and sandwich them all toghther and have a GTR size core. can be done.

well, the dimension is 30" X 18" X 2". Supposely 2" thick.



As you can see..the front mouth is huge and most of the turbo crx's with ww kit looks funny with starion ic (being able to see like the frame and all). I should go do a measurement and see what the front mouth is like.

P.S - Stupid me, I just measure the front mouth. It should be 30 X 7. 18 length is a bit long Anybody here can reweld this baby to make it 7 instead of 18?

You would have to cut the core support in half to get that thing to fit in their.. just because you have a big mouth doesnt mean it will fit.
