GB: intercoolers?
 
I'm guaging interest in a group buy on intercoolers, or possibly just doing a small run on them.

The college I goto has a full machine/welding shop that I have access to and I just recently met a friend that can weld like a wizard.

If enough people reply to this I'll probably make a run of about 10 and sell them for $100+ shipping.

So here's the question, what dimension should I shoot for?
I can get those volvo intercoolers for hella cheap but the core would only be like 1.25 inches thick and about 15 inches long, this seems a little small though...

Let me know what's up guys.

make them the size of johhny racecars, maybe dual core or something using those volvos, like chop em in half and put em back to back and weld tops and end tnaks onto them

would that work? the resulting depth would be 2.5 inches and I'm not sure if that will fit the bumper or not...
I'm just looking to make a "universal" size for honda applications but if 2.5X17/18 sounds right then cool beans.

alright how about this? I get the volvo intercoolers hacked to the right size and instead of paying my "friend" to weld up the endtanks I jebweld the fucker on and charger 50+ shipping so long as they're air tight. I think I could pull that off with ease....man i'm drunk
