Come on Todd, give us the details of the material, welds, etc..... ;) Are these made in America? Man, now we definately have to have a dyno test with all the available HMT intercoolers. Nah, I think I care more about construction/durability than 1 hp at 6659 rpm. They look real nice. Good job.

I have one in stock.. I hope to have more on hand shortly.

What would you like to know.. they are all aluminum.. welded by me.. I beleive the cores are made in the usa.. http://www.overblownmotorsports.com/...ler/25x104.JPG

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Do you pressure test them? I plan on running 56psi. ;D Have you tried fitting these on civics/crx's yet? uh, do you pressure test them? What are the stickers on the top? Can you take a pic of inside the hole? I love hole. ;D Thanks

Todd 12-17-2003 11:57 AM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
The cores them selves are pressure tested to 150psi before I get them.. I have not worked out a method of testing them once they are complete.. I normally just cover one end and blow as hard as I can in the other.. if it doesn't leak out its good. Everything is fully welded and the welds are nice.. There isn't anywhere for it to leak.

The stickers came on the core when I got it.

I have not mounted one on a crx yet. Just my integra and an Eclipse. If you look at my site there are more pictures. www.overblownmotorsports.com

damn those look good.

projekteg 12-17-2003 12:17 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
do they come with a plate welded on top of the core like in the pics on the website????

Todd 12-17-2003 12:35 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
No that was one I had tried that on.. it just takes too long and doesn't serve any purpose other than making it look nicer off the car. You don't see that while its in the car. The pictures I posted here are what they will look like. The other pics on the site are some of the first I did and there are pictures that show the core design. Is anyone selling anything for this good of a price?

projekteg 12-17-2003 12:52 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
not that i'm aware of, just that street import place that sells them on egay and they're polished, but i don't know about the quality. i would trust an HMTer before i would trust an egayer. :-\

MikeJ-2009 12-17-2003 12:59 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Hey! I'm an HMT'r and an egay'r. :D Except you guys get a discount. ;)

Todd 12-17-2003 01:05 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Well they are nice.. I run one on my personal car if that means anything to you. I'm just trying to help everyone out. I came across what I thought was a pretty good deal and I figured I could save everyone some money and make a couple bucks using my welder.

hey man, don't sweat it, i'm sure some people will be all over it, hell i might even get one. ask ghetto to make this a sticky, i'm sure you'll sell some. what happened to custom coach anyways?? haven't seen or heard from him in a while ???

B16Drag 12-17-2003 01:12 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Thats actually very NICE intercooler for that price esp! I got one off egay and yes it was $10 more and it was not as high... I think I'm feeling regret at the bottom of my stomach!

Again thats a beauty! =) Forget side mounted intercoolers... get some of TODD's! And no, I dont know TODD... never spoke to him... but when you see a good thing you just gotta vouch for it!

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
cap off the ends and submerge it in water, have a fitting to hook up an airline to one end so you can check for leaks

what kind of cores are these?...extruded?

sticky for a while but not forever, its getting messy at the top

Todd 12-17-2003 02:01 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
They are not extruded.. the inside looks like the outside with lots of cooling fins.. I'm still not clear on if that is tube and fin or bar and plate. I can never get a straight answer and it changes depending who I talk to.

projekteg 12-17-2003 02:04 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
that is tube and fin, bar and plate is the thick ass sqare columns that run horizontally instead of the thinner rounded "tube and fin".

Todd 12-17-2003 02:14 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Ok cool. here is the pic of the inside.. its hard to see the detail in my pic though.. http://www.overblownmotorsports.com/...oler/todd6.JPG

Todd 12-17-2003 02:54 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
I hope to be selling these for a long time. keep my web address. In case I'm not still posting them here you can always get up dates on there.

I remember reading a good article on this, so I dug through about 10 old bookmark files (one for each time I reformat) and found this.

I emailed you, I want the 7" tall one. I got dibs!!

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Its all you man.. I will have more next week then..

miss-piggy 12-18-2003 11:19 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
anyway you can make them a lil shorter for like $200 shipped? like a 5-6" one....if you could that would be delicious....

How does the 7" fit w/ stock bumper support on your integra?

i'm just going to go out on limb here and speak for todd, however, i could be wrong. i'm assuming the length of them is the same length that he receives the core, therefore, cutting off some of the length would actually be wasting money, unless he makes some 3 inch long intercoolers with the little bit that he cuts off the end, the access that was cut off would be wasted (not to mention more work just to cut it)

Todd 12-19-2003 07:45 AM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
actually I get them in a 27" tall core.. then cut them down.. The 7" one is a result of make two tens and a seven. I actually have one that is 12.5" tall on my integra and no bumper support. It works quite nicely. I don't know how well the 7" will work with a bumper support.. Everyone I know either doesn't run one or they trim them to fit if needed. The one I have now is sold I beleive so hopefully it will be mounted soon and I can tell you how they fit.

projekteg 12-19-2003 08:03 AM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
yeah, i figured that, i thought he was talking about making the length shorter not the height :-X

miss-piggy 12-19-2003 01:16 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
no, i wanted the height to be between 5-6 inches so i dont have to hack at my bumper support.

I was just trying to figure out a way to save money. i wanna buy a FMIC for like $175-200shipped and if makes it short, he uses less material and i get it for my asking price. :P

Todd 12-19-2003 02:53 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Well if you really wanted one shorter I could do that. Depending how I cut the core the intercoolers will be either right about 7" or around 6.75" Will that not fit under your bumper cover?

miss-piggy 12-19-2003 07:10 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
I dont know if it will fit....im just cheap. what can i say?

Semnos 12-19-2003 07:30 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Hey Todd ...If Bigwig and I ordered a 5 inch intercooler from you..you can chop a 10 inch core in half..that way it would be cheaper for us and you won't have a wasted 5 inch core ;). I don't know how much for the end tanks...but what do you think about 150 shipped in the states for that and $180 to the Netherlands...for me ;) let me know....

thermal 12-19-2003 10:23 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
I cant wait to get mine. Ordered mine from an H-T link. I emailed 3 people that I know looking for an FMIC. I hope they buy yours. These are great deals!!!

Todd 12-20-2003 05:14 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Yeah guys I have been getting nailed with people interested.. Thanks to everyone ------ing the word. For you guys wanting 5".. Your gonna be saving $20 worth of core. So unless your worried about fitment is gonna be much easier for me to just keep a standard size.

I'm figuring in $25 dollars of shipping in my cost. If you guys from Canada or anywhere else want one no problem we will just settle up on the shipping then.

thermal 12-20-2003 07:48 PM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
I just talked to one guy about these intercooler. he said that liked the 30x7. he should contact you within a week or so. Todd, did you get my PM from H-T?

bambooseven 12-21-2003 03:57 AM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
are the inlet and outlet tubes on the end tanks as pictured? they look a little short and don't have a bead at the end like most.

also, if you don't mind my asking, who makes the core? there are a few companies out there right now who do and a couple of those I've heard good things about, others i've heard horrible things about.

PinoyB18A 12-23-2003 01:16 AM

Re:New front mount intercoolers for $225 shipped
 
Hey Todd. If there's a group buy, I need one to fit my 90 CRX HF. I need just the $225 intercooler. I'll have a ton of money in March. I just wanna know when the next group buy will take place...
