Intercooler core leaking

[b4black]

Ugh. It's only two years old.

Engine started idleing crappy, & IC coolant started disappearing slowly. I put a vacuum gauge on the IC lines and after a few minutes, it pulled 5"Hg.

The core was already sealed in the aluminum block when I bought it. Are the top half and bottom half just sealed with RTV, or is there a gasket? I heard the core is just a heater core from a Ford and I can get it from Autozone. Anybody know exactly which model & year? This is the full size IC.

Isn't it for a probe or something lame? I replaced mine once iirc back when I was supercharged

I have a spare core that I was keeping. It's new, wrapped in a box and in storage. Let me know if you are interested and I'll get some pics.

EDIT: I didn't know they would be so cheap on ebay.

Spectra Premium Industries Inc 93046 Heater Core | eBay

Excellent! Thanks

Autozone stocks the same brand & part number for about the same money ($47 + tax). Says it has a lifetime warrenty.

I swear wbs uses the same core so why does the zzp website say "their competitors" unless they're referring to an intense but I don't think anyone uses probe cores anymore....

There are two cores listed for the Probe. 94777 is listed just for the Probe and as "available until stock is depleted". 93046 is listed for many different Ford/Mazda applications.

Spectra website "94777 Superseded part number; sell out and reorder 93046". Maybe this is the differance between ZZP and the competition. New and old design.
