Actually yours is smaller... This will be the largest, most efficient intercooler on the market, so we say...

 

[Bliss Racing]

So what you think about doing business ?!?!? You put any thought into it??

 

[xierxior]

wow is there even a pulley small enough to ultilize this thing to the fullest extent?

 

[syP]

Can you give out a price yet?

I would think that it'd be great to offer the core itself to those that want to upgrade. Even better if you could offer a core exchange program, then open a section of your store to re-sell the exchanges. I'd understand if you couldn't do this, but it would be great for the community as a whole...maybe an introductory offer?

The difference between the sandwiches is enough that an interchange wouldn't be possible. All the two sandwiches share is the 1.91" thickness.

Can you give out a price yet?

We're looking at a target price of $1299 for a full kit.

how will you fit this under a stock hood?

[TonzKnock-G]

I can't speak for everyone, but with the amount of work involved, and the fabrication you need to do, prolly about $200-300 for a club member to do it. If you had a shop do it, it would be very expensive. IC's arent a plug and play kind of thing. It's a full weekend project really. It has to be one of the very best mods to have though!

looks like Mike Dye was right all along..... h34r:

EDIT...Brian knows...

Guessing the core will stick into the intake manifold.

What exactly does that do for airflow??? Since the fins will be pushing the air one way while it wants to go another??

Ahh, I was just curious. B)

You guys got me...

Really it's a non-issue. I looked at several other intake designs from cars that are equipped with intercoolers stock. Mainly we wanted to make sure that there was enough "plenum" area to maintain even distribution to the cylinders.

At the end of the day we're going to be forced to test the A/F exiting from each cylinder. This will make for an interesting looking set of headers.
