Chris Wilson Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 My 4 all alloy SMIC's have finally arrived here in stock. 2 people have deposits on them, I need one for a job, so 1 is available for sale. See below. Is your intercooler falling apart, the fins corroded off the tubes? If so, its efficiency will be extremely degraded. Running more boost than stock? Is this a good idea? NO! It's not even a good idea running STOCK boost with an I/C like that, and when the weather struggles above freezing it will be a VERY BAD idea! Don't want to spend over 1400 quid on a new quality front mount intercooler, only to have half of it masked by the aperture in the front stock bumper being too small to allow air through all the core? Even with a new aftermarket bumper that probably fits where it touches, (from what I have seen of most Jap products), the air will just take the easy route AROUND the expensive FMIC, rather than through it, because no ducting provision is made. The answer is my uprated, all aluminium stock mount intercooler. It uses all original mountings, and the original factory sealed ducting. It uses a state of the art core with fine pitched finning, on modern tubes with internal turbulators. The core uses 10% more tubes than the stock unit, too. The quality of its construction is superb, and all are fully leak tested under pressure before despatch. Pressure drop, both internally through the core, and aerodynamically, are less than the stock cores, making for a very efficient unit. Pics of the intercooler are now available at: http://www.formula3.freeserve.co.uk/intercooler/intercooler.zip or http://www.formula3.freeserve.co.uk/intercooler/intercooler.html They will sell for 610 pounds, there is no VAT to pay. Postage and packing to UK mainland addresses is 12.50, the package is bulky due to their fragile nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
