Upgrading Intercooler for SE

Postby zmobie » Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:51 am

Hey guys,

I am upgrading my intercooler in the coming weeks, however was just wondering what size cooler fits with minimum hassle.
I know many people are running ebay jobs, however im looking at something of a better quality.

Mainly im interested in the dimensions of coolers u guys are running, fabricating some brackets shouldnt be a problem.

You might have already read this, but the $130 ebay ones are apparently made by Cooling Pro:

I was just thinking of doing this as well as I have heat soak issues in the standard intercooler at trackdays.

I will probably go with the cooling pro from just jap though, as people seem to approve them.

Currently they are doing them for $150 posted on ebay for the 550x140x65 one. (never seen em for $130 where and when???)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Cooling-Pro-550x ... 564356ea7b

Is it better to have the 550x140x65 one or the 550x180x65 one? Only over mods I have is Exhaust and begi throttle body intake. No further planned.

Also what size ruducers do you need for the stock pipes, 2'-2.5' or 2.25'-2.5'?
