At the limits of pump gas, the radiator will be just fine.
Well ...I was lied to by the seller. I guess I'll be upgrading to the three core. Do you have pictures of yours you just sold?
You see my pump gas tune .
Wait until the heat of summer kicks in , in traffic , and if you have the A/C !
Trust me you will see ! That blower makes a tremendous amount of heat .
Time will tell. I'd hate to think what I have to do with the kit to shove a bigger radiator i there. :lol:
I have plenty of pics..
4 fans . 2 push and 2 pull . It will fit , with a little finesse and imagination .
I see its mounted to the fiberglass/plastic grille piece? Is it mounted on the bottom or just hanging from that piece?
I bought my kit new with the d1..but I have no idea what front mount I have lol..hope its a 3 core
Neither . We removed the front rectangle metal frame and installed a tubular 1.25 frame for the intercooler . Also mounted a aluminum mounting frame for the radiator . Ill have to take some close-ups .
make a thread full of pics and vids of ur car too
The one that came with the D1SC "HO" kit. It's a two core. That's why I got rid of it.
I replaced it with this:
And this is how it looks on my car. It's huge! SORRY I only have camera phone right now, car eats thousand dollar bills!!

Yeah, that'd be mine. :bash: I guess I'll be making a call to House of Boost today. :rockon: I'd like to have it installed before my dyno session. Thanks for the heads up! Yours is HUGE by the way. That is the 3-core race intercooler right? Did it come with all the mounting hardware? Was it easy to mount, or did custom brackets have to be made?
damn the new set up looks badass. congrats i bet you cant wait to hit the dyno
Yes this is the 3-core sheetmetal race intercooler w/ 3.5" inlet/outlet diameter.
There is no mounting hardware really. Just some tabs on the tank. Which were for a fox body (the blue car in the pic it came off of).
It would have been a pain in the ass to mount even if I had the correct tabs! I had to cut off the old tabs and have some new ones welded on. The shop that welded the new stuff on didn't use the material I brought them because, "they know better" :bash: and used some gigantic 1/2" thick crap which I had to grind down and I couldn't even use the top mount!
I had to grind some parts of the radiator support down to fit it up higher. I don't like it hanging down where it can scrape like some people do (usually the small 2-cores because they want people to see it..)
I had to beat the corners of the radiator support in order to get the couplers to fit around that bend.
That's all I can remeber about it right now. It's $1200 from procharger, unless they dropped the price, so I wouldn't suggest it unless you find a used one!:thumbsup:
I just got off the phone with them and its still that price. No thanks. I called up Treadstone and ordered their TR12, 4.5" thick intercooler for $315.
TR12 Intercooler - TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE
...guess its going back on jackstands and bumper is coming BACK off. :lol:
I've been looking for intercoolers to replace my procharger unit. I was looking at that exact treadstone unit. Interested to see how it works for you.
that thing looks ill im going to give it a shot once i get my car painted
4.5" thick? Sure that will fit in between the bumper and radiator support? I think the procharger one I have is only 3" thick and it's sandwiched in there. I don't think there's any more room width wise unless of course you're gonna cut up the bumper..?

If it is, I'll return it and get a smaller one. No big deal.
Very nice!
