Anything can be made to work. Looks a little on the small side, but it really is impossible to tell in the pictures. Take some measurements and go from there......
Sorry for the crappy pics.
So I know it is small compared to most, but it is huge compared to stock.
It is off a hyndai genesis. I only ask because I couldn't beat the price.
I am new to pretty much everything so I am sure it will be a learning experience.
The stock intercooler is HORRIBLE. I'd argue that almost anythign that isn't stock is an improvment. That particular intercooler looks like it would be a VAST improvement over stock.
At my old job, we had an intercooler that looked like that but was universal and probably flows better. I've seen Galants flip them around and run them end tank side up, instead of down, and they bolt on almost perfect. Infact, a buddy of mine runs the type 1 or 2 which is the same length, different height.
I really had the same thought. I mean it couldn't be any worse right. eventually we will spend the money for the proper upgrade. To be honest it probably will be a year before I get to that point. I have been putting off my engine rebuild for some time now. Finally got around to ordering some parts. God bless the tax refund. Also I gotta say paul @ jnztuning.com very pleasant and helpfull. But still have to pick piston and rod combo, head gasket, and maybe just a few little odds and ends. Hopefully in two or three months I will be ready to start putting it all back together. Kinda been awhile since I took it all apart. Should be interesting.
I would also like to say thanks to everyone on this site. When I bought this car I had no clue. Thanks to all the good info and experience here I have learned alot and have a basic idea of what I am trying to do. You guys all rock.
This is my first turbo, first all wheel drive car. I drove it maybe a dozen times. Decided I wanted to rebuild everything I can to help return her to her full glory. As usual in life things happen and the project has been delayed several times. By the time I get around to the intercooler. I will probably not even use this one.
Who know's anything can happen right.
The stock one is what really chokes our cars. I upgraded to a evo 9 fmic but I only modified the stock plumbing to make it work. So essentially, I did have a more efficient fmic but I was still choking it with the plumbing. If you can get some good even size pipes, you'll be alright and the it will work well.
