Re: (racinskittle)
I'm running the starion intercooler with new endtanks and 2.25" pipes in/out.
I'd say it works for low boost. Anything more than 1 bar and you want something else. the minus about it is that it doesn't have internal fins, so it won't cool the air as well.

i have a starion..can't beat free 
but i set it side by side with the viggen when i was helping to instal Dave BLundy's engine...and i can safley say the starion OWNZ the viggen.
but the viggen is still a good piece.
and i have polished endtanks..thank god my friend Matt got bored...or i'd have had to be the ricer and do it

Re: about starion intercoolers (gdrum)
i just recently put a starion ic on mine and I dont have any problems with it. Although Im not running any big boost numbers. (Just stock settings) It suits me good. Its cheap and it gets the job done.

Re: about starion intercoolers (jz)
I'm running a new SAAB vigen IC. All i needed to mout it was cut 2 small semicircles out of the edge of the rad support. fits nice with stock bumper reinforcement too. i got it for under 120 from a friend at a saab garage.
mine is not rigged like the one up top either. I just moved the radiatior 1" to the drivers side and used the 90 degree outlet/inlet. nice short charge pipes! it's a pretty big core for a sohc turbo. works for me
you can see it in this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=635039

Looks good man! I had to put different endtanks on though... The EM1's chassis is a little different, and wouldn't work... Not to mention i'm keeping my a/c, so i couldn't move the radiator... ****... if i didnt have a/c, i would have gone backdoor with it REAL QUICK... LOL

well...one of my starions might be for sale soon...not sure though.
it's going to be the ugly one. a friend learned to weld on it. it has 2.5" in and out...and the welds are complete...just ugly as ****. and the two factory ports haven't been covred up yet. but it's in great shape fin wise...with a small dent on the bottom.
i have a rev hard intercooler i'm getting for free next week

suprisingly only 450's. looking at my settings one would think i was on crack having the hi throttle settings at -50, but the wideband doesn't lie. 11k miles boosted too. i think it has something with the way the hi throttle fuel tables in the ecu are on the dx. not sure exactly though. getting an egt gauge as soon as i can.
