How are SSAUTOCHROME INTERCOOLERS?????
I am looking into getting their kit for my d-series turbo project because it is cheap and comes with everything needed.
I know that they make **** turbos and manifolds, but has anyone had experience with their intercoolers?
Let me know please

Re: How are SSAUTOCHROME INTERCOOLERS????? (civic-rmod)
I've seen a bunch of these threads here already on the intercoolers...really mixed reviews. The thing is turbos need to built well because they rotate so fast. Manifolds carry a lot of heat and movement stress, but intercoolers don't really have a lot of stress put on them. They just need to flow well, which these aren't the best, but will do the job for cheap. Take it like that since many people don't have enough time with them to actually test em'

Re: How are SSAUTOCHROME INTERCOOLERS????? (adseguy)
if i were you id spend the money on somehting more reliable and well-built. ive read countless threads about their lack of fab skills. the manifold break really quick and the turbos have been know to split at the seam of the compressor housing. its just my .02 but i wouldnt buy one.
i just bought a really nice bar and plate intercooler for like 280 shipped. great construction and really strong/clean welds. i can send you the link to one if you want. let me know.

If you take the time to read it all (more knowledge) you will see all the problems this intercooler has......not too bad, but still there is better out there it is your choice. Like I said it will work and probably won't break, but if you want cheap and good my option goes for Johnnyracecar.com

hmmm....have you done business with them?
If so what have they done that is so bad... I have heard nothing, but good from there service (seriously). I doubt you actually did do business with them so you are just ranting on the bandwagon. I'm not saying I would buy a turbo or manifold from them, but don't say they suck when you don't have experience.
I'm getting off topic on this (my bad), but look around at other places and know what your cars HP goals along with budget those are the 2 factors that matter in choosing an intercooler! GL

I had massive misfires so i had to test it out and see which cylinder it was. So i decided to run the car. At cruising the AIT was 75. at 10 psi my AIT was 81-82. So i see like a 6-7 degree increase in air temp at 10 pounds. Seems like it works well to me!! If anyone wants the autotap file to look at it I can email it to you. Just wanted to share some numbers

No benefit..it mainly used on hatchback so they don't have to cut the bumper. It just means the input hose is facing the rear of the car instead of the front

damn big guy look at you saying that the ssautocrome products are good when clearly you have had no expearince with them. why event post this bull **** trying to bag on me and then you make your little coment stateing you hurd nothing but good things abought'em. Well you dont know **** kid. And ya I was running a ssautocrome manifold that cracked with in the first 2 weeks of use then later having the wastgate crack completly off going 80 on the freeway. It was a big bummer costing me the 200$ wastgate and the 300$ I spent on the manifold/downpipe. So all in all I have to say to anyone looking into these products stayaway

Re: How are SSAUTOCHROME INTERCOOLERS????? (DumpeDc2)
woaahhhh....wait a second.......I said there SERVICE was good NOT the products. I have seen people return bad turbos and get brand new ones...maybe they will work maybe they won't. That sucks that your manifold didn't work! I doubt it should have. but don't bash just to bash state what happened like you did BTW which has nothing to do with an intercooler 
. The intercoolers work, maybe not efficient, but an intercooler is not stressed like I stated.
