im getting a turbo in my accord with hh2 swap,and my question was will any intercooler work with my set up,i was looking at the precision 600hp intercooler and was wondering if it is gona work i measured everything and all i have to do is cut the bumper a little bit,intercooler piping im have it custom fabricated so i was wondering if i can order that intercooler?

if it matters i got a gt3071r turbo with the full-race top mount manifold.thanx

 

If it fits and you can mount it, it will work. Generally speaking the bigger the IC the better.

Custom work can be expensive for the tubing. Have you priced that out yet? It woudl most likely be cheaper to get a kit. A friend of mine does custom work and charges 40/hr (cheap compared to a shop). IC with stainless tubes ~1600-2000. At a shop ~$4k depending on material used (alum/stainless)

 

4 grand just for the intercooler piping what are we talking about here 14kt gold or aluminum 2.5 inch pipes? the shop around here charges about 400- 600 dollars to fabricate it for me.

 

^^holy ****, ic piping itself should cost no more than 200 for stainless, if that, save yourself some money and do it yourself

2.5" stainless and not using those sillycone connectors with hose clamps, but welded together. Including mounting the IC and turbo inlet pipes.

you might need 2 intercoolers to make a dowm payment in hawaii

 

Now you can get an intercooler that it TOO big....if your not pushing very much psi and you have a huge front mount your not going to make as much power as you would a smaller one (reason: significant drop in boost pressure b/c you have low air trying to fill up that hugh front mount) but if your pushing arround 15 or more lbs....then go big.

Thats the thing. Most people who take their brand new GT3 to be race prepped by a shop already own lots of property and want to make racing their hobby. You should see some of their shop bills. $2k just buys an alternator for a GT3.

4-600 and thats a kit with silicone connectors and hose clamps , not really custom fabrication.

 

my intercooler piping cost me $45,000. its made out of cast iron though so it makes sense that it costs so much.

 

Jesus Christ r u serious ??? What in the expletive do you need an intercooler that big for in your ride??? Unless you are planning on at least 500 HP- Good luck gettin it in your accord unless you plan on not running the bumper brace, or a majoriy of the bumper for that matter.... RICE??? Okay a bit harsh-

Seiously

Im running a 28"x7"x3" and the thing stays cold on the side its supposed to be, 278 HP @ 10 psi in an 94 accord ex. CLEAN INSTALL too, with front brace, and stock bumper skin (had to trim out the rear of the skin and the lip th0) BUT it looks like it came this way.

Let me know if yer interested in which one, i can hook you up with a link.
Supports 350 hp.
SEARCH; READ; LEARN... ACT ACOORDINGLY- NExt....

 

Oh ya, Use aluminum tubes too... helps diperse heat. you can get 2mm thick polished tubes in the diameter of your chooice on ebay-120 shipped- I do like to do **** myself, so me and a buddy mocked up the pipes, put marks on em and had them tigged together...They fit perfect. Take your time save some $$$!!!! They really are NICE, I used them- ya get:

2 45 deg bends
2 70s
2 90s and 2 straight
14 " long each

Very nice ****!!!

I went with 2.5 "

Good luck, the accord is pretty easy to fab pipes for too!!!

you aint know! if your ic pipes dont cost $4000 you aint ****!
my ic pipes are all perfectly welded together by me using a flux mig the welds grided down and painted black looks perfect. cost me $65 in summit material, imagine if get it off ebay?
plus if you dont know how to weld you can mark it and take it to a shop. you have too much money, give me some please

 

I didnt say I paid that

 

ya man dont... even 2 is ricdiculous....

 

im getting the 600 hp intercooler because im planning on running 380-400whp on it and on race gas anywhere around 450-480whp,and im leaving room for future upgrades.thanks for the help with the piping.

Damn $2k now? the deal is gettign sweeter. Ill take 2 sets

 

what im sayin is 4gs will get ya a sleeved h22 with good internals (which you are gonna need for those #'s) DO NOT TRY IT ON A STOCK BLOCK....or,......KBOOM!!! but im sure you know that cause youve searched and read....right???

Tryin to help out, not flame...

Enough people on here do that already and forget how it is not to know, but want to....

 

k, so I post an outrageous price for custom work. But honestly thats what http://www.3r-racing.com wanted for it on a car (not a honda) that doesn't have a kit available. 2k

of course they make speed challenge cars and various other kick A$$ projects.

But If someone posts about a remote mount turbo they get no flammage. Thats honda-tech for you.

I could buy 2 pipe bending machines, if you want to give me $4,000 go ahead, ill take your money bend and weld ur pipes and have a good laugh spending your money. CROOKS

 

DO NOT get the 2000$ IC Pipes. THey are a ripoff of SSAC (AKA SSASHIT!) and will break in half for no reason.


U have been warne.d

 

Ebay also has a 5th gen accord setup fopr 350...... i thought that was too steep, so I did my own, but ya may wanna look, at least youd have a start. I could even see 500-600 for a IC pipe set (new) but ****, at least you asked here and havent gotten fucked (yet).

I used these and they worked SWEET, and looked really nice!! (2mm thick tubess, polished mirror bright!!! Not only do they look good, but the help to dissapate heat as well. Make sure to ditch the clamps they come with and get some t bolts (dont pay over 3.00 a piece either)
