Just bought a spearco race intercooler for 350
did i get a good deal?
I am planning on cutting out my bumper support and using it in my crx.
It is made for a 2g dsm.
My question is, "will it be efficient since not all of it will be open to the air dam"

It looks like a pretty crappy design. Especially that 90 degree bend on the inlet.

Cut off that 90 degree outlet. Weld up that hole. Then weld an opening on the side of the endtank. It'll be easier to work on your IC plumbing from there.

Thats not good...Should have been a straight tube in place of the 90degree...
Looks to boxy.
Should have been polished for 350.00..

Re: Just bought a spearco race intercooler for 350 (T3)
OK i'll get the endtanks cleaned up at a radiator shop here....
it looks like the core itself cost 450 from spearco...
Still think i got a bad deal?

Common ladies where's the love (18 views) no replies.... 
that core looks alright but you will want to get that 90 degree bend out of there and make it exactly like the other side.
most machine shops will be able to do it for you or a good tig welder, don't trust just anybody or you will be sorry.

Re: Just bought a spearco race intercooler for 350 (rpm9100)
LOL
I meant to say 'come on'
Stupid internet slang
on me
OH BTW my compressor housing is on the passenger side along with the throttle body. Thats another reason why i liked the IC.
But I agree the 90 bend isnt nice.
I didnt notice any respone regarding the height of the IC. I think only about half of it will be exposed to the air dam.
