Default Vecco 36" intercoolers?

This seems like a decent price. $230 shipped to Canada! Has anyone used one of these intercoolers? Im looking to make around 400whp, currntly at about 340 so its time to upgrade.

Ya they "look" good but Im wondering if they actually flow 600+ cfm as they advertise. Can they even give false statements or is it actually true. Id like to talk to someone who has used this...

im not the best at math but why doesnt the core size and end tank sizes add up

Bar and plate design - 35% More Efficient
Overall Dimensions 36.00" x 10.50" x 3.50"
Core Size 10.5" X 26" X 3.5"
3.00" Inlet / 3.00" Outlet (We also have these intercooler with 2.50" inlets/outlets)
2-year warranty
669HP / 1000cfms 850HP MAX

Adds up to me. The core is 26" wide and from end tank to end tank its 36" wide. The end tanks are 5" on each side adding to 10" which is the difference of 26" and 36".

i have been running a treadstone for a very long time. i am using the IC that roughly dimensions the same as the one you are talking about. im making well over 600whp with it and having no problems at all.

NOTE: unless they have made some changes in that kit, it will NOT fit a civic without some cutting. in fact, when i bought my kit, it was made for a turbo mustang. after some slight fab work with it, we sent in a picture to treadstone showing how it looked (they had told us that this kit would not work on a honda). last time i checked, they had the front view pic of my black Si as their link and they havent paid me any licensing fees

^just found it - my Si w/ their kit.

It will fit. I will make it fit. I have lots of room behind there anyways and I dont care about the bumper or the car never the less.

haha reminds me of my hatch that i use for a DD. I really dont give a crap about it. Im piecing together a turbo kit for less than 500 dollars including a clutch and hoping to make 240whp on the b18b1 thats it there. 400whp like your going for in a hatch would be awesome!!!!

The pictures they show look nice, but they don't provide any close-ups that allow you to really see the fin density, or the shape of the fins where they attach to the bar or plate, or whatever it is they're bonded to.

Has anyone got an intercooler from them, who could take some nice close-ups? ? ?
