saab intercooler. its 1/3 the size of a normal full core one. does the same job

 

hmm. i think i have an idea of what your talking about.. but im thinking of my old 1.8t passat. got any pics of this saab intercooler?

edit: also would i be able to use a half size dual core radiator from an ej?

 

anyone know where to get a velocity stack with an air filter insert?

 

good call brice. i think they were on the 9-3 or 9-5...i cant remember which, or maybe it was both. but they are very nice factory front mounts. i was gonna buy one at the junk yard one day but it was messed up. could also try an srt4 oem front mount. they're pretty small as well.

yes, you can use the half rad but it will require some modification to get it to mount in nicely

 

hmm. alright cool. im loving h-t lately. lol

 

i didn't modify anything. looks alright to me. thats just my opinion though.

 

sweet

 

thanks. like i said, i didn't modify anything. all i had to do was move the lower radiator hose protection further down to protect it in case it would rub on the front cross member. i used the stock bushings for my mountings and stock bracket for the top. tighten that thing down, and it wasn't going anywhere.

 

Ebay - Blox
or check out BPI (Good ****)

 

Did you block off the other side?
Air follows the path of less resistance.

 

why? its not astronomical difference on a stock LS. who cares? maybe on a real track car that would make sense.

 

Logged like 50 miles on the DA today
Drove it to work and then to the movies.
Need to change the oil again as its on 700 miles now.

PS I love the show parking wars!

 

Ive seen it done before too, but to build a reliable ls, im willing to bet a 400whp ls motor doesnt last as long as say an ls/vtec or semi built..get what im saying...I have friends thats makin alomost 700whp on my motor setup but their rebuilding there cars after a couple months lol

 

Im lovin the after market half rad on the stock ls sorry to be a jerk, I just remember those days of my car

 

not gonna argue the longevity of a 400hp stock ls. thats wasn't my point. just said it was done, thats all. but 250 will last quite a while. its all good jj *no homo! lol

 

Still not a fan of a turbo LS for some reason............
Vtec spools up Turbos

 

nope. sure didn't. lol. i didn't see the need to do that. i had a 10" jvt fan, and it cooled pretty good. i didn't have any over heating issues at all.

 

talking about something like this.... air filter's inside
looks like the stack is from summit



btw got this from nastie garage myspace lol

i guess its just retrofit?

 

Where is there an air filter inside of that?!

Take a look at BPI's website, there are also several posts on here where you can see the positive gains.

 

i know the gains, i just think it looks beast
might not be a filter but there is a mesh or net of some sort

 

Looks like they wrapped mesh over the open portion of the intake then fit a stack over it, nothing special.

 

yeah thats what i thought.... seems like dust would get through imo

so around tax time im painting my car....
can't decide between a thunder gray or redondo red
which would look better... been tossing between these colors or similar ones for months

 

yea now I see it, that's retarded IMO.
It looks beast? ohhhhhhh where do we begin?
Look more closely at those threads and the BPI site, their filter/stack combo is proven to make more power then just a stack.

 

ok, i dont care

 

hey i just bought tha jdm visors for my da but lost tha hardwear...does any1 know where i could order tha clips from...or if any other clips from another model would fit
