ok i hear alot of people geting good bar and plate intercoolers from ebay. but would anyone here reccomened one over the 8in jrc intercooler?

 

Hell yeah, JRC can suck it. Ebay intercoolers rock my socks. Xo2:

 

my old JRC, i could bend the fins with my finger

my precision is alot tougher.
i dunno about the ebay coolers though

 

I thought the fins were supposed to be really thin and bend easily just like a radiator.

looks good, what intercooler is that who sold it to you on ebay. alos whats the dimensions on it?

 

Lol, I was just searching my old SN and found out that I made this exact same thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1248431


The intercooler I eventually bought (in the pictures) is an Xo2. But from what I hear, Boostcoolers are awesome too. Boostcoolers is more expensive though because they use the Spearco Core.

 

I just dredged through my paypal records and found the details:

hey enzo i cant find boostcoolers or x02 on ebay.

 

The xo2 guy is "Seller622". Here are his current intercooler listings: http://search.ebay.com/search/...fgtp=

I've also heard some good things about the SSAC intercoolers: http://motors.search.ebay.com/...fgtp=

 

Here is the SSAC equivalent of what I bought. It's pretty nice: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

 

im thinking of this one.

what do you think

 

those arent as nice,look at the fins on that bar and plate, there arent any, its just a metal plate with holes punched in it, an intercooler that has actual fins will have much greater surface area...

I noticed that as well....What are the holes for?

 

the holes are there to increase its surface area, but if it was a good intercooler it would have fins inside and the surface area to dissipate the heat would be much greater...

drill a hole in the bumper support and put a threaded bolt through it, its not rocket science

I bought mine from ebay seller, "just intercoolers."

Hes got the option to submit an offer on all his items.
I picked up a 28x3.5x8" intercooler, bar and plate for $115.

I left my boost settings @16psi with the 6" JRC intercooler, with nothing done but the new intercooler it was now hitting 19psi.

My old school JRC intercooler looked so pathetic... the core was maybe 2" thick? if that.

What are you guys talking about?

 

i think the fins that you can see when you look into the inlet or outlet. there is little holes in the fins. but i dont know what is being talked about the fins and surface area.

 

The complexity of an intercooler is fairly low which actually makes ebay intercoolers a fairly good deal. The one and only thing I bought for my car and have zero preassure drop and the quality looks great!
