My friend Just got an intercooler nice FMIC for his Saab for only 175 shipped. It's a brand New Saab Viggen IC. The core is 21 X 7 X 2". Over length is 30. And it has 2" inlet/outlet. The distance between inlet/outlet piping is 26" so it will clear 4th gen civic raditators. The endtanks are plastic but are holding up to the 22 PSI my friend is running on his 900. I would say these IC's are great for Junkyard setups and setups less then 300 whp. A great FMIC for under 200 and it's brand new too.
I will post some pics when I get a chance.
The IC came from a Place called
Taliaferro Imports INC
I beleave it's a dealer.

 

Awesome, I want to see this thing.... Post pics ASAP.

I just looked at invoice again and the total for the IC was 158.26 + 8.00 shipping to PA. The extra 10 bucks was for a radiator hose he got along with the IC.

 

Sweet baby Jesus, that's cheap! Joel, do a manometer test to see if you only get what you pay for; I'm interested.

 

Just be carefull though with those type endtanks. Hes running 22 pounds, but im sure thats on a super tiny turbo.

 

You could always weld on the end tanks yourself. Anyways post some pics asap!

Nope....He is running a T3/T04E. But those Saab Engine's have very small runners and ports in the head. the exhaust manifold is a joke too. I bet he could get a ton of power if he would do some major porting.

 

sounds interesting... post some pix...

i dunno about plastic endtanks though... sounds a bit scarey at 20+ psi

 

the vigen intercoolers inlet/outlet tubes face in towards the radiator, so there may be fitment issues, but it definately may be a good possibility..

I want to see pics!

 

Back from the dead... Any pics, Joel?

 

yeah, a pic would be cool I'm thinking this probably isn't great (as most OEM-style intercoolers aren't) but, I'm hoping it's cool

 

I just talked to Joel on AIM... since he's a lazy bastard, I'll post the pics for him. Enjoy his hairy legs.

Are those endtanks plastic?

I guess it would work on a "low" boost setup. Beats the worn out Starion FMIC's I've seen...which go for more!

 

OMG!!!

What is that bad man doing to that intercooler?

 

ahaha, that looks pretty sweet..a little thin..but still very nice.
i was thinking..i wonder howmuch a FMIC on the new SRT is going to cost?

 

 

next time please just post pics of the intercooler, no one wants to see your boyfriend with his pants off

 

bwhahaha!

but that IC looks nice. i bet it would work just as well as my Type 31, too since i'm only at 5 psi.

 

Very mature.

 

thats pretty wrong, i cant buy one now...

 

can you get some contact info for this place that sells this intercooler?
thanks

scott
98 ITR turbo

 

actually a friend of mine works in parts at a saturn/saab/isuzu dealership. I'll get a price from him and let you guys know.

 

so, I'm atleast interested in seeing this intercooler...can the pics be fixed? I'm only seeing some red X's...

 

I wonder if this will fit 5th gen Civic. Can you modify the endtank? Anyone did this?

 

if you still have access to the invoice please post part number.
