Earl sells PWR Intercoolers. The 24x8x3 would work nicely for you.

I just finished a turbo system with that same IC, I was very impressed with the efficiency. While on the dyno, back to back runs, the intake temps were &gt;121 degrees, and it was nearly 100 in the shop. This was at 15psi.

ART gets from me!

I recently had a customer bring in a precision ic like pictured above to have some brackets welded on and I am very impressed with the quality and core design. I will be using these cores from now on. They're very reasonably priced as well!

Tony, I thought you like the XS intercooler better than anything. Is the precision i/c is it bar & plate or tube in fin?

Do you have the GTR core in stock? or like silvia core? how much would these i/c would cost including the polished end tanks? What kind of power these i/c can produce. I'm looking for 450-500 whp. Thanks,
Vic

The Precision uses a bar and plate and has alot of turbolators in it. Its a really nice core, but has really odd sizes. I am actually in the process of getting custom end tanks for the intercooler cores.
