Default What size IC core are you using?

I am at the point where I need to purchase the intercooler for my race car. Its a built turbo h22 in a eg hatch. Using a precision SC61 my goal output is 500fwhp however this turbo can do 100 more. The car is still street driven, so I am not looking to cut out my entire bumper support, but it doesnt mean the world to me. I have installed plenty of greddy intercoolers that were pretty dang big and I only need to use the plasma cutter to put a big notch in the support. I have actually considered just ordering the type 24 greddy front mount and making pipes that intersect the greddy pipes.

What size are you guys using and what turbo, boost, whp are you running?

thanks

To support 500hp, you'll need something slightly larger than the DRAG intercooler.

The Apex-i Skyline intercooler is a nice upgrade.

1995 Civic using 8x22x3 PWR intercooler but I did remove my bumper core to fit it in the location I wanted. I can't put the bumper core back in but I will be welding up a chromoly tube replacement soon. I did not have to trim very much from the bumper cover though.
