I've seen enough threads about the old and busted OEM Intercooler. Know what I think... Fugetaboutit! So since we're not talking about that thing anymore, how about we discuss new IC cores and what they can offer. This isn't a hacked up air-to-air core but a custom sized air-to-water core made especially for this particular application. Inlet, outlet, endtanks and everything else will be scratch-built with only three things in mind, performance, fit and reproducibility. No preorders or anything at this time, just building it for my own car as my second OEM core just started wetting the bed after only being in the car 35k. If it works out, perhaps these will be available in the future.

For your viewing pleasure.

then you will have 0 pressure in that 1/2 of the radiator system.

Thanks for everyone's response. I appreciate the info. and good advice. Sure wish that Rudy and/or Accelerated would make another batch, and have them available for those in need in the future. My fault for not getting one of his as a spare when they were available. Always the money issue unfortunately.

i found one in 35 seconds for $450 on EBay. Noted that 20 people are currently watching it.
It can be yours, you just have to press the buy now button. $450 is really cheap for an item that is critical
if you have a SC engine and you’ll receive it in a few weeks. No messing around, it’s a bolt in.
