Thread: Air to Air Intercooler....

So I am srrsly thinking about making an Air to Air Intercooler. I have been doing some reading and some research and I think I can pull it off.... Thoughts?

For S/C application? Wouldn't be difficult if you have the fab skills. Holden has one for the 3800 series 2

Josh, your scaring me.

Dont get too ahead of yourself.

I have seen the Holden core and plan on mimicking the design..

Here is a picture it.

Hoses long enough for you? Jc Whitney called and they want their windshield visor back that's wrapped around your air filter/intake tube. :P

When you doing this? Are you able to find measurements?

I'd whittle it out of wood.

Id carve it out of stone.

When?? Prolly this week or next when everything gets back to normal at work. As far as measurements go, no. I was gonna wing it.. Lol

I dont know much, but i suggest not to wing it. Unless you were being sarcastic.

When it comes down to your engine josh, the last thing you want is more ghetto rigged sh*t.

Ghetto rigging seems to be getting the job done... Plus when I said I would wing it, I meant I have to look at the LIM and blower and figure something out.

Ghetto Rigged seems to be getting the job done now. On a stock car, but that might not last forever.

I personally wouldnt ghetto rig anything when it comes down to modding, do it right the first time, and you could possibly save your engine.

Plus yours has ~250,000 miles, so the last thing it needs is ghetto rigged "mods" on it.

But hell, i say go for it. I would love to see it done. Im just throwing in my .02

im excited to see this...and the results.

His EGR is already deleted.

He means delete it right

I went out and was looking at things earlier... My biggest problem right now will be with the fuel rails.. I will have to figure something out with that... Cause I am thinking the core I build will require me to do something with them cause it will be too thick.

Plus the more I am reading the more issues I am seeing with it.. Seems that the issue will be with the MAF and throttle response.
