I let someone drive my car and they bottomed out and bent the fuck out of my current fmic. Most intercoolers online have the inlet/outlet in the same position on both sides… Mine obviously doesnt, on the right side its at the top and on the left side its on the bottom… Is there a specific name for these intercoolers and does anyone know where to get a decent brand new one? I kinda wanna go bigger too as im gonna cut my bumper out and wanna fill it w/ the intercooler.
I really dont want to get a diff intercooler cuz I dont wanna have to run new piping agaain.
took my bumper off last night to see real damage, i guess its not terrible so im gonna keep it until I find a legit intercooler instead of going with a gay godspeed.
Straightened out the ic cuz it was crooked and cleaned it up while it was off and sprayed it with break caliper paint, looks alot better.
Since, I already ordered a new bumper I wanted to see what it would look like if I cut out the black trim on stock ones and lost the front plate so I experimented… Looks 100 times better, def gonna roll this way with the new bumper.
painted
with the bumper cut out and the front plate removed
the godspeed really isnt as bad as you think, especially for the $ you pay. unless you are getting something with a Garrett, or Bell core you really are getting the same tube and fin, or low quality bar/plate core.
a small Garrett 350hp core with correct endtanks will be more efficient than what you have now.
caliper paint? they make paint for this purpose ie: radiator paint. caliper paint usually has a ceramic component…good for insulation, not so good for heat transfer…no?
