ebay intercoolers? Hey guys. what size intercoolers are you getting off of ebay and what seller? How reliable are they? how long have you had them on the car? and what kind of problems if any are you having?
31x12x4
3 inch inlet/outlet
seller, pretty much every seller sells the same IC's...go with the seller who has the best feedback.
for what you pay they are very reliable, kp here on tech has push his into the 8's.

Pretty much any Ebay one that is 31x12x4 or 31x12x3 both work pretty well if you have a good source of air flow to cool the air charge. No problems, no leaks. I have used CXRacing in the past.

I got mine off ebay. The CORE SIZE is 24x12x4 with 3" inlets & outlet. I think the overall size is the same as everyone elses here mentioned 31x12x4 or whatever. I searched ebay by the core size tho to find the one I got. Works great so far and does a very good job of keeping the IATs in check from the F1.

Ditto on everything said. The more expensive intercoolers are probally thicker walled and probally have thicker cores ...but for something likmine thats driven on the street mainly..you cant beat the cxracing prices.And i have had no problems on mine and have had mine for almost a year.

I bought my universal piping kit from CXRacing, and the pipe was quality stuff. I highly recommend them.
I bought my intercooler off ebay, but I don't remember from whom. It is a Mishimoto "M Line". MSRP is $340, but I got it for about $200. Quality looks solid, and no signs of leaks yet (only 50 miles on it so far). Here are the specs and some pics:
Overall Size: 27.5" x 11.75" x 3"
Core Size: 23.5" x 11.75" x 3"

I have bought 3 from CXracing, all the 4" thick ones previously mentioned. At 10psi my intake temps on a 90* day would go DOWN from 96* to around 88* during 3rd gear boost pulls on my datalogs......never had a problem with them. Money well spent
ok so if i buy a bigger intercooler like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-I...Q5fAccessories
where do i get the piping to run the intercooler to the procharger since the twin intercooler piping wont work??
