where do you go to buy intercoolers?
where do you go to buy intercoolers? Does anyone know where you can go to look at an intercooler that actually lists a price instead of just the core # and specs?
Ive been looking around and I cant ever find the two combined, its either price adn no real info, or its all the info youd want and no price.????
From looking around I am guessing that with these you need to buy the cores and have the end tanks made or what is the deal?
Thanks

i ran into the same problem.
one of the biggest manufacturers for A2W ICs would be precision, seems thats were most people got them from.
finding specs were very hard, this is about the best i could find
im not sure if these prices still hold true or not, probably not
another place you could try to contact is bell intercoolers, they could give you a quote, griffin might also be able to make you one.
I worked with Griffin and bought some cores to make one, if i could have found a cheaper place for aluminum sheets it would have been cheaper, but i probably have $600 in the one im making, oh and a WHOLE lot of labor, cause i cut the aluminum out with a jigsaw and welded it my self, still not even done yet.
it should support about 900-1000RWHP, going by area

450hp - $550.00
900hp - $850.00
1200hp - $1100.00
1800hp - $1650.00
2400hp - $2200.00
The cores used for the
450hp is 10 x 4.5 x 4.5 (one used)
900hp uses the same but use 2
1200hp uses a 12 x 13.5 x 6
1800hp uses the 10 x 4.5 x 4.5 cores but uses 4
the 2400hp uses 3 of the 12 x 13.5 x 6 I belieave..
so add 3 to 4 inches to each side of the cores and you have the cooler size..
Hope helps in size questions..

Is it just me or are they rediculously expensive? I know Spearco cores are affordable... are A2A and A2W cores the same? I can see why you're making your own... $2200 will damn near buy you a forged shortblock!!!!!

If you want the absolute lowest IATs in your daily driver A2W is the only way to go. Sure you can do a FMIC and spray water/alcohol injection but you'll constantly be filling that thing and if it runs out while you're on high boost outside of town.....well you know.

Yeah, but to cool stuff down some and not go through the cost (as long as you aren't CONSTANTLY) @ full throttle you shouldn't be having that much of a problem and for when you do need a full throttle run, that's what a progressive alky/meth/h2o setup is for right? What about the A2W2A that the TTi Race kit uses? Obviously it works for MM.
I confess, I've never welded aluminum before so I don't know too much about it. I always knew it required a good deal of practice but never even thought about trying it.
There is someone on eBay that has bar and plate intercooler cores dirt cheap.. Check them out...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW
If that doesn't work, eBay item number is 7982621102
I know end tanks aren't too too expensive either. I was looking at some the other day and they were looking around $45-$50 per tank.

Those cores really aren't that cheap considering they have to be welded together to make much of anything and then there still only 6" tall.
You could always fab it up and send it out to be welded. Just make sure you have no gaps at all. If you cannot find anyone local for a good price I weld aluminum, stainless or whatever you need, if interested P.M. me.
Jose,
I have another question, the flow #'s that you have listed on your site, and then the hp ratings below dont match up. The parts #'s that go with the specs and prices are there, and then below where you say what each part will support HP wise the part numbers are not the same.
