Hey guys,

Im looking for a cheap yet decet intercooler. Someone had mentiond "johnnyracecar" intercoolers. They are cheap but, they dont come with any piping. The intercooler i want to get is the 5" one, but where the hell am I gonna get the piping?? and which piping should i get???? My set up is a greddy 19t kit (basic 5psi)

I think I mentioned the johnny race car IC..

get the pipes from www.JCWhitney.com

JRC gives the dimensions of the outlets... so just match that size for the piping.

so like universal piping kit from greddy wouldn't work huh??

if you have foglights and want to keep them i suggest you go with greddy but you have to get a lot of custom stuff for the johhny race car for it to fit

johnnyracecar ic's are poor quality, with extremely high pressure drop and mediocre cooling. i suggest looking elsewhere. a turbo setup is NOT A THING TO SKIMP ON.

Where are you getting that info from? People on HT and d16 seem pretty damn happy with theirs.

And ed.. not true at all. WTF are you thinking? With a custom kit you can run the piping however you want.

What factors affect efficiency of an Air-to-Air Intercooler?
Frontal area: This is a rapidly decreasing function. If the proper core size is used, then doubling it will definitely not double the efficiency. More likely, doubling the core would raise the efficiency about 5% and cost twice the necessary amount and add substantially to the weight.

Plate area: Plate Area (the sum of the Core-Plate Area which is exposed to the Atmosphere) is directly proportional to the frontal area and the thickness. Thickness, however, is a double-edged sword. With the greater thickness, the plate area increases but less ambient air can penetrate the thicker core to offer cooling.

Ambient air quantity: It is very important to insure that air coming in the snout of the car will actually go through the intercooler

if i were to run a big front mount, id take out my ac, move my radiator 4 i nches to the middle of the car, get the passenger side endtank with the outlet on the back of it, cut a hole in the rad support t hingee and have a straight angle pipe from the ic to the tb....easy.

i just ordered my second jrc intercooler for my second turbo set up,very efficiant and I got it for 200 bucks shipped...good stuff for the money...plus when you upgrade you can usually sell it to some ricer who doesn't know any better for more then you paid for it...just talking from expirence

I love my JRC intercooler.

Like said before JCwhitney for the piping, it's pretty cheap, you only need a few bends.
