Default Intercooler

I was wondering does a 3core intercooler fit any vortech application as long as the piping is custom done. or does it need to be a vortech intercooler? Cause i saw some guy buy a intercooler idk wat type but bought the piping kitSo is it possible?

as long as you can mount the intercooler its the same thing, i believe when you get piping like that ask them to send T clamps and not the regular hose clamps, i hear they suck

You can fit the intercooler right on with the custom tubing.

first you hafta make sure you have enough space for the intercooler your purchasing, make sure that it flows enough to cool the application its being ran on. Then you can ask an exhaust shop fab the rest up, I dunno how close that piping kit will get you.

I did it with a dremel lol. i was gonna refer u to my post but apparently uve been there. yes pretty much all sizes will fit, dont go too big tho because thats a waste. and for your reference mine is a 24X12X3 so same as the one u posted except its 3" taller . that one would probably come exactly flush with the bottom of the bumper. and it would work fine, i also got the 3 inch outlet intercooler and 3" piping instead of the 2.5. if u have any more questions lmk

Is this going on your car?

I haven't been out since that time. Car stuff went on the backburner when the female rolled back into town.

This is the intercooler I used

This is the piping kit.

I would also try this website for miscellaneous couplings you'll need.
ie s/c to the piping.
http://www.siliconeintakes.com/categ...a782f742f2a182

I am also welding my piping so I don't have to worry about it blowing apart. Just make sure you do have some flex points in it. Remember your s/c will be freely moving because it's attached to the engine. Your intercooler is stationary.
