CnC SportCompact.biz Member 328 Member For: 22y Location: Canberra Posted 28/01/04 10:28 AM Share Posted 28/01/04 10:28 AM As the topic and description says, what are the dimensions of the factory intercooler? I need to know because I am looking at selling the core once I have upgraded to a bigger core, which is in the not too distant future.Thanks,Kris.

I figure its worth about $400-500 but I've never seen one for sale so I have no idea of the market price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure its worth about $400-500 but I've never seen one for sale so I have no idea of the market price. The intercoolers retail for around $1400, PWR make a 670x630x70 which they designed off a T ute, it bolts in in about 2 hours without chopping into the bodywork, creates only 1 - 1.5 lb of restriction, and has intake outlet on the same side so you lose about 60cm of hose. It's a remove front bumper, bolt in new intercooler, cut and fit existing hoses, put bumper back on car, to fit up. I think the factory intercooler is worth around $500, if somebody wants it. I think they retail for so much because FMC know that over time plenty will have to be replaced by insurance companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CnC SportCompact.biz Member 328 Member For: 22y Location: Canberra Posted 28/01/04 12:03 PM Author Share Posted 28/01/04 12:03 PM Im asking how much is the stock core worth on the used market as I am going to sell it. Hyperflow are using my car to create their brand new bar and plate intercooler which I think will prove to be every bit as good as APS's bar and plate intercooler. Only time will tell however, and I can assure you that I can pick the good from the bad as I have a lot of experience in these areas.Thanks,Kris.

HEY DOC, I have now seen the intercooler you mentioned in your post,what a terrible design. I would be very surprised if the drop in charge air temperature is as good as the stock ford intercooler. Having the charge air entering and exiting the same side of the intercooler core is not very clever, (cheap to produce) and definitely hurts intercooler performance.A well desigined intercooler system delivers low pressure drop across the entire intercooler system combined with a huge reduction in charge air temperature. Thought this information might assist you in the future.PETERAPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
