New Front Mount IC in melbourne...

[TSTG33R]

Hey ppls,

Just a bit of a question I got here about prices and the best place to go for a front mount ic.

It seems I have a leak in my standard 33gtst intercooler, that would be leaking air I assume, and it is leaking through a previously patched point in the cooler, therefore a refix is not really an option, as in the words of goldmember I aint toight...

Therefore, I'f I'm going to fork out the money to get a new cooler I thought I may as well go an aftermarket front mount...any excuse will do I guess!

So I need some ideas...

- Im not after anything huge, and I'm not looking at spending truck loads, It would be great If I could get something second hand or the like, or even a well made no name.

- Any recommendations on places to go for one in Melbourne? That would include somewhere that could source and fit?

- And of course estimates on prices would be great?

Thanks,

Paul Paul

for a front mount i think you will be looking at 1000 till 1500

try AVO $1800 for a Stage 2 cooler which is epa approved and it takes about 4hrs for them to fit... 15rwkw difference on my car which is what they told me b4 hand..

Ice performance do front mounts. I got quoted 1250 for a front mount fitted. Thats a good price. Forgot the measurements. Give em a call on 95555969.

After you've rang ice, try Race radiators

They do good work, and Dave got his made up for well under $1000.

Ditto.

Got one built that returns along the underside, so minimal stuffing around to hook into the plumbing. From memory, $700, then couple hundred to have it fitted.

('Eric' gets all his ICs done there).

blind_elk: Wow, that's a pretty good price, I might go down and check them out tomorrow. What size cooler was it??

howw big core and how efficient is it having it return to the underside?

Mine is a bit narrower than it could be, coz we thought the A/C condensor bottle (by driver's side of radiator) was going to interfere. Its about 60 - 70 mm thick, and half the height is behind the bumper bar (the steel one).

[meggala]

mine is 500 x 280 x 76 if you get the 300 high with the under pipe it causes lots of scraping issues the apex ones are the same size as mine
