Well, a goofy looking guy in brown shorts came by last night around 8:00. He dropped off a package for me. He got lucky it was cool out because of the monsoon:
I opened up the package and saw this:
VERY good job packaging, and shipping wasn't too bad...less than a week.
Here's the accompanying hardware and brackets:
Shot of the core:
WAY out of focus, but here are the welds and steel mounting inserts:
I think something is going to need a little trimming:
No hurry though, something is still missing:
and obviously works not getting done very fast (hot as all heck out all day and night):
Oh well, pushrods, timing set, and HD locks/retainers in the mail, then ready for blueprinting and machining.
And of course this still needs some work
BOTTOM LINE: I don't think I could have gotten a nicer intercooler for the price- $265 shipped. There was a note on his site saying he was going to be raising prices, which is the only reason I bought it so soon
I would highly recommend Tyrus @ johnnyracecar.com for all your non-full-drag air/air intercooling needs

that intercooler looks like it flows like @!#$!
It's flowed enough to put 500whp through a Honda engine, and I'm only looking for 350 with mine, so I should be okay. I'm not sure what the pressure drop is like though, but if it was that bad, this guy wouldn't be in business anymore. My project is still a 'budget build' (it's taken me two years so far, and I've only managed to get about $3000 into it), so this being a decent intercooler at a more than affordable price I was all over it.

Yeah, it's different. But, this car is completely gutted, all options and anything else not needed to go straight for a few seconds has been removed. $2500 for a forged crank is just too much, and severly limits any real potential this motor has. Looking to go with a 3800 in this in the end. The LN2 will probably end up in a little coupe for my brother or something.

i hear ya, and the ic should be good for 350. next time your in the market check out ebay cores! i got a bad ass core for $150. then made my own piping (isnt had at all!, just had a firend weld the bov flange for me) who gets ic kits for $150??? and am i seeing that correctly is that anodized??
omg turbo sedan... lol nice project. hope it works out well for you. speaking of forced four doors... stop by our site. we're working on our boosted sedan currently and hope to have it out doing burnouts this sunday night.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
