Thread: Intercooler radiator

If you upgrade your core, it would be wise/most noticable to upgrade everything. Bigger lines, better pump, bigger FMHE. A local went from an SSIC to a S2 IC and noticed very little gain since he left everything from the SSIC installed and just used the S2 core.

Here is the FMHE I will be using. A few people on clubgp have made it fit without removing the A/C and from what I hear I will have an easier time since there is more room in Regals to work with.

What?? Did you even see the dimentions and sizes?? Overall and core? Those meet #4s numbers.

Radiator 2 is standard for our Stage 2 intercooler kits. It has a 20.6x12.7x1.3” inch core. Overall measurements are 24.25x13x2. It is rated at 65,400 BTU, has a fluid capacity of .37 gallons and a dry weight of 4.25 pounds. This is the minimum size you should consider for a full size intercooler kit.

Radiator 4 is what we run in our record setting GTP. It is too large to fit in the normal install location. It is recommended for hard core builds, where the AC condenser has been removed and this unit can be installed in that location. It has a 26.6x12.7x1.3” inch core. Overall measurements are 30.25x13x2. It is rated at 84,500 BTU, has a fluid capacity of .46 gallons and a dry weight of 5.5 pounds

IT MEASURES 13 INCHES TALL, 30.5 INCHES WIDE, 2 INCHES THICK, AND THE PLASTIC TANKS ARE 1 3/4 INCHES WIDE MAKING THE CORE 26.5 INCHES WIDE
