Thread: $1000 for intercooler.....

So i finally have enough money for an intercooler. Other than prj, which intercooler should i buy?

hmmm, yes i actually have a grand total. Theres someone on clubgp selling a zzp stage 2 for $675. Do you guys think its a good buy? Heres the link.....

ZZP Stage 2 Intercooler- Lines, Flowjet pump, Stage 2 heat exchanger (Old version) w/ mounting brackets $675

Sure...try to jew em down cuz that's whut I'd do...but it looks legit.

Looks like a pretty good price, a lil bit better than just got my Gen V WBS IC for ($740 shipped)

Cool thanks guys. I might even have some off over money to get some modded rails at the same time.

Well I'd hope so otherwise the IC isn't going on lol

i know right lol

if it were a bosch pump and the newer version heat exchanger itd be sweet but for that price it isn bad for what he has...

Was wondering what options do i chose for core charge and option 4?

If you want to buy their intake manifold, then you would choose $100 core charge and under option 4 add machined intake for $90. You get the $100 core charge back when you send them your stock intake/LIM.

Benefits of doing so, are that PCV would work with their intake and you get a machined intake out of the deal. It is a headache for some to have to deal with pcv issue or get the correct passage machined into an intake, for $90 it's not that bad of a deal considering the change your forking over buying a new intercooler setup.

I'm sure people will say don't do it, use your stock intake or run a breather. Look into some threads on pcv.

Cool thanks fosho

So here is my plan guys. I got a pm from clubgp from someone i was trying to buy a stage 2 ic blower case from saying to go stage 3 or nothing. I then go to zzp site and look more into stage 3 in their description and its saying stage 3 is so good that it can allow you to run down to a 2.8 pulley knock free because it doesnt transfer heat like the aluminum core does. No knock whatsoever.


So im thinking i should buy a zzp stage 3 core

$850

Then buying the W body store Intercooler Install Kit
W Body Store
$330

Total will be around $1240 including shipping. Thats without a LIM or moddified fuel rails so far.

My question is what fmhe is included in the W body intercooler install kit??

What else would i need or need to get done?

I currently have $1,400 to spend or should i save up some more for another week or so?

sseil are your pheno intercoolers the same as the zzp stage 3 intercoolers? Does the pcv on the zzp stage 3 work?

My phenolic is 3/8 inch shorter than ZzP'S phenolic. Makes it easier to shut the hood on some cars. ZZP's PCV does work if you buy there manifold, mine works with a valve cover breather or a line from valve cover to throttle body. I made a thread on how to do it.
