Motorsport front mount intercooler

Here is a shot of my Motorsport front mount intercooler. I rattle canned it to make it look half presentable. Real nice fit! I used a radiator hose for a big truck for the couplers :pbb:  It got the job done for the remainder of the summer until I get nice ones. I should have took some pictures of it off the car, but you all know what one looks like ;)

Did you paint the IC core w/ std spray paint?

Not too good for heat transfer efficiency.

There were two Motorsport intercooler kits offered, an early one that first appeared in the 1985 catalog and a later one that replaced the early one and first appeared in the 1987 catalog.

The early one didn't have a bypass valve and used clamps to keep the two pipes close together.




The later kit that had a bypass valve and revised piping to fit the different intercooler (this is the Spearco sourced kit).

Ahhh. Thers a fair bit of room to work with in there.

I'm trying to front mount the IC in my sprint, what a nightmare.
