    Gauging interest in custom sidemount intercoolers w/9.75" x 11.75" x 4.5" Bell Cores

    Bolt on... and will accept stock intercooler piping. Somewhere in the $1000 range with upgrade options for a shroud and a custom oil cooler bracket. Intercooler entrance and exit piping will be 2".

    Need atleast 5 sets or it's not worth it.

    Tidbits from my 3sgto.org Facebook post.
    They will be the largest SMIC's ever fabricated, will accept OEM piping configurations, and good for 400hp per turbo.

    In addition I can also offer a custom shroud and/or upgrade to an integrated oil cooler bracket for twin oil coolers or a single cooler in stock location. The oil coolers can be mounted behind the cores.

    Intercooler cores will be 4.5" deep Bell Cores. 2" inlet/outlet.

    This is the dream setup for you DR750 guys or big twin turbo setups.

    I will be asking for a material deposit. Turn around will be 3 weeks.

    Please start a list...
    This is a good as it gets for not restricting airflow to the engine and radiator. Guys making over 500hp know what I'm talking about when you still have air conditioning and sit idle or run ragged on a road course.

    Bell core # A450118100 core measurements are 4.5" x 11.8" x 10" .

    Core chart and pricing is here... Bell Intercoolers | Air to Air Intercooler Cores

    Cores for each set are $700, end tanks are $80, piping is $100. I'm basically building these as a favor to a few people that were involved in a bidding war over my last (2) sets of Gene's SMIC's. I told them I would replicate them for the same price. Gene lost his ass on his group buy... I'm a bit wiser and don't steal . I'll do it for cost plus $120 per set.

    Price does not include shroud, dual oil cooler or single oil cooler mounts.

    This is really the way to go. If I had a Stealth, I would hop on this.

    Each core is rated at 950cfm. That's 1900cfm of intercooler. My 4.5" x 25" x 14" Treadstone FMIC has the same rating and its rated for 1200 horsepower.

    As badass as that sounds, therein would be my question...

    There are more than a few of us out here that do not now, nor will ever, need 1900cfm of intercooler that can support 1200 horsepower. Is making a similar setup with about half(?) of that capacity not worth the time, or is the expense for same just too close to what you are proposing so that its not worth the effort?
