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

[J. Fast]

One interested person... WOW!

the thread has only been up a week or so. But did you try 3si? probably more people on that board..

But 3s is kind of poor mans platform I guess. Not taking anything away from the car I love these cars just that it's a cheap car. Thus brings cheap/poor people

[anyonebutme]

busy playing with other platforms right now......

personally, I prefer sidemounts for how I use my vehicles.

One interested person... WOW!

price-point...dont get me wrong, not implying that what you are proposing isn't worth it!

But I count 5-6 that are interested and either; dont need that big of a core, or cant spend that kind of cash on it.

Idea...maybe offer your version as the "race option" and a "street version" with a smaller core and under ~$700?

...would be a great option for someone who doesn't want to retrofit DSMs

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

Yeah we need cores better than cx racing, but maybe not as good as bell.

Price is out with 8x8x3.5. Should fit all year bumpers(except the 99's, they sit further back) w/o issue and work with stock ducting. since its basically stock thats like 1" thicker and likely a higher quality core.

Jeremy, if I had it over again I’d go this route but at this point there is no way I could afford them.

I'd say make an option with the same same or close to same surface area as the bell core option, but a thinner 3.5", and with cheaper cores (like ebay cxracing core). when it comes to intercoolers, Surface area is way more important than thickness. Have a look at the formula cars intercoolers.


This would make it in a better price range for many people and with sufficient flow for most td04 builds.

Alright so 3.5" 8 x 10 cores are $100 cheaper each so... $800 range without shroud and oil cooler mounting bracket. Let's see where this goes. Man, I'm so damn surprised the interest is so low.

Guess this is why I fab for scoobs. No money in 3/S. You have to do it because you love it, not to make a living.

[AdamVR4]

Geeze, your $1000 side mounts arent immediate hits? Bash the community because there's no way this has anything to do with prior failed group buys, the price point, or the fact that most of us spent less to go FMIC years ago.

Maybe presenting similar projects you've done for scoobs would help churn up interest. Have you ever organized a 3S group buy where you collected money up front? SO many of these deals go south.

There's a reason these style SMICs haven't been big hits in the past. You're not the first to think of this and neither was russian.

God the 3S market is turrible!!1
