Wasn't going to ask to buy, but to see about the cost of making another set

I was told by the maker that the cores ran a few hundred a piece; said that they cost him ~$800 to produce, IIRC. I didn't have him make them for me, he had made them for himself years ago. I got them off of him as he lives locally and was getting out of the 3S game.

Those look pretty sweet. The driver side bottom pipe looks odd unless it's being routed under/through the engine bay. I'm guess you bought them used as the aluminum has that look to it. You sure on that core size? Core is just the fin area less the end tanks. They sure don't look the size you listed.

the largests SMICS ever made AFAIK:

oohnoo's ideas:
core1: 8" x 8.8" x 4.5" - 742cfm
core volume: 316.8ci (x2 for both sides for 633.6ci)
- OR -
core2: 8" x 8.5" x 4.5" - 717cfm
core voulme: 306ci (x2 for both sides)
- OR -
core3: 8.1" x 8" x 4.5" - 683cfm
core volume: 291.6ci (x2 for both sides)
- OR -
core4: 8.1" x 6" x 4.5" - 701cfm
core volume: 218.7ci (x2 for both sides for 437.4ci)

mine (made 1-off custom by Tim/*GT)
core: 6 * 8.5 * 8.5
core volume: 433.5 ci (x2 for both sides for 867ci)

Dejon V1

core volume: 280ci (x2 for both sides)

Dejon V2
coreL 3.5 x 8 x 8

They are very used. They hook up to turbos opposite of normal - front turbo hooks up to the DS IC (in through the bottom as you noted, out from the top to the Y); rear turbo hooks up to the PS IC.

I defogged my headlights today! Just want to say thanks to April on the awesome write up in her halo mod thread. That made it so easy. Kind of made a mess with the glue stretching and getting everywhere and a bit of dust getting back in there as I was reassembling it. They look 98.3% better!

I matched my 70MM to my new plenum and it flows perfect. I took my 1600cc injectors out and are gonna send them to be cleaned

Got my first flatbed picture! All because the power steering pump fell off the car being towed in front of me and smashed my oil pan.

Hope you was able to identify the towing company, they are responsible for stuff like that.

Good thinking.. I wonder if insurance would help you out, as well?
