1G Is this an ETS Intercooler?

[sleeper1ga]

I bought this off a guy during winter, but when I went to look up how people mount them the brackets looked different. Just trying to figure out if it's truly ETS or other reliable brand since I will be pushing 30+psi. Supposedly 10.5" race intercooler. If you measure from the side pieces next to the core it's 10.5"x3" like it should be but the brackets just don't look right, but perhaps it's an older style? If anyone can identify the brand and model that would be great!
Thanks, Sleeper1ga

I can't say for sure who made it, but it does look a bit odd compared to most every intercooler I have seen, because of the way the end tanks are slightly larger than the core and overhang a bit.
It looks like a solid design though and would probably do a good job of cooling. You may just have to try it out to see what it can do. As long as the intake temps stay in check after a long pull I would just run it.

Doesnt look like ETS welds. I'd put my money on kenitic/sbr fmic? Possible a MAP IC?

That looks like it takes the place of the hood latch support. That's a neat idea!

If you have hood pins

 

[bastarddsm]

No, there is a vertical metal bar that connects the hood latch to the lower core support. This replaces that. The hood latch stays.

Oh that thing. I just removed that forgot. I still say thats not ETS, op if you wanna see what the welds look like on a real ets let me know i can show you, the ones you posted look like bird shit

Not saying it won't work, my vrsf had shitty welds and worke alright.

So I looked up the brands people mentioned but still haven't found one that matches, I could only find a few pics of the sbr so it may be that though

If I wasn't going to be pushing the amount of boost I plan on running I wouldn't care about brand but since I will be running hx35 or hx40 I am very nervous about its welds

Lets see better pic

 

[sleeper1ga]

What do you want to see a pic of?

 

[Tiki2777]

Well it definitely doesn't look like my 2g's sbr intercooler and I totally forgot if sbr made a 1g ic

Ets race intercooler maybe older modle

Ets race intercooler maybe older modle

Mounting tabs are different.

Op lets see a pic ofnthe welds from the end tank to the core. It ahould look as uniform and clean as this if it's real ets. Those guys are welding artists. Granted my intercooler is used and starting to oxidize.

Like I said could be a differant or older model

 

[bastarddsm]

If you allready have it, but it on an try it. My IC is a large one that came from JMF I believe and it had beautiful welds on it, and it has cracked them all on the end tanks. if it's not a stout cast end tank, they will probably crack at some point.

It looks mine it came when i bought the car so im not sure if it is a ets but its 10.5 inches high 3.5 inches thick and fills my entire area, it has the weld ons.

 

[sleeper1ga]

Alright so I think I added any pictures that could possibly be needed now haha Also finally found a good tape measure so measurements are slightly different
Thanks for all the responses, Sleeper1ga

I dont know who made that but i can only say 100% not ETS. Look how the fins were pushed back on yours at the end tank weld. Look at mine. Look at the differences in the weld. I'm sure it will work.., I'd pressure test it first though. Hope you didn't pay an ETS price for it.
