Saab 9'5 Intercooler

[BaddAssGst]

Anyone know the the Saab IC's are? It's from a 2005 Saab 95. Its 34 X 7 X 3 and the Inlets are 2 1/4. I can pick one up pretty cheap from a local guy but I don't know how good they cool and what not. Here's a few pics.

It is not a very big intercooler, but it is probably a little bit better than the stock sidemount intercooler. Their is only one way to find out- Try it out!! You will probably have a fun time getting it to fit though.

You think it's not worth getting? I'm only going to run an EvoIII or maybe forcedPerformance's 18g. I know the 18g will be harder to cool with that thing but I can't seem to find any front mounts for a half way decent price.

you aren't looking hard enough then. My FMIC setup was right around 300$

What kind of core do you have? Making the pipes is not a big deal for me. I just can't justify spending 700+ dollars on one. I don't need a full out race core but I need something to be able to cool, at the most, the 18g at about 21psi.

JRC intercooler

Has endtanks set up for 1g short route piping. I'm thinking of going with this setup, should work well with a 16g or 18g.

Anyone notice the header at the top of the page says,

I looked at the JRC, but alot of people were saying they were junk and not to use them. I've read the thread about them but most of the people didn't have numbers to back up there IC. I guess that is something to look into...

I'm definitely going with the 8" IC, should I go with 2.5" piping, 2.25" piping, or the 2.25" on one side and 2.5" on the other side. Would it be easier to use the 2.25" to make it easier for the piping to run to the turbo and just use a 2.5" to run up to the throttle body?

I really want to cut as little as possible on my car and I don't really want to have to move lines and everything else.

plastic end tanks?is that good?I trust metal myself,but i could be wrong.

can't go wrong. especially if it's cheap.

but keep in mind, do it wrong do it twice.. and do it right do it once

I'd do a search on E-bay before I did anything. I saw a Supra Sidemount on there yesterday. I think I searched for "DSM." Might want to snatch it up

i wonder if that thing fits around the 2g radiator. Anyone know if they are the same size?
