Custom Intercoolers?!?

Are there any factory made for our cars? If someone or some company will do them custom, where, who and how much...approximately? Holla...

I'd like to see some pics of one done in a 5th Gen... I saw one done in a 4th gen and it looked kinda like someone took the radiator out of their house and put it in their engine!!! If it looks that ugly, I dont know if I can swing it! Has anyone with a 5th Gen done this mod yet?!?!? Make yourself known!! We need feedback!

What you prob saw was an air to water intercooler if it was in the engine or just a lazy cheap guy. What kev posted is a front mount air to air intercooler and works pretty good should give you another 30 or so hp. And i like ive said i know the guy that did do it.

By the way kev thats so not your car And that intercooler should be wider i don't like seeing the piping out front

Jayson, you saying with this intercooler gonna give me 30 or so HP? is that only on a SC car or non-SC also? Damn, if that is non-SC, I am so going to do it with a $100-200 intercooler for my tranny.

Why take the IC off when you get an SC??? Was there a conflict or something!!! Thats what I was thinking of doing! A guy who specalized in custom intercoolers quoted me $1500 to install my SC and make me a custom intercooler! Is there a reason you took the IC off Kev?

The amount of power gain vary's but yeh 30 hp can be easyily expected. YOu can't have one on a na car just s/c or turboed (forced induction)cars. And an intercooler cost a bare min of around 600-700 bucks with no pipes you'd still have to get them made, and as for you tranny you mean a tranny oil cooler not a intercooler

I;m not being a smart *** Last I knew there was no intercooler for the maxima's I went and looked and searched 2 different ways one for the 2k max and one for the 95 max no intercoolers.

They have oil coolers for both and incoolers for the supra and 300zx but nothing I've ever seen from them for the maxima...got a link?

oil cooler keeps oil temps stable. Intercooler cools down compressed air that is coming in to the engine from a turbo or SC.

I dont know if this is true!!! Look at the link on the 1st page of this thread with the 4th Gen that has an SC and an IC!! You should be able to have both if its done custom like that guy did! If you still say no, why not? Whats the conflict? Where the heck is Kev...hes the one that took his IC off after he got the SC?!?!? WHY??? Whats the story??!? Holla...
