It's a 600x280x76 . Did you take any photos of yours installed ?

Mine is 32"x13"x3" I believe...

Due to it's height and the location of the GReddy pipes I had to angle the intercooler back..I think it works awesome, though, because it creates more of a "dam" effect in front of the intercooler forcing air thru it while at the same time angling the air up towards the radiator...

thanks for that . I may copy if i it wont fit vertically although mine is 2" shorter so should be ok ....

I'm not sure what intercooler mine is- it came with the used kit I bought. I had to make some mounting brackets for it to work tho- easy enough, just some L-brackets bent into shape.

I haven't had any issues with my motor mounts yet, you do you ask, OD?

Brettus

i think it was made by a chinese fella - won hung lo

Sounds like the Godspeed one then. That's the same one I have, which I also got with my used GReddy kit. My intercooler is mounted the same way, with some L-brackets bent into shape. I'm pretty happy with it so far. It's known as the "eBay intercooler" but apparently performs pretty well.

Just took my engine out again to fix a persistent oil leak (same crack as what MYSQL had ) dating back to when I blew the engine a year ago . So It's time for some new upgrades .

Starting with
Esmeril apex seals + stress relief dowel area
Mild Porting work - (done by me so it wont be anything special )
New 2nd hand clutch (thanks to Swoope)
Bigger injectors (have run out of fuel at 350 whp)

Still really happy with the turbo and it looks to be in great shape (after 22000 km) so nothing much there - think the 360degree thrust bearing was a good investment.
Just measured the inducer diameter at 56.5mm (2.22") and exducer at 75mm .This seems to corelate to a T04e 57 trim . If this is the case then it is flowing way more air than the compressor map would suggest it is capable of .

Also notice that my turbine has been clipped - somewhere around 10 degrees but hard to tell without pulling it to bits .

thread revival .... I doez it haha ...that's good stuff man! I am trying to pick up a blown shortblock to mess around/learn from

awesome to hear it is running strong! Did you rebuild using stock configuration?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

some very minor porting + esmeril seals + oil gallery bypass for front bearing . That was about it for internal mods .
