He was asking for the dimension of THE biggest intercooler that can fit the car. Not WHO has the biggest...

Well go to the RRM site and look at the dimensions for their intercooler. I don't think he needs me to hold his hand or wipe his ***.

good answer but you didn't help the guy at all .first you need a tape measure and a straight edge and you can figure it out yourself if you really want to know.now this might envolve you getting dirty and doing math but it will pay off in the end ,pull the plastic back from the bottom of the front end look up from the floor where the ic would be sitting sqware off the edges using a straight edge or tri sqware and measure away now keep in mind you can remove the safety bar or "crash bar " and fit an even bigger ic in but this ic has to match with the turbo size and piping lengthes or you could just call RRM and order a turbo kit .it comes with the proper size ic they did all the r&d for ya

Or just go to the RRM site and see what intercooler they use. Remember this is RRM we're talking about, they will have already done the measurements to cram the biggest intercooler possible in there.

Here might be some possible dimensions to start with.

RPW has suggested a 300x300x30 IC with their Stage 2 Kit. Not exactly your answer but it certainly beats "RRM has the biggest" comment.

^Exactly, if you're making enough power for the intercooler to be a limiting factor, you damn well have the knowledge to measure the space.

Your numbers don't match at all. Your 300x300x30 don't make sense whatsoever.

What is 300x300x30?Please explain.

Actually RPW says 500x300x30 and my best guess would be millimetres.

20" base 11"height 1" wide I know nothing about intercoolers my guess would be that it should be wider?

Even if that was the case, I believe the RRM website made a mistake. I truly dont know of any intercooler 30mm thick, that is a hair thicker than 1".

As far is the 500mmx300'' that I can believe because it is like 20"x12".
