what is the difference between the Evo 9 IC regular version vs. the power brace version? any power or flow number differences?

I would love to add a power brace to drop weight off the nose, but not at the cost of power loss.

 

Send me a PM with what you need.

The Evolution 9 intercooler is 22" wide where the power brace intercooler is 20" wide. You will lose 2.0" of surface area and will be limited to a 3.5" intercooler. If you don't plan on making over 500 whp it won't be a problem.

Thanks,

Michael

 

Does the 2" of surface even matter with the Evo IX front bumper IC opening?

 

Do you have any pics of the stainless BOV pipe fitted?

And what sizes do the Garret cores come in?

Are these Garret cores the same as the Buschur Garret cores?

Thanks

 

Installed my ETS 3.5 w/piping and ETS intake. As usual great quality and perfect fitment, oh and looks bad ***. Thanks ETS.

 

If you plan on sticking with a stock frame turbo you shouldn't have a problem. Surface area is the most important aspect when building an intercooler. This is where your main heat transfer takes place


Yes, we use the same Garrett core if requested. We mainly sell our core which is very similar in design on the internal fin pack, but we do a couple different things on the external fin pack that help with airflow to the radiator and oil cooler for street and track cars.

Something else that sets us apart from the others is the fact we hand port the inlet and outlet of end tanks. If you were to stick your finger into the inlet you would feel a smooth almost non existent transition from the outlet tube to the tank. Some of the other manufactures weld on a tube that you can feel on the inside and this causes turbulence.

We also weld the inside and the outside of the end tank and fold instead of weld the complete tank together. This gives you maximum durability and reliability.

Any other questions, let me know!

Awesome! If you get time post up some pics! We love looking at customer installs.


Thanks Everyone!

I think that answers my question, the 3" normal IX IC is the best option for me and my goals, the power brace is nice, but I want the max. cooling efficiency. ( AZ summers )


thanks michael...

 

No Problem!

 

Bump!

 

Way OT, but are those wheels matte bronze or flat black?

 

I'm not sure. It's a customers car. They almost look flat black.

Michael

 

Bump!

 

Great intercooler. I finally ordered mine, and installed it. It was an easy install, but I will say this. Funny deal actually, with all the peanuts in the box and a windy day made a hell of a day, when they all flew in my front yard. I spent about three hours trying to pick up all the little peaces of peanuts out of my yard and neighbors hard lol.

Great product though, I love it. I just hate I couldnt retain my crash beam when I installed my APR GT front bumper

 

here are a couple pics of it.



Here is also ETS's radiator pipe which is also great fitment in case anyone is interested in purchasing it from them.

 

Look Fatbulous I will pick one up some time soon
