Hey guys, so im trying to plan out my build right now. My goal is to make between 450-500whp but im not sure what size intercooler to get. I was going to go ETS but i dont know what width. If anyone could help me choose and also give other suggestions on to what parts they think i should get please let me know.

Thanks

 

3.5 or 3.8 along with a lower pipe

 

From the ETS Website:
24"x11.5"x3.0" Bar & Plate Core, 1092cfm-742hp at 79% efficiency (Direct Replacement)
24"x11.5"x3.5" Bar & Plate Core, 1115cfm-758hp at 80% efficiency (Direct Replacement)

I'm using the 3 inch fyi.

 

My two thoughts
Buschur Racing Race Core

Or ETS 4 Inch One

 

I would go with the 3.5" standard tank. This intercooler will support over 600whp.

Thanks!

i have the 3.5" and it fits well and does a good job.

 

I am making over 700whp on my ETS 3.5" intercooler without any issues.

 

I am satisfied with ETS 3.0" core. (390 WHP, 93 octane)

3.5" still needs some more modification for perfect fit, but 3.0" only needs cutting the wire mesh.

3.0" is also lighter / and might give slight less turbo lag too, while still big enough for 500WHP.

I didn't have to trim anything to fit the ETS 3.0"

Also the end tanks are not even close to the mesh/brackets.

 

You can trim grill mesh wire where bent inside shown at below picture if you don't want it scratch part of the end tanks.

quick question guys, which type of bushing should i get for my evo 8?

 

anyone know any good places in northern Virginia that does a good wrap or painjob for a good price? thanks

 

I prefer harder rubber bushings if you can get them; the poly bushings that replace sphericals have never been a match for Ralliart's stuff. That being said, Ralliart bushings are very hard to find and getting very expensive.

 

unless your tracking the car don't go with anything spherical/ my spherical rear end links on my elise would only last about 5-7k miles of mixed street and autocross (and that's autocross use/ not even track days)
