WTS: S.A. My Custom IC
Edit - posted in the main FS section now that it is off the car. Pics off the car posted.
The short of it. I have a 24x13.5(?)x4.5 API core custom FMIC built by BIC in Spring Branch. Custom end tanks, inlet divertor, uses factory(Darn near) pipes, mounts behind with factory bumper, yes, keeps the bumper. The price is 900.00 flat. I have decided that a stock IC isn't worth much but considered it in the new price. I worked at the shop that built this core so I am selling/trading it for what it is worth, not what I paid for it.
(?) It might be taller. I haven't measured it in a while. I believe it was 13.5-15. Huge.
The core is honestly rated, not ebay rated, to handle in excess of 800hp. It uses American constructed vacuum braised API cores and has mounting tabs specific for the Evo 8/9. It is the only 4.5" thick core I know of that retains the factory bumper, with a small notch, and is a one off custom build. The core alone without an inch of weld or a bend on the brake would cost in excess of 1400.00. The mounts are double reinforced and uses 1/8 aluminum for the end tanks. The tanks are welded inner and outer for increased strength and were constructed with 40+ psi in mind.
The why and the not so much of it.
I am giving my Evo to my wife. My evo has an APR Evo 9 front end which doesn't allow the bottom divertor panel to be installed so with a core this size in front of the radiator and the AC core, the AC shuts off after about a minute when the AC core overheats. This can be used on a DD car, but even given a stock front end, expect the ac to randomly shut off in excessive heat, if you still have the AC installed. For a track car, this is as big and good an IC as you can get.
My car, which made a very measly 300 WHP on the Dyno Dynamics dyno, gained 12 HP and 27 ft/tq with no change to the boost or map after installing this core in place of the factory IC. I cannot guarantee results to be linear but the overhead with this core is massive.
Pictures of it in various stages.
During installation...
Behind the bumper, small notch is made.
Inlet divertor..
Core on the floor...
The big picture...
PM me with any interest. Lowballers should consider the cost of duplicating this item before sending me anything less. At just 5.00+ an inch, which isn't even close to reality, for professional TIG welding, it has almost a grand in welds alone. Thanks for looking and I hope someone can make good use of this monster. My focus has switched to my GVR4 so upgrading the Evo and the parts it has on it have become less important to me since the wife just doesn't care.
