2JR Full Race Front Mount Intercooler

Maybe the Canadian cars have different crash bars?

To date, we've sold 42 I/Cs and not one was not able to install it - loosening the crash bar allowed the I/C to slide into place. I believe Steven @ 2J walked you through the install on the phone for about 15mins. We also know from the moment it arrived you havent been happy. Our answers weren't good enough in these threads and its been one big headache for you. I think that has lead to your frustration and at this point, even if it fit - you dont want it on your car. The moment it arrived, it should have been returned for the 20% restocking for new/saleable products. Based on the video, we know that isnt the case.

I'm sorry this happened to you - but I can assure you, with patience and skills - it fits.

We have a product on our site called a Balance Shaft Delete Kit - it removes the balance shafts and adds a windage tray. When it was released, no one could install it as the balance shafts (7lb chunk of metal and gears) have to be carefully maneuvered to clear the aluminum upper oil pan. For us, it still takes us about 20 mins of just carefully rotating it before it will drop out. And thats 20mins during the final step of a 2hr process. With patience and skills, it can be removed. In turn, it adds another 1.25 qts of oil capacity and reduces a far bit of parasitic drag - like running without AC and PS. After the initial sourness about the install, now - we sell an average of 10 a week. Its a very popular product. Same happened with the cowl induction intake we sell. Lots of complaints about noise, install, etc. Now we struggle to keep it in stock.

So were there ever any dyno results? Is this a decent option?

What kind of charge air temps are stock turbo guys seeing? I'm going to be selling my 2J intercooler soon and someone who may be interested in buying it wants to know. I only ran it with the cyborg turbo so I can't give him an accurate answer.

My friend who got his installed is honestly seeing lackluster results. Like, 15 degrees above ambient on a pull in situations he'd see 20 stock.

Thanks for the info..

I assume +10-15 is mediocre? So what kind of temps is considered a good IC?

I am running this IC and see 10-15 degree increase on 3rd gear pulls with a tune+ pro tune. The charge temp stays pretty close to ambient but begins to spike pretty hardcore around 5k RPM, duplicating your cyborg results [MENTION=952]frankiefiesta[/MENTION]. These results were the same in 30,40, and 85 degree ambient temps. The IC does a pretty good job shedding heat when I'm carving twisties, though.

I am also not running the heat shield over the stock turbo (was gone when I bought the car) and I could possibly be getting a decent amount of intake air heat soak as a result of that. My intake does have gold thermal tape, though.

Curious to see how this IC reacts to the DHM quickspool kit when it arrives...

C to F conversion formula is F = 9/5C + 32 and F to C is C = 5/9(F- 32).

So my intake temp being 60*F and charge temp being 75*F (15*F difference) would equate to 15.6*C -> 23.9*C --- 8.3*C increase.

Are you comparing intake temp to charge temp? Ambient may be different than intake due to heat soak from the engine bay.

I know how to convert... but what I mean is when I hear 15°F difference, all that gives me is -9.4444 Celsius... lol
I can't do the conversions unless I also know the original temps.

I'm comparing my Ambient to Charge Temp. My Intake and Charge temps are usually exactly the same, maybe different by 0.5-1 degrees, celcius.
