Have any of you guys gone to ebay for an intercooler? if so, are the deals worth getting? Just curious if an $89 intercooler is any good?

 

You get what you pay for.... thats all im gonna say.

 

Yes they work actually. I had gotten one for my DSM and it worked perfect.

 

Look for Johnny Racecar brand intercoolers. You do get what you pay for, but JR is pretty good stuff.

 

whats it go for?

 

$125-$150


all pressure tested up to 30psi

 

i got mine for $115 it was a good size too it was on my old car, i had it pressure tested at a shop and sure enough it held the 30psi i was surprised. so ya i would buy from there again.

 

did it come with the piping or just the cooler?

 

many people from wrx forums purchased their intecoolers from ebay and they seem fairly satified. Then again you can't expect them to be as durable and the quality to be as good as name brand intecoolers.

 

Ive seen 700-900 hp F/I LSx series engines using them. They are very popular among the F-body and vette crowd. Hell there is a shop Exotic Performance plus or somethign like that, that works on everything from grand ams to ferraris and Ive seen them install ebay intercoolers on very high Hp cars.

 

watching

 

I figure they'll be ok. If I build me a custom kit I'll be buying an eBay intercooler. I just dont see the value in buying some $300+ intercooler.

 

I like the way 4 people voted against them but only one expressed his reasons. Which was, you get what you pay for. Not really much concrete info behind that. I think on a matter like this whoever votes against them should atleast give reasons.

 

ebay nah no good

 

no pics in sig....

 

do it work?
