I was wondering if anybody bought an intercooler off ebay and what they have to say about it??

 

lol u get what u pay for on ebay.. dont do it.. buy mine instead =-P

 

Yea i actually ran one before. Worked just fine, it was actually good quality and quite dense.

 

theyre fine. people are just hell bent on buying name brand everything even when it doesnt matter

 

With Ebay it's not "you get what you pay for" so much as "it's hit or miss." There are some ways to get better chances of getting a better quality product but it's still a chance you're going to have to take.

 

i was actually thinking of getting this to replace my dezod IC
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CXRac...Q5fAccessories

it is a little bigger and will hold the 400+whp nicely

 

thats who I bought one from and it was nice...when i got my dezod kit the intercooler actually looked identical besides the size. Almost too identical, right down the bead blasting marks.

 

i wonder how much bigger this one will be im gonna have to measure the dezod one i guess

 

zpi use to use an ebay core for their kits....

 

dezods bar and plate is 29x6.5x3.5

 

I don't see anything wrong with it. No moving parts, so unless the welds can find a way to fail...you're pretty safe. An intercooler isn't going to make a huge difference, unless you're really trying to milk the HP out of a car. For a standard kit running 6-12PSI, it should be fine, as long as it's measured properly for efficiency.

 

turbo toyotas uses a cx racing intercooling

 

I don't even think dezod changed the packaging from how it was shipped to them from CX

 

every kit manufacturer uses what you could say is an "ebay"intercooler

Turbotoyotas
Dezod
Ptuning
etc.

They are all "imported" from Asia.

We use them cause they work and it helps keep the costs down.

they are inexpensive, but you do get what you pay for.

No where as good as say a Garrett core, but the market will not support a kit with a $400.00 to $500.00 intercooler core.

ya the posted intercooler with the link says it will hold 500 hp.. so im trusting that it will lol
