Default ER ICs Installed!!!

Big thanks to 808Guy.. actually he did most of the grunt work. Also some other peoples but they don't post on AW.

Thanks to Jay@JH Motorsports and EvolutionRacewerks for the opportunity to purchase these bad boys.

Jay: I got your email with the pics after we had already installed it but thanks anyway. )

We didn't use the AC Condenser/Canister relocator, we did however cut off part of the frame rail and the stock mounting bracket for the old ICs. Also I wish the kit came with more than 6 T-Bolt clamps all the old clamps I had from my Samco hose kit are craptastic. Only snapped one pic after the install but will post more later.

Also 1 question for those that are running these, are you utilizing your stock shrouds? Are they modified?

did you have to trim the frame rail because you didn't use the ac canister relocator bracket?

Default Looks good

I was supposed to help a friend install a set of these this past weekend, but we ran into a part issue (a lack of the stock IC hoses).

Was everything fairly straight forward? Did you have any random unforeseen items pop up?

Because IAT delta isn't about airflow to the intercooler.

Default with shrouds it comes down closer to ambient

I have the prototype ER shouds on my car and they get painfully close (about 6 degrees F over ambient).

stock shrouds worked but were quite a bit higher than ambient.

Default It's about.......?

A bit pretentious to poise a statement that you obviously know the answer to but then not give it.
