9042, Late 80's Saab 900 Turbo intercooler
Posted by DeanoD, Nov-09-01 02:20 PM
Does anyone know anything about the flow rate or HP ratings for the 900T sidemount intercooler? I am thinking about using one with my Star Stage I kit.

I am also considering using a 2GS-T side mount or a 1G sidemount. I am still only going to boost 5-6psi, but want a cooler charge of air.

Any other ideas besides a front mount? Please do not say water injection :)

get a Mitsubishi Starion front mount from a junk yard. Front's look much scarier and you might as well if you plan on uping the boost ever.
9045, well........

I have the grillcraft grill in front and I do not want to block my radiator. I have the side grill that allows airflow to hit directly on the intercooler without anyone knowing. I am going for the stealth/sleeper 2g look.

I appreciate the offer on the 2g sidemount for sale, but I have a couple of them available at our shop. The only complaint is that they get heat soaked pretty fast.

Anyone know what CFM the 2g sidemount flows?

I've heard both the 1g and 2g side mount IC's get heatsoaked pretty easily. Maybe a aftermarket side mount IC is what you need. hope you can figure out what to do.

The stock supra intercooler is prettu good and some Saabs are too. If you have to get a DSM get the 1G.

Yeah I got a Saab 900 sidemount from the junkyard and sold it on ebay, haha that and a MX6 intercooler, and a audi 5000S intercooler! bwahaha intercoolers galore. Yes the supra one is pretty big. The Saab 900 is nice though because it has fat ass flow tubes and looks easy to install, if you can get you hand on 2 of them you should weld them together, that'd make an even better one. haha you should get a starion intercooler like me for 5 dollars at pick n pull. :) there's another saab intercooler thats nice but it's really big though, it the size of a radiator so I don't think it'll fit.
DOn't forget piping, couplers, and stuff can also be found at the junkyard, bwahaha ^_^ <===== junkyard intercooler kit! :P
