    Default I need a custom sized intercooler made, where in Brisbane?

    Ok, so as part of the SC14 supercharger upgrade I'm planning, I'm planning on installing a front mount intercooler.

    I've done the calculations, and worked out what size I need to make it fit, and I've come up with the following:





    Is there anywhere is Brisbane I can get something like this made? Due to it's design, I doubt anything off the shelf will be close.....

    I found ARE to be fairly expensive good work but expensive. Do a search for alloy fabrication intercoolers in Brisbane there are a few different companies around.

    Just went to Extreme Custom Engineering. I was quoted $1300 for a cooler to my specifications supplied and fitted, complete with stainless mandrel pipework.


    ARE gave ma a ballpark figure of $800 for the cooler alone.


    Sound reasonable?

    I'd go to Craig. The work he's done on my cars was excellent.

    Yeah, I saw a Craig radiator on John Duel's X90 race car. Was top notch.
