Jack's Infinite Bar and Plate Intercooler Install

Andrew - Bro Jacko Wacko's back with the latest round of mods. Words and pictures from the man himself..

Initially I'm quite adamant in upgrading to a Bar & Plate intercooler. Reasons is not on based on any performance gains or losses but base on space constraints on the SGTi bumper. Already the EVO 3 intercooler involves cutting a lot of that bi#%h expensive bumper and knocking of the front frame. Upgrading to a slightly larger IC will bring nightmares to my Intercooler piping guy. I'm praying hard that I dont have to cut up the bumper more.......

However, since the price of a new B&P intercooler has gone down tremendously, it'll be silly not to get one. Furthermore, the polish aluminium bling bling look is hard to resist.

Actually this intercooler is slightly shorter than the EVO 3 unit but lenght wise its longer by approx 1 - 2 inches. However, since its a B&P design the core is relatively larger than the EVO 3. Beauty of it is that the pressure drop will be less. The stock EVO 3 intercooler is well known for quite a drop in pressure.


Placing the IC at a correct location and mounting it is easy as it comes with welded on screw bungs. However, as it is longer than the EVO 3, I choose the hard way of re-routing and re-welding my intercooler hoses instead of buying off-the-self SAMCO silicone hoses. This alone took half a day!!

Intercooler hoses was finally completed and polished an hour after lunch.

Putting back the bumper was not easy.. it will not fit the first few times and only after adjustments to the bumper and some force did the bumper finally fall in place. I was relieved that I dont have to cut anything. Decided to maintain the stock look for some stealthy encounters. Overall, the cost is less than them SAMCO hoses.

Andrew - Man!!! This car's evolving faster than myself or Jack can write articles bout it's mods. Just look at the picture above. Bloody fierce looking IMHO. You don't want this sight lined up in your rear view mirror anytime. Since this picture's been taken the Monster's had it's CPS cf bonnet Aerocatched. Stay tuned for more Jacko Wacko mods.
