looks good man. do they have ICs for the turbo lsj's? will this one work? am not too sure the brackets are the same tho..i really like the look of this IC! GL witht the install

 

^^ it would work with the turbo LSJs. Just probably need to remove the factory heat exchanger. and make your own Intercooler Piping

 

yeah I have stock charge piping all over but I have to replace it I'm down. LOL I'm going check it tonight to see whats happening.

 

there is no heat exchanger once ur turboed sir the piping i have already i just want to know if the mounting brackets are the same from the lsjs to the lnf

 

it mounts to the bumper support bar so it should be the same. once you tighten the center bolts down the brackets will "give" and the intercooler will fit perfectly.

 

im only saying IF cuz ive seen some guys that kept the factory heat exchanger instead of goin to an AIR to AIR intercooler

 

Dammit, I got the elbows without the flares!

 

Im sure a good speed shop can throw a bead roll on the end

 

I doubt you will have a blowout to be honest... if i do recall most intercooler piping you buy isnt flared lol atleast my injen wasnt

 

lower charge piping looks perfect but my car is still running like ****. no hoses have come off and all the most i pulled the stock coupler was an inch forward during the install. All the couplers look perfect and there is no noise coming from anywhere but my car won't stay in vacuum and sounds like a subi even more.

I may have to just take this thing back off. FML

I really hope there is something i clearly did wrong or else I'm calling out tomorrow and taking it to a shop.

 

Do you still have the plastic charge pipes? If so follow the seam where they "weld" the two halves together for cracks. Also check underneath where it mounts to the manifold by the hpfp

 

meh if i was off tomorrow id take a look at it...

 

I'm going to take off tomorrow and put the stock one back on and see if it happens again. Nothing worse that your car running perfectly until you go in an upgrade and then its way worse than stock. SMH I hope there isn't anything wrong with this intercooler because it looks so good.

 

I doubt it... It's probably something else to be honest...

 

and you live reallllly far from me lmao... otherwise i would come in the morning... dont work till 2

 

I'm going to try a boost leak test tomorrow after i get the bumper back off and hopefully I'm missing something because it was a task getting that bumper off

 

question to everyone before i go to install this on saturday... lol do you have to use the plyers on the ends? or will it really slip off?

 

the intercooler is flared out so you don't need to. the coupler has enough work to do to slip after its tightened.

 

The ones that were sent out Monday are flared. if it was sent out b4 that they are not flared.

Oops sry you said intercooler. lol! intercoolers should all be flared but pipes are like i said above.

 

I just called a local shop and they're gonna bead roll it for me. I'm pretty excited.

 

This man has it right. If your car sounds like a subie, you damaged the IAT2 sensor wiring or the sensor itself.

 

Its fixed! I made a boost leak tester and my factory charge pipe was leaking by where the plastic clams meet the coupler. replaced all the factory couplers and now its running like a champ. It almost seemed to get used to the intercooler and ran rough for about 5 minutes and even died but then it come back on and the longer I drove it the better it got. Now its back to normal and I even blew off a coupler. Maybe a flare on it or a bead roll would have helped. Intercooler looks and now it performs just like stock.

 

Maybe you need some strength and tighten those T-Bolt clamps... lol and your ecu had to get used to the intercooler, happens all the time when i get a diff part

 

Intercooler is on be ready for my full review coming soon. P.s. my cars fuel trim started going crazy too. I got scared cause I definitely wasn't making full boost. Reset the ecu and its all good. I don't like the crash bar pressed against the ic endtanks... I had to manipulate and bend the aluminum mounts to move the ic in.

 

This is what I knew would happen after my CS IC install. That's why I went with zzp.
