Radiator, A\/C condenser if you kept it, and now you need a front mount that doesn't force the charge piping into the crank pulley. The SpeedFactory SS-850 Side Inlet\/Outlet Universal Front Mount Intercooler runs a 24x12x3 bar and plate core with the inlet and outlet exiting the sides of the end tanks instead of projecting rearward, which changes how the piping has to route through an already crowded EG, EK, or DC2 engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 24 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and 3 inches thick, bar and plate rather than tube and fin, with a staggered fin arrangement to hold pressure drop down. Bar and plate takes repeated boost cycling better than tube and fin, which is why it shows up on cars that see back-to-back pulls instead of one clean dyno graph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the part worth understanding before you spend money: this is the same core SpeedFactory puts in the DBD-850 Dual Backdoor. Same 24x12x3 dimensions, same 600-850 horsepower rating per manufacturer, same construction. If you're trying to work out which one cools better, that's the wrong question. They cool the same. What you're actually choosing is packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe side inlet configuration puts both 3 inch ports out the sides of the tanks. That keeps the intercooler from needing clearance behind it for the piping to turn, which is why SpeedFactory positions this one for installs where space is tight. The trade is width. End tanks that exit sideways make the unit wider overall, and the numbers back that up: the SS-850 measures 36.5 inches inlet to inlet, while the backdoor version is 32.5 inches end to end on the same core. Four inches is the difference between clearing your core support and cutting more of it than you wanted to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe end tanks are hand formed from H-3 5052 aluminum and fully TIG welded rather than cast. Both ports are bead rolled tube ends, so silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps actually grip instead of walking off under boost. The 8mm x 1.25 aluminum mounting bungs come welded on, so you're building brackets to the bungs rather than drilling an intercooler you just bought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e24\" wide x 12\" tall x 3.0\" thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e36.5\" inlet to inlet x 12\" tall x 3.0\" thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eBar and plate, staggered fin, air-to-air\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eH-3 5052 aluminum, hand formed, fully TIG welded\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlet \/ Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e3\" \/ 3\", bead rolled tube ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePort Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eSide inlet, side outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e600-850 HP (per manufacturer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e8mm x 1.25 aluminum bungs, pre-attached\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e30 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eSF-06-089\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSS-850 or DBD-850\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese two are the same money and the same cooling.

Nothing here bolts to your chassis. On an EF, EG, EK, DC2, EP3, or DC5, plan on trimming the bumper support and fabricating mounting brackets to the bungs. This is a core, not a kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Know Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou get the intercooler and nothing else. No charge piping, no couplers, no clamps, no brackets. On a scratch turbo build the intercooler is usually the smallest line item in getting boost from the compressor to the throttle body, so budget accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBe honest about the power number before picking a tier. If you're at 400 to 500 wheel on a street K20, the 300-500HP SpeedFactory unit does the job and blocks less air to your radiator. The 600-850 band suits a built K24, a sleeved B-series, or an E85 setup on a decent frame turbo. Ratings like this are flow guidelines rather than hard ceilings, so if you're at 580 and still climbing, this is the right shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know if you're also replacing the radiator: SpeedFactory only packages the intercooler and tucked radiator combo around the backdoor cores, not this port style. If the combo is what you want, you're choosing a backdoor unit by default.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVibrant Vanjen flanges can be welded on in place of the standard bead rolled ends for faster, more secure connections at high boost, but that has to be arranged before the unit gets built. Call or email us first if you want it done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLast thing, and it catches people every time: a 3 inch core sitting in front of your radiator will push coolant temps up if your fan shrouding and ducting are marginal. Sort that out while the front end is already apart rather than chasing a hot engine later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003ctd\u003eTurbocharged Honda and Acura, fabrication required\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpeedFactory lists this as a universal application, which is accurate and worth taking literally.
