As title says, looking for a leak-free intercooler that goes beneath the supercharger. PayPal ready for immediate payment.

Cheers,

 

BUMP... Still needing this one.

Salvage yards are being extremely unhelpful, either by refusing to confirm condition, or having the intercooler confused with the heat exchanger (very common)

MrMoPar has two complete SRT motors available, but refuses to part them out.

Mileage is not important, as long as the exit/outlet is clean and leak-free.

PayPal ready.

Cheers,

I do not know what this looks like I must admit, but that price is a long way from this part. Does this part (item 1) fit inside the IC housing?

This is the part he is really wanting: 2003 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK32 AMG Parts - Discount Mercedes-Benz Parts

Not cheap by any means.

 

New is $960 @ OEDiscount, and $920 at parts.com...

A shame to pay nearly a grand for a part that is no better design than the $400 used units. Assuming, of course, the used ones aren't already ruined.

 

If the stars align I should have an extra intercooler in 5-6 days. I'll let you know tomorrow. Sorry, but I can't say anymore than that.

 

Cool beans, keep me posted man. I have $$$ ready and can drive up to pick it up.

Cheers,

 

Gee that is costly, wish we were closer, Id love to see if there is a way to go air to air, for that money it makes a look see worth while. Diagnosing the old one is even more interesting and potentially valuable for the forum members.

Agreed, ATA would be nice but I can't imagine how to (tastefully) do the plumbing. WTA intercooler isn't bad, as the water channels are half the height of the air paths. Even with ATA intercoolers you're at the mercy of heat soak and ambient temp, unless you're blowing chilled air (and at that point, may as well run a Killer Chiller).

I haven't forgotten about ya, I will arrange shipping once a proper replacement is sourced.

 

G-G, what will the owner say when he comes up on his car and sees the hood up and the motor gutted?

 

He'll probably note how bright the stars are, and how that must have aided me in pulling it off.

 

JHM2K;

My thoughts were that the I/C could be removed, S/C would be lowered and INVERTED ( flipped over) so that the outlet would be up then piped to the ATA I/C and back to the intake manifolds { manifolds could be possibly turned around with the inlets up front - forward }. Just a few thoughts but room for thought. There would be plenty of hood room, just custom piping but Ive done that before. Thats how I thought up the DCAI approach - copy and flip this pipe over and add a tee at the intake of the TB.

If more of these I/C die, then there will be an audience for this option. Plenty of room for the ATA I/c, the super cooler proved that for sure. OBTW the intake would be thru the hood and pure cold air hood scoop, just dreaming here, hope I dont have to make it happen too soon.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Sorry John, but it's not looking good. I think the guy was trying to scam me.

By the way, have you looked into having the intercooler repaired and maybe getting the cores upgraded at the same time? Just a thought.

Is this part all welded up so as to be non repairable?
If so then I am sure that an industrious person could cut the welds and repair it, how hard can that be? It's not rocket science, it's a pity Super Mario does not have a SRT.
What part leaks generally, can it be welded or epoxied in a low pressure system?
Any pics of a disassembled part anywhere?

Thanks, that looks like a bear to take apart.
Could be done though, just need the right man for the job.

 

Ouch, that sucks.

I checked out the link, not too keen on sending my part to OZ...

Looks like I'm screwed. I could send the intercooler to BIP in Atlanta and have them take a stab, and pray it doesn't leak. Or pay the MB tax and buy new.

 

Guy on MBWorld did exactly this. Made his own composite runners and flipped over the SC. Name was MIDO.

 

17 days to go. better get with the program!
