Hey guys i'm lookin to install an intercooler soon and i wanna know if any of you guys reccomend a certain brand i know that comptech makes one but are there any other brands that maybe work better???? OH yeah and are there any other non-FI mods that you guys can think of??? I already ordered a set of XS Headers.... All opinions are welcome

 

are you talkinga bout tranny cooler?

u dont' need an intercooler if you dont' have any sort of FI right?

 

i'm not sure..... i was reading a thread where they were reccomending another member get an intercooler and he didnt have FI so thats wut i'm kinda confused about....oh and i just went on comptechs website and they only sell a trans cooler not an intercooler.. any other members have anything to say???

 

Please read up on what an intercooler is and what it does prior to thinking about buying one. An intercooler without forced induction (FI) will not do anything for you, which means you either need a supercharger or a turbo set up in order to use one.

Whatever thread you read, you either misread it, the guy actually had FI, or there was incorrect information being dispersed.

As for performance modifications, I'd recommend the simple bolt-ons such as the XS headers (which was a good buy on your part), cold air intake, and then if you want for minor additions, pulleys/exhaust. Those will be plenty for a start, consider the major modifcations, such as forced induction later on.

Especially for someone who is not very knowledgable about aftermarket modifications as proven (no offense meant), it can get fairly complicated to take care of and that's how cars have serious problems, so start slowly.

 

I thoguht either i read it wrong or someone was giving incorrect info.... oh yeah and no offense taken i know i'm not an aftermarket mod genius especcialy when it comes to FI but i like to think a know some stuff....why do you have to be so mean j/k hey i see u live in jersey where in jersey do you live are you close to hackensack???

 

UR Crank pulley! and I see you already are in the market for a CT icebox.

Exhaust doesn't get much horsepower in these cars because the factory exhaust is very unrestrictive.

 

Someone was talking about a water/air intercooler for a N/A setup. I think maybe GM#2 or someone. I remember that back a while ago.

 

I think i know what this kid needs... An interfooler.

 

HaHa very funny ya ass i know it was a noob question but lets drop it... oh yea and heres a big on my part

 

I'm in Glen Rock, about 15 minutes from Hackensack, was just down by there this evening.

 

Nice my grandma has a house in Hawthorne, which as you know is like right around the corner from Glenn Rock and i'm up there alot...maybe i'll see you drivin around some time

 

[Add an intercooler to your N/A CL-S.

Guaranteed 50whp!!!!!

 

We can meet up sometime, just send me a PM, I can give you a few tips if you need

 

So Air intake(which one is the best), xs headers, UR pulleys, exhaust, and what else is there to bolton that will give you easy power without FI? Maybe Cams? Vtec controller? Computer Chip?...

 

Comptech is the best intake IMO and i've heard that a vtec controller doesnt give you that much power and that it is pretty much worthless unless you have mods, meaning dont put it on if you are stock.... oh yea maybe an intercooler
