J need change my intercooler , and J watching on ebay universal front mount ic, and j think take 2.25 (57mm) inlet and outlet, but my friend say to me, to J need a 2.5 (63mm) ic.... Engine is stock, and J need for help...

Hmm, I think this is wrong section for the question(was also thinking that what the heck is the "J" but it prapably stands for "I"..?). But I did it like this on my urs4:
It's a 300x450x75mm IC with 3" inlets. I leaved the stock IC in serial wit the new one.

Well, I couldn't notice any difference with the pressure and behavior when I added the front IC. I did also improve the stock IC breathing like this:
So, would it be any difference if I put a bigger front IC and remove the side IC? The stock IC is quite big after all, only the air breathing is poor...Last edited by Thuppu; 23 April 2011, 20:09.

The trick with intercoolers is the most heat transfer occurs when the temperature differential is the highest (that is why my graph is initially so steep). As the air flows through the core and the temperature drops, the rate of temperature drop decreases (law of diminishing returns). In contrast, the pressure drop is a function of the core configuration (passage-way design) and the length of the core. Assuming similar core designs between your FMIC and the OE SMIC, the SMIC-in-series is adding a lot of pressure drop but not very much temperature drop. You would probably be better with a thicker FMIC core but with a "Euro" spec bumper, I don't think you can go much more than 2.5" (65 mm) core. In NorthAmerica, our bumpers stand futher away from the radiator and A/C condensor and we can use 3" or 3.5" FMIC cores with out too much cutting and trimming of bumper plastic. Personally, with my NAmerican (Canadian) UrS4 bumper, I am now running an Apikol FMIC system (with Samco hoses) an no OE SMIC.RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

So, what does the pressure drop mean? Like I told, couldn't notice any drop on the boost gauge. The front IC is 3" thick.
