Anyone have an Apexi intercooler on their teg? Pics? If not, do they make a core that will fit?

Most use the Silvia Core w/ Endtanks, but piping has always been custom or from a RevHard piping kit.

Very few have used this on DC2s for some unknown reason, but it actually extremely good.

The Hybrid Inter-cooler Series uses an exclusive cross flow design on all the cores. These cores are the only cores designed specifically for front mo...unting. The front of the core uses a delta fin type face with two different types of fins. The fins at the base of the delta wedge are tightly packed while the fins at the top of the delta wedge are loosely packed. This allows the channeled air flow at the base of the delta wedge to cool more air while the loosely packed fins on top prevent any unnecessary wind turbulence. this is a very good design, but it is also very expensive. a silvia core will run around $1200. then you need new endtanks, and you need them welded on. this is becuase apex doesn't make one for hondas. they make them for dsm, supra, rx7, silvia, and skyline.
the one person i have seen with one used a skyline core rather than the silvia core on his 2.2L b20 vtec drag hatch

hey brent the info you posted is very resourceful, but your pricing is wrong. the core itself retails for 595

cox import

oh cool, i thought they only sold the whole intercooler including endtanks. I did not know they only sold the cores. my bad

 

[TKBLAZER]

its cool man, you can get the silvia or skyline core only and pick out which end tanks you want to use depending on application

 

[StyleTegGSR]

why the hell does no one do it?
i thought since they were $1200 for all the other cars it kinda drives people away

the silvia core is $600 list price...about 5 on the net, but it's over 9" tall. Will I have to modify the bumper? They also sell one for 92-95 civic but don't give the dimensions. Price is $1000

 

[StyleTegGSR]

if its 9 inches tall you will have to completely remove the bumper support.
I never knew they made one for hondas, it may be just a small box shaped intercooler. thats how alot of 92-95 civic intercoolers are made

 

[TheShodan]

It's similar to the one they use for Civics. They made a specific one for the civics. I wish others would use it more often

 

[TKBLAZER]

only reason they made a civic specific application was due to the fact that they used to make a turbo kit for the car..
