I'm planning on building a front mount set-up and would possibly make two or more units, one for myself and sell the others off. I'm not quite sure if anyone is interested. I'm planning on the unit being placed in front of the A/C condenser. The top tube would enter were the stock IC sits now, into the front of the car. The outlet tube would return from the same location, mating up to the plenum.
Tube design would be 11 or 14 gauge 2.5" aluminum tubing. Tubes would be fully polished by hand. The tubing would be similar to where MP routes their tubes now, but both tubes would enter and exit the front of the car where the stock IC is now. The radiator would not be moved. A shorter condenser or removal would be needed however.
As for the price, I can't give a definate answer. I need to size the IC core to fit, and price out all the mandrel bent tubing. The tubes would not be in one peice, but peiced together, welded, the welds would be ground down, and then the tubes polished. I'm sure it wouldn't be flawless like a one peice design, but most would never notice.
IC core should be large like the MP unit, or the largest i can fit behind the bumper.
I estimate the entire unit would cost roughly $800-900 after all the work is being done.
I haven't even started on this project yet, but soon i will. Once i make my unit, I prob. wont be making anymore, just due to time, so not sure if anyone wants to get in on this project before i'm completed.
I'm sure there will be tons of questions. I'm 100% positive that I will be making my own kit, just not sure if anyone else is interested, if thats the case, I'll order two of everything.
