Apexi GT Hybrid Intercooler

[kouki_s14]

i was searching around and came across this intercooler, the apexi gt hybrid intercooler for the SR, yes i know its not cheap.
i just got stopped by the size, its 19.7"L X 9.33"H X 2.7"W
would this fit in my s14 without modding the bumper support?
i know 12 inches would be too big and you must cut or remove the support
maybe this will fit? anyone have this intercooler? any ideas?

it's the thickness you need to worry about. i have a 2.5 inch thick HKS core, and i just had to remove a lower flare on my bumper support. I think a 2.7 would get away with it.

thats a pretty nice setup there, how much did that core cost you with piping? or was it a kit from hks?
any idea how much hp that core can handle? thanks for replyin

the kit is like 900 bucks new.
the previous owner of the car got into an acdient and broke the core. So i found this core used from rrr-game.com (basicly up-garage USA) for 200 bucks :)

I believe HKS cores are 2nd best, same with Apexi cores. But ARC is the TOP best.

blitz LM, greddy vslp and hybrid are on part with each other. the internals of the cores are built poorly IMO.
