Here are some photos of my new direct fit SMIC custom intercooler for my 89 Baron. It was made to spec by Bell Intercoolers. It is a high performance IC with dimensions of 10X12X4.5 with 2.5" I/O. It is rated at 400 HP with a 1.5 psi drop @ 25 psi inlet. So the cubic inches is 540 vs. 230 for the stock. This keeps the pipes short and direct with no plumbing or cut up front end. I am planning to add a pvc or aluminum sheet diverter damn in the grill to redirect ram air to the IC. I still have my AC, so I cut out about 4"s of heat sink fins on the condensor coil to allow more ram air. I only had to move the radiator over 1". I'll post pics after it's installed along with my head porting, forged Venolias, ported 2-piece and TU cast ex mani. I wanted to try something simple, easy and stock looking.
