upgrade IC to fit stock piping?

[Mr.PFloyd]

well i found that my coolant leak wasnt from my rad, its form my IC . Now i need a IC to replace it. Which one would od best to fit stock location adn piping? is stock my best option as well?

 

[robbo185]

coolant leak from your ic????

there shouldnt be any coolant leaking from your intercooler... chances are that your coolant resivour spit coolant out onto your intercooler, making it appear that your intercooler is the culprit. the only thing that should be in your intercooler is air.

really? hmm that maybe the problem. im gonna go take a picture now.

yeah man, do it up. not unless you have an air/water IC, which, chances are, you dont. you'd probably know if you did. i'm betting it's your coolant resivour. the next step would be to figure out why your coolant system is pressurizing!!! (possible BHG)

thing is the car isnt runnign and its nopt really leaking. tis just soaked at one part. Car hasnt been turned on since winter began either. could it somehow be connected to me takign the 3000 pipe off and polishing. i still ahvent put the ic piping back on until i get my air filter.

what they are tryign to say is that there is no physically possible way the coolant is coming from your intercooler. Maybe somebody was topping off your overflow tank and spilled it on the IC?

your IC is just really beat up, so i am not going to disagree with your decision to buy a new one

aww why u be a hater haha. but seriosuly i hate those damn rocks. oh and i knew what they were trying to say... its just werid because on top of that there is no coolant on the ground yet when you touch it its liek freaking leakign down your hands.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

any ideas as to why its just soaked at one part and dry at the rest without turnng thecar on?

 

[shaeff]

are you sure it's coolant?

i looked at mine and the over flow drain from the OF tank dumps right onto the IC? might explain the coolant there..

 

[flubyux2]

Seriously man, the Stock IC is tied to the coolant system. i have a stock IC in good shape... it can be yours for $40+shipping

but would it still be pressurising if i havent started it in a long time?

eh, no. if anything, it should have sucked the coolant INto the motor.

when i did my bgh fix i DID have coolant inside my intercooler. i was pissed, as I had to remove the bumper to take it out and empty it. for future referance, is there an easier way to remove stock IC?

k today morningright before school, i tried to get a second look and get some more on my hands of this liquid. today it was gone. i bet it was just a lot of overflow that i guess didnt leak just attached itself to the IC. thx for all your help guys, i was a little worried there..

 

[GreenChevelleSS]

Is there supposed to be a tube on the cap for the overflow that goes down into the bottle? I just looked at mine and theres only a small nipple on the cap and it only extends down an inch into the bottle?
