Would have to call Kevin Monday on intercooler.

Yes ECS kits come standard with Ti trim now.

I confirmed this at PRI with Vortech, the Paxton 1500 is a Ti Trim. I think I can make 900 wheel with one-in a few months we'll see.

Yes AGP will sell you just a FMIC, and yes over 100rwhp gains just from a FMIC.

How hard to fit the AGP intercooler to an ECS kit..and is 100rwhp accurate for a stock block? That seems insane gain from jus an intercooler and no other change

Wouldn't see that on a ECS kit at <1000rwhp levels, but the PC fmic isn't nearly as nice. That was a F1R car, that was making ~750rwhp to 850rwhp through a big stall auto.

Shouldn't be hard at all, worst case modify 2 pipes or some couplers, but I can't say. ECS makes a nice core. I do think the AGP core is better, but not sure if it would be worth the ~$600-1000 to swap unless you are at 1000+hp.

Now a PC kit, I would do it right away.

Someone in Phoenix bring an ECS car to Kevin and I'm sure he could have a bolt on intercooler upgrade in a day or two knocked out and then sell a few if people really wanted.

Do you know the core size AGP uses Nick? I'm working on building a bolt on 22"x12"x4.5" core for the ECS kits. That's the biggest core I think I can bolt on without much modding-I figure just the 2" 90 degree hoses going into the car may need to get trimmed down. Worst case the front bumper support may need some trimming but I won't know until the front end is off the car.

I wish the CDN dollar wasn't so bad or I would be just buy the AGP cooler.

I think I can make the replacement ECS cooler for around $700 CDN which is around $500 US right now.

This would be a bolt in replacement cooler for the ECS crowd-just trim the hoses and swap BOV's.

The core should flow around 1500cfm and the end tanks will have flow directors to dissipate the air throughout the core.

Arun, I'll check when Kevin gets back from playing in the snow. I'll make him give you a special deal since your cool.

I didnt see a tuner kit listed, i wonder if he could sell me a kit minus the fuel management and intercooler? No big deal if he cant but it sure would be helpful

I have an Ecs kit now attempting max effort from the ti1500 and i made a custom front bumper support and went with a bigger treadstone intercooler... I will be honest about Ecs kit there install manual is awful they even have pages out of order and have not fixed it. When I ordered the kit direct from Ecs it was missing parts had to get that sorted out then found a couple of things I during the install that where crappy had to Open up a couple holes to get one of the brackets to work also there is a couple spacers that are not me mentioned in the instructions u will most likely have to call and ask about or be very observant on the first install.. I have now removed and replaced my kit several times this year due to other changes on the car and it's a walk in the park.. I think to make a intercooler like agps work u would only have to cut a couple of the rubber couplers but u will have to get the bov welded on to one of the other pipes I have mine now in front of drivers side wheel fits great.. I can't speak for performance yet as I am waiting on my built motor to be done... I think the prochatger kit is comparable but everyone I have ever talked with says the bracket/tensioner is better in the Ecs kit
