CV Fab Intercooler in Prototype Stage

[StoneColdBlue22]

@CVF-Jason does your guys intercooler come with bottom supports like the mishi and whipple, also is it too late to jump on the group buy? Would it be possible to pick it up in person, looks like you guys are right down the street from me according to your instagram page.

Received mine today. Looks mint, hopefully I’ll get it installed in the coming weeks.(I didn’t realize how massive this thing actually is)

Yessir! Just got mine as well. It's a beast!
Yes it comes with support brackets for the bottom. No installations instructions yet so will have to use one of the "other" install vids for installation.
I will install mine next month while the wife is out of town (her car).

I change my previous statement. Maybe we should have a bit of the differences in installation, if there are any?


I got mine in the mail today too.

Hopefully mine will be here soon...

I put mine in over the weekend, overall it went well. I didn't have have any directions either so I just watch the u-tube videos for the Whipple Intercooler. CVF intercooler fit well, just two problems. The hole for the sensor screw wasn't threaded deep enough so it wouldn't tighten up, so I just added a washer. It does come with two legs that bolt to the front and then they have a pin that goes into the cross member that holds up the radiator and condenser at the bottom, I think it should of come with some type of bushing but it didn't, I just made my own.

Took it for a drive when I was done and it really made a difference. Much smoother power delivery without the turbo lag.

Noted on the points! We always consider customer feedback to make revisions so thank you for the points.

The included bolt may have been a bit too long rather than the thread not too deep, to be honest - I'll have the guys take a look.

Looks great, did the crash bar cover any portion of the intercooler?

 

[MadMTNBikerNC]

It does just like it covers part of the radiator.

Just ordered mine, I look forward to the delivery and performance, just not the install....

Stock - IAT tend to be around the 70s off of cold start, engine at 180. Launch at this level with the ZFG 93 tune was absolutely insane.

As I drove through traffic, I saw my IATs were closer to 180 and 190; definitely heat soak. You can absolutely feel the car tighten up and reel back timing to compensate.
After installation, I hope to stay around the IATs in the seventies and eighties consistently.

Sounds good, let us know how your testing goes.

Just received tracking on mine

anyone have issues with installing and the tabs on the back like the Misimoto one seems to have? im waffling between the CV and mishimoto since pricing is similar.

What tabs? I have mine but haven't installed yet.

Thanks for the link!
I'll have to look at the intercooler when I get a chance to see if it even has the tabs?

I know cvf doesn't have installation instructions yet (new product) but there's enough vids and info I don't think I'll need them.

For what it's worth in the 1/2 batch we've had go out there have been exactly 0 installation concerns/complaints sent over to us.
