My intercooler core has become a passive coolant injector.
If you have a functional replacement, or know of one that’s available, kindly PM/email details or simply reply in this thread.
TIA

I'm in the same boat. Except mine has been leaking since last year. I did a chemical radiator flush, and it helped keep it from leaking for a couple of months, but it continued. I'll be still waiting for my wallet to get fatter and for the C3P unit to be released. The only problem I can think of happening with this continuous leak, is that there will be further clogging up and restricting the air flow, but I can't see this causing engine damage. I imagine if a chunk of this coolant crap broke off and entered into the combustion chamber, it would just burn up. How ever my biggest concern is that it might start pissing and cause a misfire.

As long as you're not pissing too much coolant in there, it should just vaporize away. For now, you not only have a poor man's water injection, but you also have an oil flushing system to clean out all of that Mobil 1 that gets blown into the intake.

Good idea, he might have a couple prototypes laying around. Ummm, mine was stolen Brandon, so I'm going to need one too.

I bought the stuff from AutoZone/WalMart. There are 2 cleaners involved. Drained and flushed the cooling system with distilled water. One of the cleaners was a 3 hour cleaning, filled with distilled and cleaner ( hours can be achieved over several days). Flushed again with distilled water, and filled again, add part 2, coolant flush chemical. (15 min ) turned on heater to flush heater core too, drain and flushed several times more with distilled water. Topped off with RedLine Water Wetter and Distilled. I went through about 12 Gal of distilled water at .75 per gal. $3-$6 for the chemical cleaners, and $8 for the Water Wetter. I chose not to use antifreeze for AZ, since it's not cold enough and the Water Wetter has anti-corrosive properties in it.

We're looking to release it in the next couple weeks, we're sorry for the delay. We want to ensure we fully test the unit on our car before final release.
On a side note, shoot me an email and I'll see if we can help in some way. Wink wink.

Also, we know you may or may not hit your target price, but what are you shooting for right now? A general range would suffice.

And I'm not saying its not leaking so I don't see how they are suckers.
If there is a way to fix it, $65 is a steal

I can see how buying yours can help keep out any down time by repairing your intercooler and not having the car all torn apart. I think it would be a good idea to buy yours, find a supplier of the Laminova, or Spearco core and cut and weld it the new one in. would be kind of time consuming too though.
