Biggest intercooler that’ll fit?

As per the title. Looking to make around 650 whp with my swap and looking for what’s the biggest intercooler that’ll fit? If I have to trim the bash bar that’s fine.

I don’t know if he means off-the-shelf or max core height, depth and width.

That actually helped me out a lot thank you! The one I was looking at has almost identical specs in sizing! Now I know it will definitely fit.

Sorry I meant Max size. But the jdl intercooler sizing I know fits my v3 RB bumper and the klmfab one has very similar sizing.

You'll need a custom unit sized to whatever bumper you're using.

But it says 700hp, and you want 650whp, which is over 800hp. Maybe you need something bigger.
