For Sale. Stock Heat Exchanger
like the title says, i have one stock HE for sale.
marked improvements over stock set up with just one HE, and upon the horridly placed cobra units.
its larger surface area, larger fluid capacity, and proper placement upon the main cooling stack for proper low speed / static air flow and proper air draw with the fans on put it above all other HE's
worked wonders on my 2.5 car but with the new A/A IC i have no room for it.
say $100 *OBO*

air is a fluid, and just like all fluids it fallows the path of least resistance when flowing.
the cobra, when mounted all ricer style in the nose, often leaves a gap between it and the main cooling stack.
the cobra is now a restriction to the air when your sitting at a light, in the staging lanes at the track ,ect (low speed / no speed air flow) and the fans kick on to save your ass.
now the air is pulled beneath the cobra, and thro the main stack via the fans.
only when you seal the faces close together will the fans pull there majority of there air thro the cobra.
if your not pulling air thru it, the metal gets hot from the fluid, thus becoming a heat sink, at low speeds the hot metal can drastically limit the temp change and often add heat to the IC fluid...
thats bad.
the stock unit has the perfect ability to sit fact to face with the AC condenser and eliminate this effect.
