***TEASER***


WEWT! Hopefully getting it mocked and installed Thursday!

It is 27.5" x 6" x 3.5" 2.5" outlets

 

Sweet!!!!!!

 

Getting it installed and stuffs thursday hopefully!

 

what brand is that?

 

gona look sexy!

 

I will release everything about it after it is done....

 

How cute, its so small.....lol.... I'm sure it will be better than stock though....

 

Small is sometimes better though! Less pressure drop, and honestly on those big IC'ers come at a cost. Just have to figure out what performs better for your car, a few cooler degrees because of increased cooling, or drop in pressure. For our small turbos, smaller IC's work best. I would easily go w/ a IC designed for 400-500 HP vs the 600-700HP most seem to offer

Keep us informed and get some pictures!

You have the specs on this IC? Pressure Drop, flow rate?

 

The core is not 27.5 is it? It looks smaller than that. It must be 27.5 overall length to the endtanks because the stocker's core is 27 and its fins cover all the way across the opening in the bumper. My Synapse is a 24 inch long core and it looks about the same length if not a little longer then that.

 

Yes you are correct Terminator... it is 27.5" overall... and it is a 500hp core.

Flow drop is ~.5 from 15-20 psi.

 

interesting....i wanna know what company!

 

I wish i could find a core with these dimensions, but instead of being 6" tall, being 9" tall. I think that would be perfect.

 

8" is actually about right... sits just a little lower... bascially you can see it though the holes in the lip!

This intercooler is good enough for just about any LNF for quite sometime...

 

I bet I know..............................

 

Should be big enough but not too big. . My synapse is a 600 hp Garrett core 24.0"x 8.0" x 3.5"
BTW. you might be able to cram some more ignition timing in to your tune now because the reduction in you IAT2s will help prevent detonation. Maybe a few more HP

Nine is too wide. It will be hanging under the bumper by quite a bit and it would be very vulnerable to curbs and hills. 8" is about the max it should be.

 

That's a pretty small core, should of went a core that's at least twice as tall. While that core might be rated at 500hp(really these ratings mean nothing) it'll still heat soak quicker than one that's twice as big.

 

A 12" tall 3.5 inch core will not fit on the front of a TC without serious modification like removing the crash bar. . A 12 x 3.0 x 24 will fit but most of it surface area is blocked by the bumper anyway and bigger is not necessarily better. Too tall with inlet and outlet at the bottom is not really a good design anyway. Most of the air is goin to flow through the lower 1/3 of the core. The upper 2/3 is going to be mostly wasted volume and pressure drop city.

 

Once you start heavily modding your car you'll notice all the safety crap is slowing you down.

While the top part might be blocked there is always some air flowing through it and cooling the core, bigger ic's always have less pressure drop and crazy high efficiencies compared to smaller ones. The agp race ic for the neon srt4 is 95+% efficient, its 24x12x4.5", go big or go home.

 

Street driven cars need that crash bar. It could be the difference between life and death in a crash. As for pressure drops, that rule applies only if the turbo can provide enough volume (not pressure) to fill the core up. Otherwise quite the opposite is true. There is appropriately sized and there is overkill. too big and th IC sheer volume will kill spool up time and throttle response. Who cares on a race car but we are talking street driven cars here.

 

no ****

 

What? Are you talking to me. He does not seem to understand the distinction here between a street car and a race car. That is all.

 

No, I was talking to the OP, he had **** in his thread title...

 

Sorry Reign. Taken out of context. . I thought you were responding to my post about the removal of a crash bar being stupid. That is a no duh thing.

 

NICE IC bro. Not to differ from the greatness of that nifty IC, but has anyone just kept the stocker, and change out the ends? I would like to see how this does in comparison to most others.

 

A little crash bar wont save you in a high speed crash, its mainly there for fender benders.
Read all about the srt4 fmic shootout here, you'll find that the overkill fmic made more power at low rpm than the stock ic. Lotta good info there, and some weird findings about the spearco core.
