Do you mean like 2 is series ???.

Re:custom intercoolers?
i mean take two dsm or saab intercoolers and have them made into one.

Re:custom intercoolers?
i dont know the exact formula, but yeah, the more surface area the temperature charge exchanging unit(intercooler, water or air) has, the more the more effective its cooling properties will be. lots of variables though. Engine bay temp, size of pipes, turbo, blah blah blah. itll be an improvement.

Re:custom intercoolers?
I think he means splitting off the end tanks and welding 2 together, either to make them thicker or longer...
Yeah more cooling area = more cooling so it will work fine, just make sure to water test it after its welded up |
Re:custom intercoolers?
im going to make 2 dsm smic into 1 fmic. do the entanks NEED to be shaped differently or bigger since itll be flowing more air?

tttt

Re:custom intercoolers?
I'm planning on welding 3 dsm smics together. I'll chop the tanks off one, one tank off each of the other 2 smics then weld custom pipes on the end. Should be a fun little project. total cost (free welding) = 70bucks. (I love junkyard finds) If I get to it anytime soon I'll let you know how it turns out.

Re:custom intercoolers?
I'll most likely reuse 2 endtanks and just cut/block the old pipes and cut for new piping.
