Re: rate this intercooler
 

anything that looks too good to be true, usually is. 2.5" endtanks pretty much suck for my tastes. what are you thinking of putting this on? Engine and especially turbo specs would help alot. but seriously, cut the bullshit and just buy a jrc8"

Re: rate this intercooler
 

There was just a thred the other day about how bad these things suck, search for it in Genral info under 60 dollar intercooler, alot of people posted they tried them and they flowed worth ----

Re: rate this intercooler
 

it looks small to me do you have the dimenshions for it?
i ahve a 93 civic with a 9 inch tall intercoller that i could bearly fit on it

Re: rate this intercooler

it's running a equal length e-manny, t3/t4 57 trim .63 a/r housing with a
stange 3 wheel, 38mm external wastegate, 255lph fuel pump
standalone engine management exe.

Go with CCA or JRC

Re: rate this intercooler
 

can some give me a link or place to look for a CCA or JRC I.C.
what size would you recomend for my set-up.
thanks for all the help so far.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

what's wrong with 2.5" endtanks??

Re: rate this intercooler
 

werd, we dont boost high enough to even run an intercooler than large , least most of us

Re: rate this intercooler
 

You can find CCA at www.SSautocoach.com or http://www.Isellchinesegarbagenobett...hingonebay.net

Re: rate this intercooler
 

LMAO

Man, if you're going to buy an Ebay intercooler, at least go big.

Who cares how much it flows? How much does it cool is what you should really be asking...

Re: rate this intercooler
 

2.5" endtanks might be ideal for road races that do not have a lot of straights....less space for air to fill=the faster it gets to the throttlebody.

Buy a used SRT-4 intercooler...they are pretty good.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

regardless it has been teated and failed, waste your money if ya want

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Regardless of what?

Tested for flow, big ------- deal, you can have your intercooler that is more efficient at flowing are through it, I'll take my intercooler that cools air better.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

"regardless" of its flow or how cool it cools, it has been used by a couple of HMT users and deemed a PIEACE OF ----, thats all im saying, just trying to let the guy know to YOU BUY SOMETHING CHEAP YOU GET SOMETHING CHEAP, plain and simple

Re: rate this intercooler
 

im putting one on my stang, we'll see if it works good or not. my guess is ill never tell the difference

Re: rate this intercooler
 

No, first you said it didn't flow well, now you're just saying it's a peice of crap. Did HMT users do a comparison to some other, better intercooler, or is this just a case of it not being a CCA or JRC cooler, so it's obviously crap. ::)

My guess is the same as yours, what size are you putting on?

Re: rate this intercooler
 

same one as the guy bought

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Cool, I've got a 24x12x3 with 2.5 inch tank inlet/outlets on it, should be in use in a few weeks, I'll keep you all posted on how crappy it is. ::)

Re: rate this intercooler
 

I really dont think it matter that much.I will run $60 intercooler in all the basic sub 300hp kits i do.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

dude i dont care what he runs, i am not running a cca or jrc intercooler so im not bias, but it looks like you are sense you are gonna be using one, have fun with your shitty intercooler and stop being a cock ;D

Re: rate this intercooler
 

the links dont work
You can find CCA at www.SSautocoach.com or http://www.Isellchinesegarbagenobett...hingonebay.net
is there any other links or links to the other i.c. your talking about.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

lol ;D

Re: rate this intercooler
 

LMAO, yeah it's all the same china cored crap, doesn't matter whos name is on it.

Thanks for believing the hype peenmysoup. :D

Re: rate this intercooler
 

The ebay intercooler looks ok to me-- it has decently shaped end tanks, and how much worse can it flow than any other intercooler? It has cooling fins and slots that air flows through, just like my cca intercooler. If it doesn't leak at all, and its only $60 and you're on a budget, why not use it? Tis the spirit of HMT.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

i just got mine in the mail. looks like an intercooler to me. we'll see how it works

Re: rate this intercooler
 

I think I'm going to nab one for when I turbo my lil bro's dx. (after the mini-me, mpfi, and obd1 swap 8) )

Re: rate this intercooler
 

That's the problem, it flows too well to do anything worth the hassle of installing the pile of piss.

Thermal transferrence from a thin gas to a solid metal REQUIRES FRICTION. Best all-around way to get the required friction is a LOT of surface area. A good tube/fin core with well designed internal fins inside the tubes is the best possible way to go. Failling that, if you have to pick up a bar/plate unit, do like Minor Threat did and get as big a unit as you can fit.

I have seem no back-to-back IAT logs for different ICs, for anyone to deem any IC a piece of ----. I know I've got enough .dlf files squirrelled away with different IC/turbo/etc combos to prove anything I want to, but what I'd like to see is you putting your money where your mouth is and prove your point with some datalogs or thorough tests.

FYI, I am cheap. I buy cheap, but I get inexpensive quality parts.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

we might as well all be going with SSAC turbos now then too sense they are cheap right

Re: rate this intercooler
 

jus so all you can suck my penis, im using an intercooler jus like that on my 240, but mine is bigger. its the XXL 32x12x3 with 3" end tanks, it flows like a charm. no xtra lag, maybe a 2psi drop if that. crank up the boost to make up for the difference.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Plus the shipping on that intercooler is $50, so you are spending $100. MArketing techniques.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Well yea thats all im saying, Im not trying to bag on anyone using this intercooler or anything, i asked about this intercooler 3 weeks ago, its just after you pay shipping and everything, you chould have bought a JRC intercooler for about 40 bucks more (if his website was ------- up). I bought a 8inch JRC slightly used intercooler of ebay for 62 bucks shipped. But to each his own and i hope the shizzle works out for ya.
Peace 8)

Re: rate this intercooler
 

I tuned a B16 with chinese .50 trim T3/T04E clone Thursday night. It ran pretty okay, I'd guess 250-ish whp at 8 psi.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Well im sure it did, but as for me, i like something that is gonna last, Only time will tell my friend. Is that turbo still holding up on that kids car that jeff did? Intrested in how long these things acually last.

Re: rate this intercooler
 

Jeff says yes, as of last week.

This turbo has been abused; bad oil drain on this engine AND on the engine it was hooked to before it, but it's fine.

However, I know of four bad ones in the WNC area alone, with at least twice as many in good shape. If you check the SSAutocoach thread where Random Hero says he has had good luck with one of the makes of .50 trim T3/T04E pictured? Yeah, they are all those.

Two of four T70 I've personally touched are still running like champs... although one of those only has 250 miles on it :l Which I guess is okay, because it's a warranty for the one that the compressor nut backed off of after 50 miles. :l
