Re: First JDM photoshoot of the season (PICS)
if that intercooler was 12 x 20 x 3 it would have a volume of 720 square inches
the standard cca 31x6x3 would have a volume of 558 square inches.
the 31x8x3 would have a volume of 744 square inches.
while his intercooler looks small. it actualy has more surface area/volume than the 31x8x3. so.. even if it looks funny who cares. This website is not about looks. The same reason we dont care about car photoshoots in jdm garages :P

The slimfan idea is a pretty good one though, I'm just hacking the ---- out of my bumper.

Its probably becuase of the 4 door bumper, they usually make the car look wider. Who really gives a ---- on intercooler length, ladies love the girth.

I seen people using 12x31x4 and making big power. if I have pressure drop I just up the boost to compensate for it
compare 2 cores with the same surface area except for one is long and one is tall, the tall one will outperform it. There's reasoning behind it but I don't feel like typing it all

Re: First JDM photoshoot of the season (PICS)
what are the reasons? It seems like if you had a taller core, with the chargepipes at the bottom of the core. the heat would have a tendency to stay to the top of the intercooler, allowing alittle extra cooling time before it shoots straight acrost. But, i dont know the exact reasoning of it.

Re: First JDM photoshoot of the season (PICS)
the taller and shorter cores are more efficent because of how the air moves through the tubes (or bars) on the inside. Our long and not very tall cores force the air to make a long trip through a thin tube, the tall cores have more fins and much larger endtaks, allowing more air to go through the core at one time. Its hard to visualize, if you have ever seen a procharger intercooler- they run the air in the top and out the bottom of a long core like ours for better flow.
