How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00626.jpg
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00627.jpg I got this for free from my dads work, Dont know what its for exactly but I thought I'd make it in to an intercooler. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00628.jpg Each one of the bars is .4 or .5 of a centemeterin diamiter, so lets say .4 X 24 = 9.6 = 96mm /25.4 = 3.7" so the combined area would be 3.7" of bars for the air to travel through. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00629.jpg The hole for the front mount, I still have to do body work on the car. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00630.jpg Interior taken out to get the car ready for work and painting https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00631.jpg This side I have to grind out the rust and weld new metal in with holes for the clips. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...3/DVC00632.jpg This side was not bad, had a bit of surface rust, I grinded it down to bare metal primed it and used rubber coating on top, about 3 coats, the car will also be oil guarged after the paintjob, so nothing is going to rust on me anymore. |

That will not work as an intercooler.

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
use it as a heat exchanger for a water to air intercooler. Thats what it was designed for (heat exhanger)
|
Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
looks like a A/C core, i don`t think there`s enough passage for the air to go throught.

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
Ok i'm gonna ditch it then, and save up for something else, I thought it might work.

that could really cool my transmission! :)

Maybe if you modified it like such, cut all the little u-bends off to allow air to flow and then put some end tanks on it. Doubt the flow rate through it would be too great but if you need a cheapo one that bad would be super ghetto :P

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
guys, you cant use a heater core as a intercooler, we use those in the rerigeration systems at work...
nice try tho... id rather use a dsm sidemount than that thing. |
Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
man o live, retards...
you can see the tubes running through the cooler little tiny tubes. |
Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
The ignorance in this thread is strong :-\
Listen to what everyone is saying. It absolutely CANNOT be used to cool air, in fact you would be better off pissing on your stock pipes, than attempting to use that heap of ----. |

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
now that everyones saying no. id like to see what it could accualy do if you attempted to use it
hell computer heat sinks are going to ---- that looks like http://www.resnet.northwestern.edu/t...c03%5b1%5d.jpg that using heat pipes opposed to using an all alumnium fin heat sink. maybe it would work. but ----. since everyones saying no try it anyway. test the capability to cool charge air. with that vs a normal tube and fin intercooler. |
Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
I dont know if I wanna test it, lol if I do I'll get flamed, I dont see why air wouldnt move through it fast enough though, but I think i'm just going to stick with a Probe intercooler for now untill I can get something better, but ---- it really, I'm getting a better job soon and am going to maybe buy another LS motor and build an LS VTEC with ITB's, i've always wanted to build one is these, i'm not going to put more money in to this car anymore since next summer i'm getting an EK civic hatch.

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
and auto tranny coolers too.

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
hey just found someone how is able to make some by his own. I just bought one for 50$ nice size and values completelly new.Don't forget it's home made so don't try to encourage uncustom guy.
respect hmt for their nice work O0 >:D |
Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
you can make one oil cooler out of it. only one.

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
holy ----, somebody should take your tools away! :-X

Re: How effective of an intercooler will this be (pics inside + random stuff)
1. in order to split that into more than 1 cooler you're going to have to weld alot of u bends to the pipes after you cut them in half.
2. PC coolers, as cool looking as they are, are just ridiculous. Heat pipes and what not are an invention because intel doesn't know how to make cpu run cool, and fast, like AMD. |

Heat pipes and what not are an invention because intel doesn't know how to make cpu run cool, and fast, like AMD. they are starting to realise now that mhz is different from pure brute force processing power. kinda like the ppc processors and risc processors. risc processors have amazingly small heatsinks. mainly because they are low on mhz, but they are amazingly good at processing. it just depends. what i would suggest you do is hook up some somputer fans to it, hook it up to some oil lines, and stuff it in the bumper somewheres. |
