It really depends alot of the internals of the core, and how thick they are, and how much of a pressure drop. Honestly, if you have found one cheap and it looks good, go ahead and try it.

Default Re:intercooler diameters and oil cooling

ok no prob cheers for the advice
was just wondering if there is a general rule to follow as such. I'll pick up a few next time i see some and just do a bit of trial and error. Do you rate oil coolers much on honda's A guy i know over here says he used to race them and he got alot of BHP from adjusting valves and cooling the oil.... Mmmmm
I have a water based oil cooler and an air based, was thinking of attaching both if I gotta do an oil return to for the turbo conversion. Only problem i can see is on daily drving I may have to leave the car a bit longer to warm up before thrashing but should rev higher less painfully in theory
