I started this thread so as not to hijack poor Coupe-T's thread!I've more than enough data to confirm what I say, maybe (kj16v) you should look a bit harder into the subject before being so sure. Try both and argue with me, then you'd have foundation to doubt (or maybe you'd not :)) I'm not in the camp of that'll do, it works, I'm thinking whats best and why and how to do it. Fair to middleing? not I.
The misunderstanding is quite amazing when I look at the likes of the link above, far far more susceptible to lag than an intercooler with an emphasis on increasing charge air core cross section. I haven't said the evo intercooler is rubbish just that it's not what it might be but for levels round here it'll do more than fine. GT_SEBO you should read my posts more carefully and be sure you know what it is I am saying rather than jumping on the offensive so quickly, some research on intercoolers, lag and the reasons for it would be something you should research, I've done enough to be sure what I'm saying.
I wasn't questioning your understanding of intercoolers. As I've already said: Your theory is perfectly correct. I've probably read the same books as you!
What I was getting at is that particular i/c, with an inlet at the top and one at the bottom, the you showed just wouldn't fit! (well no without having to make hack the car about)
It's good to know the theory and have an 'ideal world' solution, but in the end your gonna have to make compromises. There's a reason why most i/c's are long and thin, because that's usually the only thing that will fit!
)it's a discussion of differing opinion, chill man.
"heated" no good getting heated or we'll need an intercooler!
