Yonaka Intercoolers feature bar and plate cores in applications ranging from 225hp up to 1,000hp. We use only aluminum cast endtanks to give smooth flow characteristics. Plus, all our intercooler products come backed with a lifetime guarantee!



Test: We at CPRacing tested the Yonaka intercooler on a 94 Honda Civic

ITR intake manifold, TB, and cams
B16a head w/skunk2 springs and retainers
old JG Block B16A
Arias 9:1 pistons
Crower rods
Drag manifold
Tial wastegate w/1 bar spring
Profec A (turned off)
Turbonetics T3/T4E
RFL blowoff valve
old tube & fin Yonoka 24x12x3 intercooler
Custom IC piping (fuzzynutz)
Custom 3" downpipe (fuzzynutz)
880cc injectors
AEM fuel rail
stock FPR
255lph fuel pump
NOS wet kit w/35hp shot
3 bar mar
Hondata stage4

We used one of Yonaka’s older intercoolers which was a 24x12x3 which is suppose to be less efficient then the current intercoolers they have on the market now. The car was on 18psi (no nitrous) the car made 430hp we made four pulls on this car with about 10 minute breaks in between after the first pull the air inlet temps where at 75 after 4 pulls the air inlet temps where at 84.



Comparing it to another Shop car here

88 CRX

Full Race Stage 1
T3/T04E
10.1 compression
LS VTEC
GSR Cams
Probe Pistons
Eagle Rods
Manley Vale Springs
Manley Retainers
Manley Valves
Hondata S200
AEM Fuel Rail
880cc Injectors
255 Walbro Fuel Pump

This car had a PWR 22x11x3 back door intercooler on it this car was on 11psi made right around 300hp on the first pull we saw a inlet temp of 74 by the fourth pull we saw 94 inlet temps.



I know this is two different setups on two different cars but it shows you the Yonaka Intercoolers are just if not more efficient than other intercoolers on the Market we plan on tuning the CRX on high boost in the up coming weeks so I will let you all know what the higher boost levels do on the intercooler kits.

Is Yonaka the name of the company who makes those ebay intercoolers or are they just another distributor of them?

specifically boostcooler and xo2racing?

Yonaka makes the coolers http://www.yonaka.com

looks like another end tank design where the air would only flow through about a 1/4 of the intercooler?

The air inlet temps show what they show, its not like boost is not making it through the intercooler the car laid down 437hp.

Turbo-charged

im not saying it doesnt work.....just saying there is room for improvement.

Cprace1

well which intercooler are you comparing it to on the market? I am not saying its the best like I said we only tested it compared to the PWR. I would like to know some other peoples air inlet temps with similar setups

Most of the guys where I'm from run Yonaka FMIC's with great success .For the cost of the FMIC's you can't go wrong,I've never heard a single problem with anyone using one of there Intercoolers and these are High WHP cars using them.

I have a couple of Yonaka parts on my car and I couldn't be happier.There products are good quality and there customer service is top notch.

Cprace1

agreed good prices, we have there swap mounts on one of our race cars never had a problem and also running some of their intercoolers with no issues

coneheadsracing

y7/y8 15 psi. Cold out, like 50's i was seeing 90 degrees with a dsm sidemount, tucked away.

SPOOLINmatt

25psi and 515 hp on an sc61 for me with that exact intercooler, cant beat it for what i paid. we will see how far it goes with 30-32 psi and a t67 next month

Dragline

What was the before and after temps like pre intercooler and post intercooler temps, also if you tested one car in the morning and the other in the afternoon there could of been significant differences in outside air temps that would make the whole test this test is no good without before intercooler temps and after temps..

SPOOLINmatt

all i know is, when dyno tuning, my hot side end tank is warm/hot and the cold side is cold, like it doesnt feel like any type of hot feeling, cool to the touch.

boosted92

FYI: on higher horsepower setups you will see some very nice gains by cutting one end tank off and flipping it upside down so that the inlet and outlet are offset on the core of the intercooler. I did this on a friends car for the purpose of getting better ground clearance for one side of the intercooler piping, and was very suprised with the gains.

i have the intercooler pictured above and have seen IATs in the 90s as well, much better than my old one

What boost are you running at?

I just don't see how the Yonaka intercooler can cool more air then the PWR intercooler that has centered inlets and outlets and longer end tanks which is going to evenly distribute the air through more of the core then the Yonaka's shorter end tank design with off center inlet & outlets. I just don't see it happening.

If you are saying that this intercooler is more efficient then a PWR at the same size....keep trying.

It seems like it might though, and your right, you wont see it happening*sarcasm*

interesting idea with cutting the end tank and flipping it, but that **** seems like it would cost a lot of money, tig welders aint cheap men to deal with lol

SiAutoX

those style IC are junk....they dont flow worth sh*t....the air is being forced into it and then it hits a flat wall, there is no telling which was the air is going to travel when it hits the wall.....testing has shown that you get un equal ammounts of air on every dyno pull......bad design
