Re: air to liquid intercooler questions (h22civic2)
Funny last time I checked heat transfer was independent on the overall geometry of the heat exchanger (air/liquid core). The ONLY two factors that come into play are the area of the cross section for conduction, and the area of the surface for convection heat transfer. You can treat the fin aspect of the heat exchanger as a convection case, which is still soley dependant upon the surface area. There are far to many variables to say the barrel cores are garbage.

I know for a fact that the 6x10 pwr doesn't cool anywhere near as good as even the small spearco...

Re: air to liquid intercooler questions (tony1)
Here's what my setup behind the front bumper looks like. The reservoir on the passenger corner, the heat exchanger in the middle.
The WHOLE setup runs about 2 gallons, and I ran 32 passes on the dyno in 2 hours flat without major heat soak. The water was only air temp, so it never really warmed up at all. MAYBE 10 degrees over ambient.

Re: (ScootinIntegra)
That depends on how much boost you run from which turbo, what intercooler core you use, how cool the water is, what ambient temps outside are... etc etc etc.
How about a few more details, Mr Oblivious...

Re: (h22civic2)
here's my setup in the works. PWR intercooler, 1.5 gallon reservoir i made to fit under my bumper on the left front side. My battery is located under the right side where the above car's cell is. Jabsco pump, and a decent (12"x10") earls cooler w/ fan for the heat exchanger. Have yet to drive it but i'm not to worried about cooling, i made the reservoir cap large enough to slip frozed water bottles in there! better than small chunks of ice i figured. piping is routed behind the bumper.
tons of room thanks to this!

Re: (h22civic2)
My heat exchanger is just a standard 4 pass oil cooler from Cool-Tek, I think. It's got 8an inlet and outlet, and it's pretty standard. Like $40 from Summit racing.
I don't have a part number YET, but I will soon. I have to order another one. That one got bent up when the front end of my car dropped off a trailor while moving the non-running thing.
