After having some slight overheating issues I decided to order a cheap ebay intercooler.

When I took delivery of the package I almost injured my back trying to cary the box upstairs. the box was really heavy.

well I opened the box..............
to my surprise....

Bar & plate radiator.... WTF....???





I think this is just an intercooler core with honda end tanks.
Anyone thinks this is more or less efficient than a tube fin radiator?
weight is 15.5 lbs.

MAD JDM VTAk ENGINE INTERCOOLER YO!!!!

looks like you voided your warrenty by taking that sticker off your car lol

 

Looks like a normal tube and fin to me.

 

No it's not I'll have to get a closer pic.

 

wait, i'm confused, are you talking about your radiator or your intercooler??

 

its probably an intercooler core

holy rust turbo, id send that out to be coated along with the dp piece from turbo to vband

 

I've tried using intercooler cores and did not get good results. The coolant passed too fast through it, and not enough surface area fin wise.

well how does it run on your car?? good/bad??

 

well I think it's more efficient than the thin single core radiator I had. The core on the inside are actualy tightly packed. I'll try to get a pic tommorow. But it's still nothing compared to a fluidyne or koyo.

Plus the fact that my downpipe runs right in front of it doesn't help either.

so what happened to this?

 

still using it. no overheating issues...but at 15lbs...its not a good choice.

 

no overheating but still you say it's not a good choice??

 

Its 15 pounds, so Id say its a bad choice too... Thats one hefty *** radiator...
