which intercoolers are better?the precision intercooler seem so much cheaper..wondering why..

 

oh yeah i will only be boostins 9psi daily or so..but like 20+ at the track every once in a while..i was looking at the 31.5x8.5x3.5?precison

 

That seems pretty big. What car is this going in, and are you willing to cut the bumper support if needed?

Both are very nice intercoolers. Most PWR intercoolers are expensive, because they have custom sheetmetal endtanks. Precision has been able to cut costs by using cast endtanks.

Sheetmetal is shiny'er...

 

http://www.cheapturbo.com has good prices on pwr intercoolers

 

which is better? the precision, bar and plate is a better design imo. ive had a pwr and seen the precision, big diff. precision uses garrett cores.

Excellent... I'm glad to know that I was one of the first

 

we should have some data/results of the PWR vs the Garrett core later this month.

Of course its going to be the pwr.

 

Both are great choices...I used to always reccomend PWR but I now really like Precision's intercoolers.

 

i dunno, im running a garrett core on my car

 

Me too..

 

How much heavier is the precision. I was told that the Precision intercooler is pretty heavy.

Also, how are these compared to a Spearco core?

 

I know my precision is heavier than a similar sized spearco counterpart, but maybe someone has an exact weight difference, as i would like to know as well

 

are PWR intercoolers the only ones that allow a "back-door" turbo set-up?

 

I have an AIC-750 Precision intercooler. It's going to be BBE coated black in a couple weeks. As far as which intercooler being better. I only have an opinion as I have seen no comparisons/tests between the two.

 

any cooler u get endtanks welded to would allow this. that is just a full-race option on the coolers to work w/ their manis

 

up

 

what additional info do you need?. everything is in this thread. the bar and plate is highly efficient. the endtanks are cast for cost reasons but only serve aesthetically. an angled endtank regardless of cast or sheetmetal/aluminum is better than a square tank. the garrett cores are very nice(what precision uses) and they are a lot cleaner between the fins than most tube n fin.

 

im waiting on those test results

BTW, PWR is coming out with a lower cost cast end tanks option for their intercoolers.

 

I'd like to know too since i'm lookin to buy b4 the end of the month....
