I heard somewhere that a vertical flowing intercooler wil cool better than a horizontal flowing one. I have the chance to pick this up for $300, mint condition. The core is 20" by about 7".

Vertical intercoolers are not better all together, however their design allows more cooling rows per given area compared to a horizontal IC (ie drag, revhard, fmax) of the same size and more cooling rows is more efficient compared to just lengthening the ones you have.

HTH

 

man $300 i think you can find a new ic for about $300-400 on this site

keep looking

 

they are more efficient and have less pressure drop...

Thats why I'm willing to pay $300 for one, as opposed to paying the same to someone for one the same size core, that they welded up for them the same price. The guy had it on his car for like a week, then descided on a an air/water. This was on a supercharged mustang. Pretty much only used as a drag car.

did that ic come off of a miata?

 

They do have less pressure drop. That always made me wonder, why do we never see these on Hondas? Is it fitment issues?

 

who makes that intercooler? is it off an oem car? thanks

 

Its from an ATI PRO-Charger supercharger kit for a mustang. Ive been looking around online, and The prices I found on it range $800-1000 for it

 

what about a spearco intercooler 330 shipped??

check out my signature

 

Why, when this is a better unit for the same price? As it's been said, this one will flow better, with less pressure drop. Plus,the core is bigger. .And personally, i Don't like the looks of the welds on your intercoolers. Please don't ***** my thread to hawk your wares.
