As per the title.

Does anyone have these lying around? One of mine was recently damaged.

 

Many thanks,

There is a pair of Greddy SMIC on fleabay

Thanks mate.

 

Yeah I saw them but them but thought, are they actually much good, I'm sure I remember people complaining about them in years gone by

This comparison might help you. The Greddy is better than stock and will fit the stock intercooler shroud more or less, but the biggest one might be more worth your money. No performance data though.

 

OVERALL SIZE

Stock is 6.5"H x 6.75"L x 2.25" D = 98.72ci

GReddy is 6"H x 8"W x 4.5"D = 216ci

Godspeed is 8"H x 11"L x 3.5" D = 308ci

 

CHARGE FACE (how much air it can flow) (square inches)

Stock – 14.625

GReddy – 27

Godspeed - 38.5

 

AMBIENT AIR FACE (frontal area) (square inches)

Stock – 43.875

GReddy – 48

Godspeed - 88

 

I wish I could find the details of the PACE ones to see how they compare. Weren't the greddy ones really expensive to buy

I had a set of Greddy on my car previously, thought they were good value tbh

What you got now mate?

The Godspeed ones, let's call them the generic Chinese type or GCT for short as they all seem to be the same are massive, but surface area isn't everything. What you need to know is how efficient the cooler is, to measure this you would need to know resistance value across the core and the % 'C drop across the cooler. Obviously if you can't pass as much air that's bad. I have no doubt though that these incredibly cheap coolers will out perform dirty 20+ year old coolers half thier size. What is debatable though is that a smaller cooler like the Greddys/pace/stillen could actually be more efficient.

I will at some stage be fitting the GCT coolers, hopefully this winter if funds allow. I've got a different more urgent pair of issues to tune out the car this winter as it is.
