Core size: 300mm X 600mm X 90mm thick

 

 

I'm sure Bubuche can recommend this kit as he has the same one on his zed.

 

Thats interesting!!! Bubuche was charging £460 from your GB and the actual price is closer to £380 :slap: looks like our little french member was trying to make a little bit on the side :nono:

 

Its amazing what comes out in the wash

No Bubuche wasn't selling those particular ones Mike but the HKS copies, different altogether :rofl: !!!

The pic he posted didn't show the same IC as in the GB. It had twin POPs for a start.

if the intercooler is too big, it can have the opposite effect and caurse too much pressure drop in the air going into the engine, you would notice this on your boost gauge as the gauge works on intake pressure, so if you where producing 15lb on your boost gauge with pressure drop you would now produce 12lb on your gauge (not actuall figures)

 

unless your running high boost a large front mount intercooler is unnessecery. the higher the boost being produced from the tubs the hotter the charged air so the cooler and denser it has to be hence why you need a large front mount and the pressure drop wouldnt be so significant as an engine producing 9lb of pressure, due to the higher boost being produced in the first place, the idea is to have the least amount of pressure drop but the most amount of heat transfer you can get good heat transfer from an intercooler that has a small pressure drop if it is designed correctly, and not too big for the boost being produced

Indeed. If people are going to copy ICs, why don't they copy one of the uprated side mount designs? :confused:

i think its coz they dont have the same asphetic appeal, also got the risk of some coont putting his boot through the front mount

Look Chaps What is being said by some on here is from experience and not brand snobbery.

 

I had an Ally rad made a few years back. Its a loverly thing and well made and quite a lot better than my old standard rad. It coped with 15 PSI and mappin very well, but as soon as I put bigger Tubs on it couldn't cope with the extra heat generated unless i run without the aircon rad. The fact it is 40% larger that the OEM and looks like a Koyo or a How means fook all. IT's down to the quality of the Core and its ability to transfer heat.

 

The Well know brands spend a lot of time with sponcered cars running different set ups to ensure that the core designs will exchange the heat and retain the correct air flow and presure or water flow depending. That is why generally they are more expensive, because there tested and known to work before there sold.

 

Who make this FM and if they had tested there own cores the wouldn't be trying to sell them of as some body elses coolers. That alone tells me they will not perorm as they should. Just think about it.
