Thread: Cheap big IC? (ebay)

universal intercooler core unit 2.5 inlet 18 x 9 x 3" - eBay (item 300394494693 end time Feb-13-10 14:40:51 PST)

its a tube and fin design. I would look for a bar and plate.

I never understood why ones better then the other. All stock intercoolers I've seen are tube

hehe I got a delta fin design! Supposedly best of both worlds. I really don't know why one's better than the other either, but supposedly has to do w/cooling ability vs ease of air flow. I think bar and plate flows better but tube and fin cools better. Something like that, maybe visa-versa.

good reading on the subject.

I have owned both styles but I have been running a bar and plate on the last few setups.

a few people that i know have had luck with both styles but i prefer bar and plate

jagy i have a ebay tube and fin one. my nx wich they are known to run hot runs hella cool overall.

for the money get it. mine supports 300+whp without a hiccup and im sure itll do more no problem.

stratton.
