MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: intercooler differences Thu, 11 July 2002 22:00 In theory, the taller, shorter core will be better over all due to the fact that that it will keep airflow velocity down-thereby reducing resistance over the longer core (the relationship between velocity and air resistance is not linear-ie 2X the velocity will result in far more than 2X the resistance)-that is assuming the same area of cooler-ie 200X800=400X400. HOWEVER-thats in an ideal world. Considering that you are't fitting this to a 10 second car, and also that squeezing an 800 mm wide core into the front of most road cars is difficult, the thing that matters for you is which is easier to fit. Pick the one that will fit as the performance difference will be negligible at the sort of flow (and core area) you are probably considering. If you are going to go with the taller core though-a couple of flow splitters in the tanks would be a good idea to distribute the flow a bit better-as a 400mm high tank will not get get very even aiflow-don't consider this a downside though-it's easy to rectify. Experience-manufacturing custom intercoolers for fellow revheads for the last 3 years and an engineering degree. cheers sean [Report message to a moderator]
