MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: Truck Intercoolers Tue, 23 December 2003 22:25 Don't believe the blanket 'Truck cores are crap' BS that is propagated by the aftermarket industry. I've made numerous cut down truck cores and have a good deal of experience with them (made them on the side to fund the crown build-up). There are some types that are poor for flow, but equally there are very very god ones. specific examples are the Garrett and Valeo cores. Both flow brilliantly and have exceptional heat transfer properties (far better than most of the automotive cores available). The last time I saw the JPC VL (it had run 9.23 at that time) it was fitted with a garrett core. In short, look for a core with large passes and a good degree of internal finning. The whole argument that 'trucks don't rev' is absolute rubbish-air is air, heat is heat. As for the crap cores-as a general rule of thumb, if it came off a Volvo truck-throw it in the bin! Having said that however, now that new cores have come down so much in price, cutting and welding up a truck core no longer really makes economic sense unless you want the ultimate in flow and size. Just buy a bare core from PWR and make up your own tanks. In the end it'll cost only 100-200 more than a modified truck core. Take it easy Sean [Report message to a moderator]
