If you want good flow then id be doing some serious investigation in to just how good a truck intercooler will be before making a decision

hey its the man himself!

yeah i heard truck cores dont flow very well...

do you remember who it was that went to micks metal craft?

i might have a talk to him...

flynsx reckons his gze stock made 4psi so if mine is making 7-9 it might not be a stock pulley...

ah well
cheers

NVD05X: Hey, IRA11Y told me u wanted info.
Yeh generally ~6-8psi is what you expect from a stock gze depending on what generation you have. i.e AFM or MAp etc.
Yeh i got my i/c piping done thru Mick metal craft and its great.

You want an intercooler which most importantly has good flow characteristics. A few good ones are RX7 series 4 or 5, supra 7mgte or 1ggte i/c, and 3sgte air to air. Autospeed did a review couple yrs back.
Also make sure ure i.c piping diameter is just right Smile

thanks dude... i've heard that micks metal craft is a bit expensive... but i guess if you want quality, you have to pay for it...

did you get them to make a custom one for you or did you use one from that list?

everyone that has said truck coolers don't flow well obviously hasn't used one. everyone that has used one said they were great.

everyone who hasn't used one said they were crap... but how do these people know.
i talked to a few people in town about them and they said they were good.

anyway. my plans changed with this truck cooler.. if you want to buy the whole thing off me it's your for $350ono + postage.

it's 870x670x65

Out of curiosity all these people that used the truck cores and said they were great, how many did efficiency testing with temps before/after, pressure drops across the core, temp drops across the core etc as you need to do before you could really declare an intercooler to be "great"?

PS- Ive always found Richards words here to be very useful and may be of help
