Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, so he is using the core that is meant for the stock turbo which is rated at 775whp, not the larger ones that comes with the twinscroll kits, correct?

I think the cores are the same, both are 8x24x3, but the stock turbo cooler comes with all the piping necessary to run with the stock turbo. The other is just the cooler by itself.

the advantages of a vertical flow core are that they keep the same amount of surface area as a horizontal core (same cooling capacity) but have many more rows for the charge air to travel through. This nets a smaller pressure drop and increased flow capacity as compared to a traditional horizontal flow core.
The amount of time the charge air spends in the core is reduced, does that come into play?

heh whats up man, i havent seen you in years, since Import Auto Salon in Long Beach i think?? Its your fault for getting a new FMIC without telling me!
thanksthe core is a 26" x 8" x 3" with endtanks the dimensions are 26"x13"x3"
the heat transfer coefficient 'h' changes due to the intercooler core. time does come into play but the 'h' value improves more

How much of the spool-up improvement is due to the core being tube and fin as opposed to bar and plate?
Also, would this core cool less efficiently than a good bar and plate core (in a horizontal alignment) like a Garrett?
Would you recommend this core for all applications, or is it more of a drag racing app?

Geoff, how does your intercooler compare to Nisei, AMS or Buschur? The core seems a lot smaller, does this matter? The shorter path seems great for spool up, which definately peaks my interest...... but is there enough surface area to actually cool the charge as efficiently as say Buschur's race front mount intercooler? If your intercooler can keep up with the above, combined with the TS manifold and turbo, then this would be the best of all worlds!! Looking forward to the final testing. Your products look awesome.

yah its been a while
i think it was when we were in the LB and getting lost in Compton, then that wonderful club...and the quick tirechange burnout thingie
yah well i havet looked at your site in a while
but i def am interested in possibly getting some of your stuff for my IX MR
i think i talked Big A into getting one or he saw how much fun and trouble ive been haveing...hell i think my brother in law is getting tired of bailing me out of speeding stops
5 excessive ones this year... he's a dover pd
as for the other doubters
Have you ever seen a slow car with Full Race parts...i think alot of them are the fastest out there so far
Geoff knows his sheeeit...hell he has an engineering degree and has these insane programs that figure out alot of things most people dont think of...
my college days were spent living with alot of ME and EE guys and as geeky as I thought it was they do figure out alot of things i wouldnt have thought of
