nisei's "small" street core, which is now discontinued for their larger competition one, outperformed the regular AMS and old BR delux by 40-50 degrees. Their competition core is massive and still retains the crash beam with no cutting or spacers needed. Only 600 shipped brand new for the comp core.

link please i couldn't find it.

there are many factors to be considered when making a quality core. Size is only part of the equation.

You sir are an idiot.


Size means next to nothing when compared to manufacture/construction design.

Quote from the link you posted " intercooler with the largest surface area" sounds like size to me. Given difeerent designs may be slightly better but it comes down to size.

Well I see there is no point in debating then. I guess I'll just slap on a 6" intercooler and call it a day. FYI, surface area and thickness are two very different things.

Actualy there not. you sir are an idiot. Surface area is the total area that is on the out side of an object. Which means in between the fins there surface area which increases when the intercooler is thicker. Theres no point in arguing because you have no point to argue.

I tested the shearer and the new buschur 3.5 perfect fitment and great value in both products. I forgot where the thread was where we logged IAT on 7 back to back pulls and the results spoke for themselves.

3gEclipse- Your right! you're not an idiot, you're a ****ing moron.

Nowhere do you even point out anything rational or informative in your argument.

Please let yourself out of this thread.

We've got some 3.5" ETS intercoolers in stock but if you wanna get a bit more, we got a CUSTOM RACE 4.5" IC that's being run on a lot of Evos down here in the Florida Heat. Including Cwill's Evo 8 who just ran 9.4@150mph and at a great price too.
