i am goin to start making the endtanks for the core i got for my evo 8 next week when the aluminum gets delivered. im sure people have seen where people have welded ramps for the air in the end tank, it looks like it may spread the air out mor evenly across the core. i wanted to get some input to see if this is something i should try or am i just going to be wasting my time. thanks

 

Hell if any thing, its more thermal mass.

I would think it would work, its along the same lines as an OEM brake air guide,, just a ramp to direct air. I see intercoolers that have the inlet and outlets very low and level, makes me wonder how dispersed the warm air charge is really getting. The bottom quarter of the IC seems like it would be prone to hot spotting under severe duty. I think it may be the reason the OE IC has that angle of design. Make an endtank and leave it unwelded from the core, smoke test!

 

thats a good idea, do you think the air is going to act different under pressure and speed?

 

no ramp.
pipes are near the bottom that is the most exposed part of the ic.
and the test will not work.

 

your end tanks will be limited by your fab skill/tools
if you have a press break then like the buschur. if not then like ams
