the ic has arrived bloody bulky and heavy - 5.8kg lets see wat it will weigh after mods

taken 1.5 hr to slice it - so thick r the walls
had to cut the core to fit in the frame 3 times
always wanted to see how the bars r made, thought they r thin walled, no fuckin way - 5mm thick! also have no idea how the fins r fixed to the plates, obviously by dot welding, but the work looks just to labourious, i had to use jigsaw to separate the finned parts - they hold together tight as!
u could break ur leg with the cast tank if dropped on it

WOW, this is looking bloody great Surt! Love it.
You should get next to no pressure drop with that intercooler as you've chosen to be able to have the end tanks on the long edge like that.
Rough rule of thumb is that the cross sectional area of all the passage ways through the core needs to at least equal or be greater than the cross sectional area of the up pipes going in and out of the intercooler to minimise pressure drop. A quick way to work this out is (core length X core width / 2) . The divide by 2 bit is because roughly half the core is passage ways and half is the blanking plates inbetween. Then obviously just your 2pieR ( sorry cant be arsed to find the correct pie (3.142) symbol ) to work out cross section of your pipework.
Probbably telling you to suck eggs but might be interesting to others.
Just trying to make the point as well that ANY intercooler is NOT better than no Intercooler as excessive pressure drop means the turbo has to work harder to make more boost to compensate which means more heat in the compressed air which the small intercooler probably couldnt pull out so back to same charge temp at motor as with out intercooler but with turbo working harder and a more complicated system.
Yours on the other hand should be bloody good.
Keep the post coming mate, luvin it all.
thanks mates! yup just doing how Corky Bell the Great and Terrible taught us lol
fuck i love my copy of corky bell's max boost .............. so much gold in one book
nup mate they r welded on inserts as i always do, there r gonna be a few bracings as well
slingy i can pm u the max boost's pdf copy if u want it
Good stuff mate !!!!
helliluya to the Indjun god! feel free to use his link mate and have ur own free copy! i guess i have had mine from 1 of those places
but of coz i can pm u mine slingy!
here all week, try the beef !
