Could you please measure your intercooler cores for me?

Hieght, width and deepth please,




i have measurement for the Pro Alloy one already.


What i'm trying to do, is see what size cores RST's need for best ACT'S.


also if you have a ACT gauge, what temps do you see, and spec.


Cheers Danny

 

will make for interesting reading

 

fiesta turbo . radtech ,525mmx260mmx55mm. hope it helps

 

FRST radtec, 525 x 260 x 55mm, = 7518 m3 core area

ERST Pro alloy, 475 x 180 x 45mm, = 6435 m3 core area.

My Xr2tt 4wd cossie, 455 x 115 x 122mm, = 6384 m3 core area.

My Fiecos AH fabs rs500, 585 x 400 x 62mm, = 14508 m3 core area.




My xr2tt, see's 39oC at 6400 rpm in 5th, after a few back to back top speed runs. 1.6cvh, 2wd cossie T3 18psi, 200+ bhp

My cossie, 450bhp, gt30 26psi, 44oC on 28oc ambients and back to back top speed runs, 39oC with water inj on.




i've been looking at universal inters on ebay to replace my xr2tt 4wd cossie setup.
and looking at 550 x 180 x 65mm. = 6435 m3 core size.

 

Dan, I got a universal one: 450 x 300 x 76mm

 

That wouldn't fit on my car with out mod's that i dont want to do.

max core size to fit in the space, 600 x 180 x 125 mm.

 

Well in that case the Radtec one is too high for you then.

 

i'm not gonna buy a after market item made for a rST, As the prices are too high, and wont fit my car.


i just want to know the core sizes, for reference.

Cheap and cheerful - they've all got reference sizes on too.

 

this is one of the ones i was looking at.

Looks good - when the one turns up that I ordered (from the same shop), i'll get some close up pics of the welds, wall thickness etc.

The tanks don't look the best - but at £100... I can afford to try it out

 

i have been getting prices for 2, as i might put 2 together, and re make the end takes.

As that will be the best i could ever fit in the space i have, and will be fine for over 400+ bhp.

 

GRS,running hybred turbo at between 16-18psi.Never see more than 10C over ambient after 20 min sessions any time of year.Can't fault that!! Regards,Micky

 

could you measure the core for me please?


My xr2 or cossie never get hot ACT's on the track, niether dont go over 34oC on trackdays even in 29oC ambients,

 

Sorry Dan,but the car is 100 miles away from me parked up . Regards,Micky

 

its not just the size of the core that effects air charge temprature, other things such as if its a twin or single pass intercooler, the end tank design and the density of the cooling fins all make a major difference.

Twin pass GRS is the best

 

yes i know.

 

grs:

is:

h:28cm
l:57cm
w:6.5cm

comsi comsa

 

Now edited, and in order.

 

mine is the twin pass one though, dont no anything about the single pass

 

Even if its twin pass, the core is still the same size, but it might be more efficient.
